Pick the Right Blazer Design and Blaze Ahead of the Crowd

No matter what your style sensibilities are, no wardrobe is ever complete without a sleek, well-crafted blazer. Blazers can make your shoulders look wider, torso look leaner, and can even make your legs look longer if styled with care. As this piece is often a staple for men during the wedding season, you must learn how to pick the right blazer design for different looks. Keep reading to find out how you can stand out in a crowd with an exceptional outfit!

Finding the perfect blazer design

As is the case with many formal pieces of clothing, there are certain rules that you must keep in mind when buying blazers. If you follow all of them, you can ensure that you walk away with a blazer that looks fantastic on you.

1. Length

When you try on a blazer, stand straight and keeps your arms at the side. Now, notice the hem of the blazer. Does it fall between the start and end of your thumb? If so, the length is right for you. If not, it’s time to try on a different one. By sticking to this rule, you can make sure that the blazer is just long enough to cover your hips, but not so long that it starts looking baggy. Furthermore, this length can do wonders for men who want to look taller.

2. Room

There is a world of difference between a suit jacket and a blazer. When you wear a suit jacket with a different outfit, it can be quite obvious that it is a part of a different ensemble set. Furthermore, suit jackets are crafted in a way that allows them to only accommodate a single layer. Blazers, on the other hand, differ in both these aspects. They are meant to be paired with different looks and can accommodate multiple layers. This can be particularly helpful during winter weddings.

3. Colours and patterns

When you wear Sherwani, you find yourself exploring various colours and prints. However, often, when men wear a blazer, they find themselves gravitating towards solids like blacks and greys. Employ the same sense of style you have while exploring men's fashion when it comes to Indian attire. This can help you get statement blazer designs that will help you stand out at any function.

Picking the right fabrics

Once you have the basic blazer design down pat, you must turn your attention to the fabric. Different fabrics are suitable for specific occasions and weather. Nailing this little detail can help you construct an outfit that not only looks great but is also appropriate for the functions you have in mind. Here’s a simple breakdown of the different fabrics, and when you can wear them:

1. Cotton

Cotton is lightweight, making it ideal for summer events. Generally, this fabric does hold its shape but little additions like shoulder pads can help them look more structured.

2. Wool blends

This fabric is lovely for spring and autumn as it will give you both, warmth and coolness. Navy wool blend blazers are classics and you should include one in your wardrobe.

3. Tweed

In all honesty, tweed can be one of the most interesting fabrics you can wear. Tweed has a beautiful texture that can add depth to your outfit and make you look really dapper. Keep in mind that it is a warm fabric and you will roast in the summer if you wear it!

4. Linen

Another beautiful, lightweight fabric, linen is apt for the sweltering summer heat. This fabric crumples easily and does not always hold its structure that well. So, make sure you steam-iron it before putting it on. Nothing’s as ungainly as a wrinkly blazer!

Styling tips!

Keep in mind these simple styling tips that will help you pick your outfit:

1. If you are going for a casual soiree, pair your linen jacket with well-fitting three-quarter shorts.
2. You can use tweed to break up monochromatic outfits without adding additional colour.
3. Yes, you can wear jeans with blazers, but this look is not appropriate for weddings. Instead, wear this attire for a casual brunch.
4. Wear a statement blazer design with a monochromatic outfit to highlight your personality.
5. Don a double-breasted blazer to look slimmer.
6. Please don’t ever roll up the sleeves! If you’re feeling warm, just take the blazer off.
7. Use colour blocking for a unique look.

With an arsenal of blazers at your disposal, you can look dapper at any given function. By taking just a little bit of care while styling yourself, you can ensure that the same blazer design helps you create a myriad of funky outfits! Just remember not to upstage the groom!
