Blazers
have been an all-time favourite of all those men who love the formal look. But
now, it has become so versatile. You can now wear those classic blazers to
casual as well as formal occasions.For most of us, we don’t really know how to
appropriately match our clothing to get a sophisticated look. Here are a few
tips which can help you wear your blazer without looking like a mess.
Buying tips
If you
don’t already have a good collection of blazers, then you need to go out buy
some soon. And don’t think that blazers are just meant for men who are in
shape. You will see that most of the stores keep plus size men’s jackets and blazers. When you go out to buy
a blazer, you need to check how well that particular size fits you, its style
and the options of colours.
1.
Types- there
are many kinds of blazers out there in the market nowadays. But the standard
two-button and the double breasted ones are the most classic forms. But you
need to consider whether you are getting the blazer for mostly casual occasions
or formal ones. Blazers with unstructured shoulders or no padding in the
shoulders and patch pockets are better as a casual wear and should not be an
option for your important business meetings.
2.
Fit- if you
don’t get a perfect fitting blazer, your whole effort will be in vain. Your
blazer has to fit you well to bring out the best in you. The blazer is too
tight for you if it forms the shape of an ’X’ when you button it or the sleeves
and the shoulders have pulls and are too tight for you. A very loose blazer
will have a wrinkly and dishevelled appearance where the shoulder might extend
further from your natural shoulder. The cuffs of the blazer might also cross
your knuckles.
3.
Colour- the
colour of your blazer should match the items in your wardrobe. While grey and
navy are very versatile and safe, you can get a little trendy with maroon and a
vibrant blue blazer. Tan and brown colours are great for casual occasions.
Styling tips
Women are
known to be the styling experts and they also have a lot of options like plus size women’s winter jackets and blazers
to choose from. But after getting the perfect blazers for yourself, you need to
learn to style them properly to look sleek and handsome.
