What is the difference between a tailored blazer and a suit jacket?

Construction is similar; intended use is different. A suit jacket is sold as part of a matching set with trousers or a skirt in identical fabric. A tailored blazer is designed to be worn on its own or with contrasting bottoms. Most Luna blazers can be purchased with their matching Luna trouser to form a suit; check the related products section on each blazer page.

What size blazer should a woman over 50 buy?

Take the bust measurement at the fullest point and compare against the size chart on each product page. The blazer should close at the button without strain across the bust and lie flat at the lapel. Most women over fifty fit cleanest in their measured bust size, not their dress size.

What color blazer should I buy first?

Navy or black for the most working pivots across business and evening. Ivory or sand for daytime, summer, and warm-weather wedding events. If you already own one of these, add a structured bordeaux or midnight blue for evening occasions.

Can a blazer be worn with jeans?

Yes, with the right blazer. The Natasha sand-beige and the Lola white blazer work with dark or tailored straight-leg denim. The structured wool blazers (Alexa navy, Agatha ivory) work less well with denim because the formality mismatch reads off. Save those for trousers.

How should a blazer fit at the shoulders?

The shoulder seam should sit flush at the outer edge of the natural shoulder. No overhang past the shoulder bone, no compression pulling the seam inward. Lapel should lie flat against the chest without pulling. If shoulders are correct but the body needs adjustment, take to a tailor for waist suppression.

Are Luna blazers fully lined?

Yes. All Luna blazers are fully lined in viscose or viscose-blend lining. Heavier wool and wool-blend pieces have additional half-canvas chest construction. Lighter jacquard and lace blazers have machine-fused interlining for shape retention.

Can I wear a Luna blazer to a wedding?

Yes, with the right pairing. The Agatha ivory blazer with matching ivory pants is a mother-of-the-bride pantsuit. The Jody lace blazer in bordeaux over a coordinated bodysuit and pencil skirt reads as black-tie optional. The Alexa red and the standard navy and sand are better suited to business and daytime events.

What is the care code for a Luna blazer?

Dry clean only on all wool and wool-blend blazers. Spot clean any lace or jacquard blazer; dry clean for full cleaning. Hang on a wide wooden hanger when not in use. Steam from inside out for wrinkle release; do not iron the outer fabric directly.
