The difference between fashion and style is simple but fundamental. Fashion explains global clothing trends at every stage of their lifecycles, whereas style is uniquely yours.

At St Malo, we’re not concerned about whether or not our apparel appeals to the masses. Our commitment is to provide all women with luxurious blazers that inspire self-confidence, authenticity, and the comfort to be yourself – within your own style.

We believe the women’s blazer to be equivalent to the little black dress. As any female will know, having a form-fitting black number is a woman’s wardrobe essential. That’s because there are more than a dozen occasions where it can be worn. Not only does the little black dress save you the time, money, and stress of having to find something to wear – but it’s a classic look that brings out all of your best qualities too.

And so it is with the St Malo Blazer. It helps you transition smoothly from boardroom to bar, is perfect for Saturday sundowners, and your upcoming date night. It can be dressed up or down, accessorized with anything, and perfectly paired with most colours.

In the world of fashion, the women’s blazer was introduced by Coco Chanel as a way to protest clothing for women in the workplace. In the 1950’s, women wanted to be taken more seriously in corporate settings. So, instead of wearing skirts and dresses – which would position them more as an object than an equal – many women began wearing the feminine equivalent of a suit.
