Introduction
The blazer is the ultimate go-to for smart-casual outfits. It’s a layer that can be worn over or under other clothing, and it instantly elevates your look from jeans to suit-and-tie ready. Not to mention it’s the perfect piece of outerwear for any season. That said, if you’re going to wear a blazer on a regular basis you need one that fits like a second skin: not too tight but not too baggy either. Start by understanding your body type and what kind of fit will work best with each one!
Fit is the most important part of a blazer, and your body type will determine what kind of fit you need.
Fit is the most important part of a blazer, and your body type will determine what kind of fit you need. A good fit is key to making sure that you look sharp in your new blazer.
This will depend on what kind of blazer you buy, where you wear it and even who you’re trying to impress with your style choices. For example: if someone has broad shoulders but a small waistline (like me), then they should try looking for jackets with padded shoulders or ones that have been tailored specifically for their body type.
If someone has long arms but short legs then they may benefit from buying jackets with longer sleeves so as not to draw attention away from their face when standing next to someone else at work or school; however if this person were wearing jeans instead then short sleeves would be fine because there isn’t much else competing for attention besides jeans themselves!
You want the jacket to fit snugly but not so tight that you can’t move or breathe.
You want your jacket to fit snugly but not so tight that you can’t move or breathe. The ideal blazer should be able to accommodate your arms freely, without making them look like they’re crammed into a sausage casing. A good rule of thumb is that if it feels like there’s no room in the shoulders, then it’s too small!
You should also make sure the rest of the jacket fits properly–it shouldn’t be so loose-fitting that it looks ill-fitting or unflattering (and if this happens often enough, consider getting some tailoring done).
If you’re bigger in the chest, buy a size up in the jacket.

If you’re big in the waist and have a hard time keeping your shirt tucked in, look for larger vents (the side slits). They allow more movement, which helps keep you cool and prevent wrinkles on your shirts.
Make sure it fits from shoulder to shoulder, and from shoulder-to-outseam.
Before you buy, it’s important to make sure that your blazer fits correctly. The shoulders should be aligned with yours, so there’s enough room for movement and the fabric doesn’t bunch up when you raise your arms above your head. If it doesn’t fit right, return it–it will only make things worse if you try to alter it yourself.
The back of the jacket should cover most of your butt (not all of it). This will keep wind from blowing through while keeping drafts out as well as making sure no one can see anything under there–especially if they’re wearing white pants!
Wear it open with a buttoned-up shirt or sweater underneath.

Tuck in your shirt, then wear the blazer over it. This look is perfect for business meetings, interviews, and other formal occasions where you want to look sharp without going overboard on formality.
-
Wear the blazer with a tie as an alternative to a suit jacket–it’s easy to do and looks great! Just make sure that the tie matches both your pants and shoes (or socks). If there is any doubt about whether or not this will work for you…don’t do it!
