Key things to look for

What’s your best blazer fit?

1. Cropped to perfection

The cropped blazer is having a major moment. The ideal fit is a shortened length that hits at the waist. It will have your back during dinner dates when paired with a cocktail dress, or at work meetings with a pair of high-waisted wide-leg pants. You can also opt for a boxier fit with an oversized shoulder to elevate your everyday look.

Tip: Achieve the perfect fit by avoiding extremes – not too snug and not too loose. If your blazer is too small, you'll see the shoulders sticking out, pushing upwards, or the fabric wrinkling when buttoned. If it's too big, you'll notice it hanging over the shoulders and being too bulky on the body.

2. The tailored talent

The hardest working piece in your wardrobe, the tailored blazer means all business and is one of the smartest staples. The ideal fit will have a regular length. The shoulder seam will sit exactly on top of the shoulder and have a fitted silhouette. Whether you're suiting up or pairing it with jeans for a casual day-to-night look, this piece has you covered.

Tip: When buttoned, the blazer should lie flat against your chest without pulling or creating wrinkles. It should fit snugly but not be overly tight across the chest and waist. You should be able to bend forward and tie your shoes effortlessly if your blazer is the perfect size.
