PHYLLIS | Soft blazer with a stand collar

No lapels means no gap at the neck, and I had never thought about why that bothered me.

A notched lapel leaves a V at the throat, and a V asks for a necklace or a scarf to fill it. For years you have been solving that gap without noticing you were solving it. Phyllis has a stand collar instead, which closes the neckline on its own and leaves you nothing to accessorize around.

The collar stands upright at the neck rather than folding back, so the line finishes cleanly at the throat. Below it, the blazer is tailored to follow the shape of the body without gripping. The fabric is soft rather than suited, which is why it can hold a tailored line and still be comfortable through a whole day.

Why women our age keep coming back to it

• The neckline finishes itself. A stand collar closes the throat, so nothing needs to be added to fill a gap.
• Tailored but soft. The fabric gives, so a shaped blazer does not become the thing you take off at two in the afternoon.
• It reads as modern rather than corporate. Without notched lapels it does not look like a suit jacket separated from its suit.
• Two quiet colors. Brown and Gray, in S through 3XL.

How it fits

Phyllis comes in S through 3XL and is cut to follow the body. Because the collar stands rather than opening into a V, the fit across the upper chest is closer than on a lapel blazer, so check that measurement. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one. You have thirty days to try it at home.
