A navy blue structured blazer with sharp, angular shoulders characteristic of 1980s power dressing. The jacket features a notched lapel, single-breasted closure with multiple buttons, and a fitted waist that creates the distinctive inverted triangle silhouette of the era. The blazer is worn over a teal blue blouse or top, creating the coordinated suiting look typical of professional women's wear during the power dressing movement. The shoulder construction appears heavily padded to create the broad-shouldered effect that symbolized authority and presence in corporate environments of the 1980s.

Both blazers draw from the same well of 1940s military precision—sharp shoulders, clean lines, and that particular navy authority that says "boardroom general." The 2000s version softens the 1980s original's aggressive shoulder padding into something more wearable, but keeps the essential DNA: structured lapels, strategic button placement, and that unmistakable silhouette that transforms its wearer into someone who gets things done.

That navy blazer carries the genetic code of 1980s power dressing, but stripped of its original aggression—where the coral sketch shows the full armor of double-breasted authority with peaked lapels and military precision, the contemporary version has been domesticated into something you'd wear to a parent-teacher conference.
