PAUL SMITH

Contrast lapels velvet-cotton blazer

You can always trust Paul Smith to craft eveningwear beyond traditional black-tie attire. Take this blazer. Cut from super-soft velvet, this tailoring piece falls to a regular-fit silhouette and is topped with contrasting satin lapels. Your phone and event invite will securely fit within the two flap pockets, meaning you can go straight from the car to the venue without faffing around finding your essentials. The brand is renowned for its attention to detail, after all.
