The Little Black Jacket

The little black jacket: an essential part of the feminine wardrobe

Having become a must-have in the women's wardrobe, the black jacket can be worn on all occasions. To go to the office, for a dinner with friends or dressed up, for an after-work evening, the black blazer fits perfectly into our busy days.

The black blazer can be worn endlessly, both in a total pantsuit look, with a shirt, or in a more casual version with jeans and a t-shirt, and even sneakers. It can also be worn with a dress, a skirt or Bermuda shorts. For a festive evening, the black blazer comes in the form of a tuxedo jacket with a silk satin collar.

Its versatility makes it a real ally in our wardrobes, to simplify our daily lives and save time in the morning.

Black blazer cuts: single-breasted and double-breasted

This essential piece of the women's wardrobe can be found in many cuts, from the most classic to the most original. At Facettes Studio, we develop perfectly timeless cuts that will also suit as many body types as possible. We choose cuts that are neither too fitted nor too oversized so that our jackets can withstand ephemeral trends. Discover the Lauren cut, a single-breasted jacket , as well as the Christy, a double-breasted double-breasted version . Traditionally, the direction of buttoning women's jackets is from right to left with the buttons sewn on the left front. We intentionally chose a masculine buttoning from left to right in order to break these old sartorial codes dating back to the Middle Ages.

The little black jacket: for all seasons

The black jacket not only crosses trends but also seasons: it is available in an infinite variety thanks to the play of materials and textures. From wool to linen, from cashmere and mohair to cotton, the black jacket adapts to many fabrics, from the simplest to the most elaborate.

For summer, theblack jacket comes in linen or cotton, or even in very light cold wool.

For winter, the black blazer comes in thicker wool like gabardine or flannel, or even cashmere and mohair for the warmest versions. Thicker cotton velvet is perfect for the holiday season.

For all seasons, a twill jacket or a black wool or cotton gabardine jacket , such as denim, is perfectly suited for blazers that are worn often.

The black blazer: a symbol of female empowerment

Originating from the male wardrobe and the world of work, women began to wear suits at the end of the 19th century and the blazer became part of the female wardrobe from the middle of the 20th century. The history of the blazer evolved from the suffragettes in the 1910s to the “power suits” of working girls in the 1980s. The trend of the women's trouser suit spread quickly and is now widespread outside the world of work. The women's blazer has freed itself from its traditional role and plays with codes to better circumvent them.
