Splurge Monday’s Workwear Report: Parisa Velvet Single-Breasted Suit Blazer

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

December is probably the only time of the year when I’d consider wearing a velvet blazer, although this jacket from Reiss is so pretty, I might have to fight the urge to break it out in August. The satin trim adds a little extra elegance, and the cut is spectacular. 

I wouldn’t wear this on a normal office day, but I’ve had to go to a lot of lunchtime gatherings recently where a slightly festive look would be totally appropriate. Add these tiny studs for a little extra hint of holiday cheer.

The blazer is $500 at Reiss and comes in sizes 0-14.

Looking for something more affordable? Try this blazer from Liverpool (XS-XL, $119) or this NYDJ blazer (lucky plus sizes, on sale for $104).
