How To Choose The Perfect Blazer
AFI Insider
Few garments rival an iconic blazer. Loved by both men and women, a well-fitted blazer effortlessly exudes confidence and refinement. When it comes to timeless sophistication and sartorial elegance, blazers are an indispensable piece in any fashion-conscious person’s wardrobe.
Owning a selection of classic and contemporary styles ensures you're always prepared to make a fashion statement, no matter the occasion.
Whether you're attending a gala, a business meeting, or simply looking to elevate your daily attire, a blazer is the perfect way to add a touch of sophistication and style.
The current trends see more designers exploring non-traditional silhouettes and tailoring. These brands have managed to take traditional suiting, effortlessly flip it on its head, and recreate it anew to reflect the vibrant energy and diversity today's fashion customer.
The Fit Is Key
The key to mastering the art of wearing blazers lies in the fit. Always opt for a blazer that skims the shoulders and nips at the waist, creating a flattering silhouette that accentuates your physique.
From there, choose between single-breasted and double-breasted styles, each exuding its distinctive charm.
Embracing Relaxed Elegance
In modern suiting, rules are made to be broken, and the concept of wearing a suit without a tie has gained momentum in recent years.
This trend embraces relaxed elegance, allowing you to exude sophistication while injecting a touch of nonchalant charm.
When exploring this approach, consider blazers with designs that effortlessly bridge the gap between formal and casual, making it the perfect companion for events that call for a refined yet approachable appearance.
The Blazer Dress
From the era of Le Smoking, designers have always found ways to push boundaries with suiting. And the blazer dress is the modern iteration of this. It's honestly the best of both worlds. An oversized tailored blazer worn as a dress works as well as it would if worn as an overcoat or with tailored trousers.
