The piece

How to choose and wear a blazer

A tailored jacket worn without matching trousers. It sharpens anything underneath, from a tee and jeans to a dress, and is the single piece that most raises an outfit's formality.

How to choose

  • Navy first: it goes with grey, khaki, denim, white and black.
  • Wool or a wool blend holds its shape; linen for summer.
  • Natural shoulders and a length that covers the seat.

How blazer should fit

Shoulder seams at the shoulder bone, one button closing without pulling, sleeves showing a little shirt cuff.

Common mistakes

  • ✕Wearing the jacket from a suit as a blazer: the fabric looks unfinished without its trousers.
  • ✕Shoulders that stick out past your own.
  • ✕A hoodie underneath.

Care: Brush, hang on a shaped hanger, steam; dry clean rarely.

In a capsule: The piece that makes a capsule work for the office.

The details

Layering and fabric

What makes the colours above look deliberate.

Layering
The sleeves should show a little shirt cuff; wear it open with jeans.
Fabric
The same grey in a different weight: cotton or linen for summer, wool, flannel or heavier cotton for winter.

Avoid

What not to wear with grey blazer

Skip the grey sneakers. Sneakers are more casual than a blazer, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: head-to-toe grey is a clean tonal look; vary textures so it doesn't flatten.
Skip the camel sweater. Grey and camel are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
Skip the blue jeans. Jeans are more casual than a blazer, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: grey and denim blue are both neutral but similar in depth, so the outfit reads soft.
