Product Information
Full details
The Stradivarius Basic Knit Blazer is designed for adult women seeking a versatile, smart-casual outerwear piece that transitions seamlessly from office hours to evening social settings. Its primary benefit is the combination of a classic tailored silhouette with the relaxed comfort of knit material, offering a polished look without the stiffness of traditional suiting. One important caveat is that the polyester material requires specific care to maintain its texture and structure, making it less suitable for those who prefer low-maintenance, tumble-dry-only garments.

FAQs
Is this blazer suitable for summer wear?
The knit polyester material is relatively light, but it is best suited for mild temperatures or climate-controlled environments rather than intense direct heat.
Does the blazer run true to size?
The blazer is designed with a standard adult fit. It is recommended to check your measurements against the size guide if you prefer a looser or more fitted look.
Can I put this in the dryer?
It is highly recommended to air dry the blazer flat to maintain the integrity of the knit fabric and prevent shrinking.
What is the primary material used?
The blazer is made from polyester, chosen for its durability and wrinkle-resistant properties.
Does the striped lining show when the sleeves are down?
No, the striped lining is specifically placed to be visible only when you choose to roll up the sleeves.
Are the front pockets functional?
Yes, the front flap pockets are designed for functional use.
Troubleshooting
Visible wrinkles upon taking out of the package
Use a handheld garment steamer or hang in the bathroom while taking a hot shower to let the steam relax the fabric fibers.
Fabric appears slightly pilled after extended use
Gently use a fabric shaver or lint remover specifically designed for knit garments to remove surface fuzz.
Button feels loose after heavy wear
Reinforce the button by re-stitching with a needle and matching thread to ensure the closure remains secure.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure your blazer maintains its shape and appearance, follow these care guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a gentle, cool machine wash setting or professional dry cleaning. Avoid high-heat tumble drying, as this can damage the polyester fibers and cause the knit to lose its structure.
- Storage: Always hang your blazer on a padded or wide-shoulder hanger to prevent the fabric from stretching or puckering at the shoulders.
- Ironing: If needed, use a low-heat steam iron to remove wrinkles, keeping the iron moving constantly to avoid scorching the fabric.
- Compatibility: This blazer is highly compatible with a wide range of bottoms, including dark denim, high-waisted slacks, or pencil skirts, making it a reliable staple for any capsule collection.
