Express Pre-Owned Shrunken Blazer – Ruched Sleeves & Asymmetric Hem | Size 6!

The blazer that does it all. This pre-owned Express shrunken blazer is the kind of piece that anchors an entire wardrobe — structured enough for the office, cool enough for a night out, and versatile enough to style a dozen different ways.

Every pre-owned piece you choose is a vote for a better fashion system. The clothing industry generates over 92 million tons of textile waste annually. By choosing this pre-loved Express blazer from Thirteen Vintage, you're actively reducing that number — extending the life of a quality garment, conserving the resources that went into making it, and keeping it out of landfill.
