Boxy crop blazer
Also known as: Cropped boxy blazer, Short box-cut blazer
Box-shaped, waist-length blazer with an emphatically straight drape — a statement piece of 80s and Y2K fashion.
Description
The boxy crop blazer is a hip-free tailored jacket type with a box-shaped silhouette, strongly extended shoulders and a straight, sometimes slightly flared box silhouette. The length usually ends below the chest or just above the natural waist — construction uses somewhat heavier fabrics such as wool blend, twill or denim with firm shape retention.
Worn with high-waisted trousers, Bermudas or midi skirts; the silhouette emphasises the upper body and creates an 80s power-suit contrast. The blazer often comes with double-breasted buttoning, high lapels and visible shoulder padding.
