Focus on: Unstructured Jacket. What are its origins?
What is an unstructured jacket? This term is commonly used in the fashion industry to describe the type of jacket that has been intentionally designed to have a more relaxed and unconstructed appearance.
The origin of this garment can be traced back to the late twentieth century, particularly in Italian fashion.
Between the 80s and 90s, Giorgio Armani played a significant role in popularizing the unstructured look. Armani is known for his innovative approach to tailoring, and this is how he began experimenting with the construction of less rigid jackets. These were made with lighter padding in the shoulders, making the look softer and more casual compared to traditional jackets.
The idea behind it was to challenge the conventions of formal men’s clothing and create a more modern and comfortable alternative.
Over the years, the concept of deconstruction has evolved and has been interpreted in various styles by different designers and brands, eventually becoming a true trend in the fashion world.
Opificio Modenese has also embraced the concept of the unstructured jacket. Expression of the chic and cool spirit of this season, and beyond, our unstructured blazer makes simplicity its essence. The light and comfortable fabric make it suitable for a day in the office but also for a day out. The original cut gives the garment a fresh and casual look, easily paired with a shirt or t-shirt. Perfect when worn with classic trousers!
We remind you that our garments are made of Sensitive® fabric, a technical fabric that adapts to the body’s shapes without highlighting critical points. Breathable and easy to maintain, it can be machine-washed at 30° and dries hanging in 2 hours, without the need for ironing. Perfect to pack for your vacation or business trip.
