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 navy in a different weight: cotton or linen for summer, wool, flannel or heavier cotton for winter.

Avoid

What not to wear with navy blazer

Skip the navy 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 navy is a clean tonal look; vary textures so it doesn't flatten.
Skip the green polo shirt. A polo shirt is more casual than a blazer, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: navy is a neutral, so it lets green be the accent without clashing.
Skip the sage linen pants. Linen pants are more casual than a blazer, so the pairing only works in a deliberately mixed outfit. Colour-wise it works: navy is a neutral, so it lets sage be the accent without clashing.
