The Guide On How To Style Your Blazer

The blazer is a garment which every man must have in their wardrobe. The versatility of the blazer can take you from the office to the bar, and it can be worn in so many different ways to create both smart and casual looks. This blogpost has been put together to give you helpful hints and tips on how to wear your blazer.

The fit

If the blazer pulls across the shoulders, there’s a possibility it is slightly too tight. If the shoulders of the blazer extend over your natural shoulders, the blazer is too big. When the blazer fits right you’ll see no wrinkles or pulls in the material.

1. With a shirt and trousers

For a formal occasion such as a wedding or a christening, wear your blazer with matching suit trousers and a dress shirt. Don’t be afraid to jazz up this formal ensemble with a quirky, colourful tie to give your outfit a pop of colour. If you’re wearing a three button suit jacket, remember the rule; Sometimes, Always, Never when it comes to fastening.

2. Layered with a cardigan or jumper

For the cooler days, wear your blazer layered with a shirt and cardigan or jumper. It’s a stylish way to layer up and gives a casual outfit a formal feel if you leave the blazer unbuttoned. Complete the look with a pair of slim fit jeans and a pair of tanned brogues.

3. With an Oxford shirt or polo shirt

Wearing an Oxford shirt underneath your blazer is always a winner for the smart casual occasions, such as a day at the office or a trip to the pub. Experiment with different prints and colours, but always make sure that they match your blazer. Polo shirts also have the same effect, and are more practical for the summer months. Wear your blazer unbuttoned for a laid-back look.
