Layered over the shirt was a statement blazer adorned with intricate rose-shaped floral embroidery on the bodice and sleeves. Padded shoulders and a tailored fit accentuated the structured silhouette, while notch lapel collars and an open-front design enhanced the edgy appeal. Karan paired this with sleek black flared pants and heeled dress shoes, making a powerful style statement.
