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.
Shoulders that fit; a slightly longer or relaxed cut works over dresses and wide trousers.
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.
