YVONNE | Short sleeve blazer for summer
Short sleeves on a blazer sounded odd until I wore one in August.
In a Phoenix summer the blazer is the first thing to go. You want the structure it gives, especially over a sleeveless dress, and there is no version of a long-sleeved jacket that is bearable at four in the afternoon. So most of us go without and feel slightly undressed. Yvonne is the compromise nobody offered you.
The sleeve stops above the elbow, which removes the hottest part of a jacket while keeping the shoulder line that does the actual work. The construction is light, so there is no padding trapping heat at the back. The cut is tailored through the body, so it still reads as a blazer rather than as a shirt worn open.
Why women our age keep coming back to it
- The shoulder line without the heat. Structure at the shoulder is what a blazer is for, and the sleeve is what makes it unwearable in summer.
- It covers the upper arm. If you have stopped wearing sleeveless dresses on their own, this solves that without a cardigan.
- Light construction. No padding across the back, so it does not become the thing you shed at lunch.
- Six colors. Black, Red, Apricot, White, Light Gray and Khaki, in S through 3XL.

How it fits
Yvonne comes in S through 3XL and is tailored through the body. The chart has no sleeve column for this one because the sleeve is short, so go by the bust and the length. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one. You have thirty days to try it at home.
30 days to change your mind
If it does not find its place in your closet, send it back within 30 days for a full refund. No restocking fee, no questions.
