Meet the Marissa: a soft, relaxed check blazer made for easy everyday layering.

Some days, getting dressed calls for something simple: a comfortable layer that still feels considered. The Marissa brings warmth and personality to the everyday blazer, pairing a soft brushed texture with a bold, wearable check.

Its denim-blue and burnt-orange plaid adds an inviting touch of color, while the dropped shoulders and oversized cut keep the silhouette easy. It is the kind of piece you can throw over a basic top and wear with jeans, white denim, or leggings.

What makes this blazer stand out is the balance of cozy and polished: a slightly fuzzy, sweater-like knit, a classic pointed collar, a full row of soft pearl-white buttons, and neatly finished ribbed cuffs.

The Brooks Family is a family-run boutique in Savannah, Georgia, since 1976. This blazer is called the Marissa, and below are six details that make it a standout piece for your wardrobe.

1A bold check in warm, wearable tones

The plaid brings denim blue together with warm burnt orange for a check that feels distinctive without being difficult to style. Wear it over your everyday basics when you want a little more color and texture in your outfit.

★★★★★

"Three people asked about it, the first day I wore it. Three!."

Carol R., Pooler GA

2Soft brushed knit with a cozy feel

The knit has a brushed, slightly fuzzy finish that gives the Marissa its soft, sweater-like feel. It makes a comfortable layer for transitional weather, whether you are heading out for the day or keeping things casual at home.

★★★★★

"I wore it on a four hour drive and walked into dinner with no creases."

Diane M., Richmond Hill GA

3Long sleeves finished with ribbed cuffs

The Marissa features long sleeves with ribbed cuffs that add a neat finish to its relaxed shape. The dropped shoulders create an easy silhouette, so it layers naturally over a T-shirt or simple top.

★★★★★

"It skims straight over my middle instead of hugging it. The first blouse in years that does."

Linda K., Tybee Island GA

4An easy, relaxed oversized fit

Its oversized cut and dropped shoulders create an effortless fit without requiring complicated styling. Button it up as a cozy top or leave it open over a basic tee for a relaxed layered look.

★★★★★

"The little peral buttons are what sold me. Such a small thing, and it makes it."

Janet S., Guyton GA

5A point collar and pearl-white buttons

The classic point collar gives this cozy blazer a polished finishing touch. A full button placket with soft pearl-white buttons lets you wear it closed or open, depending on your outfit and the weather.

★★★★★

"I started with this color and went back again for it."

Maureen T., Statesboro GA

6Made for your everyday wardrobe
