Ralph Lauren~ Collection Spring 12 Cream Pinstripe Wool Blend Crepe Casey Blazer

Ralph Lauren launched the Spring 2012 show in a soft pastel color pallette. Powder blue, pale pink, pale yellow, and mint green separates were showcased, styled with long, flower-print scarves, bucket hats, basket purses, and platform shoes, perfectly balancing the luxurious material. Following his pastel color palate, the collection moved into looks that were crisp and clean - a refreshing adjustment. Tailored trousers and menswear-inspired jackets, vests, and ties added layers and dimension to all-white outfits; tassel belts and long, single-strand pearls added simple luxury; pinstripe pants and jackets were a simple, subtle alternative. Lauren’s girl Gatsbys had pinstriped three-piece suits with cropped pants, shorts, or full trousers to choose from, such as this elegant blazer. Presented alongside a bevy of dazzling Jazz Age-influenced dresses, Ralph Lauren Collection's meticulously tailored, menswear-inspired pieces enthralled us at the label's SS12 show. This pinstriped wool-blend crepe 'Casey' blazer is a favorite designs from the campaign and references the iconic style of the 'The Great Gatsby'. Take an androgynous angle as the runway did and team this elegant layer with a satin tie, patterned vest and crisp shorts. Chef’s kiss! Wonderful multi season fabric and color-way - you’ll wear often, to the office, over jeans about town, to a function over flowing palazzo pants or maxi skirt. Very gently worn, faint pin size mark pictured, lovely condition.
