Womens Blazers

Shop women's blazers by cloth

The Ava Blazer changes character with its cloth. Navy pinstripe merino, milled in Italy, gives it a composed office manner. Open-weave wool keeps the taupe and dark navy versions light enough for warmer months, while Solaro herringbone from Biella shifts from bronze to red in the light, for anyone happy to be noticed. Wool twill gives the Georgia House Cut a firmer, drier handle.

Notch lapel, peak lapel and short sleeve

The Ava Blazer is single-breasted with a wide notched lapel, a longline fit and natural horn buttons. The Georgia House Cut answers with a wide peak lapel and single-button closure, cleaner in line and a little more formal. The Black Crepe Short-Sleeve Blazer goes unstructured and unlined in Italian wool double crepe, which makes it the most sensible thing to wear in February.

Velvet women's blazers for evening

After dark, a women's blazer can do the work of a whole outfit. The Georgia Blazer in soft-touch black velvet keeps the structured shoulder and wide peak lapel, and sits as comfortably over a silk camisole as it does over a fine knit. Pair it with the Stella Bustier for something tuxedo-adjacent, or explore the full women's eveningwear collection.

What to wear with a women's blazer

Matching is the obvious move, and a good one: the Ava Blazer and Ava Pleated Trouser are cut to be worn together. Apart, a blazer looks after women's tailored trousers, sharpens a skirt and gives silk and poplin shirts somewhere to be. When the weather turns, layer a coat from our women's outerwear over the top.

Book a fitting at a P. Johnson showroom

A blazer lives or dies at the shoulder, which is easier judged in a mirror than on a screen. Visit our showrooms in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane or internationally to try women's blazers on and talk through cloth, cut and fit with our team.

Frequently Asked Questions

How should a women's blazer fit through the shoulders?

The shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your natural shoulder with no dimpling below it. Buttoned, the front should close flat without pulling, and the sleeve should end around the wrist bone, showing a little shirt cuff.

What is the difference between the Ava Blazer and the Georgia House Cut Blazer?

The Ava is longline with a wide notched lapel and single back vent, the softer and more versatile of the two. The Georgia House Cut has a wide peak lapel and a single button, giving it a cleaner, more formal line.

Can I have my P. Johnson blazer altered?

Yes. Our in-house tailors can adjust sleeve length and refine the fit through the body. Visit one of our showrooms and our team can advise on alterations that suit the cut and cloth.

Which women's blazers work best in an Australian summer?

Look for open-weave wool or unstructured cuts. The taupe and dark navy Ava Blazers use a light-weight open-weave wool, and the Black Crepe Short-Sleeve Blazer is unstructured and unlined, so it stays comfortable when the temperature climbs.
