………………….Summer blazers………….Winter blazers……………Transition blazers…..are they all one in the same? I would think if you live in a warm climate the answer would be an immediate NO……..Being a BLAZER MAN, and in a period of fashion where blazers have never been stronger,  I felt compelled to come up with the perfect Transition Blazer, A366195…………..The fabric would be of primary consideration….then the construction……….The blazer above I believe to be the perfect combination……….The fabric: GAUZE CREPE…..The construction: tailored where it needs to be un-constructed for weight and comfort.  The great majority of you know the Gauze Crepe fabric well….Due to working with the fabric for so many styles I knew it sewed well, and the duster showed me it could be tailored…..but could it be tailored into a blazer? I think the photos prove that yes it can. This is a three button jacket, but I prefer the top or the top two buttons buttoned only….For those of you with hip issues the top button will be enough giving you a cutaway bottom as the top photo in the right column….The BODY OF THE BLAZER IS LINED…..but not the sleeves. This keeps the jacket light and cool feeling…….You can even ROLL UP the sleeve like a shirt for a more casual look. There are shoulder yokes at the top, and two epaulettes for a military look. There are two patch pockets with buttoned flaps………There are shoulder pads to give the blazer a strong shoulder look, but they are SNAP OUT………The length of the size 4 blazer is approx. 28 inches from HPS……..For my Southern Ladies I did this blazer with you in mind so you may want to give it serious consideration…..For the Ladies in the rest of the country this is, as they say, a no brainer………The pant is the NEW BOOT CUT PANT in black, A366190……So many of you have asked me to please do another style pant in the lighter Ponte knit of the A265615 slim pant…here it is……Unfortunately it will not be avail in petites this go round. If it is as successful as the  Boot cut pant in the Super Ponte was, and it gets reordered then perhaps they will order it in a petite length…That is exactly what happened with the Super Ponte pant…..If you like your suits all in one fabric then there are still Gauze Crepe bottoms in Black avail. in different silhouettes………The NERO TREVI NECKLACE and EARRING were the perfect accent to give the suit the perfect punch……………………………..enjoy………………………much Love…………………………….Louis

…………How many different looks can you achieve with one blazer and one top? The black top is the Whisper Knit sleeveless shell, A302609………From left to right the bottoms are the New Camo skirt, A351473 [sneak peeks to come], next the Dk. Olive Boho skirt, A70208, next the new Loden Boot Cut pant in the light weight Ponte, A366190…..Now add some new accessories like the Fern Swirl necklace or the Nero Trevi necklace and coordinating earrings…………..and this is just the beginning. Enjoy putting your own looks together!…………………..enjoy……………………….much Love………………….Louis

……….For a more relaxed look to the blazer there is nothing simpler than a white tee shirt and a pair of jeans…………Add the Sapphire Blue scarf and the Trevi necklace and earring in the Blue for some eye catching accessories……….Jac would have worn this her way with a pair of her favorite sneakers…………………………enjoy…………………..much Love…………………..Louis

……….DARK KHAKI is a beautiful neutral color. Some may even call it Taupe. It’s a very European color. I have it paired with the new Dark Khaki Ponte boot cut pant, and a black WK shell. The pant and the blazer are in two very different fabrics so the colors blend more than match…….To accessorize I chose the new double tiered CHAIN GANG necklace in Gunmetal and Taupe resin links………I love the jacket worn with the sleeves rolled. Since they are unlined it gives the blazer a relaxed look……………….enjoy………………………much Love……………………..Louis

…………………….Ultimately all the clothes you own are SEPARATES, and should be mixed with things you own. This is how you get mileage out of what you own. This is how you bring new life to what you already own………Take your Dark Khaki blazer….add your white tee and add your cranberry scarf and Carmine Trevi necklace and earring, and add your jeans to create a very different look from your matching suit………..CLICK “OLDER POSTS” FOR MORE!……………enjoy………………………much Love………………………Louis
