Blazers can be paired with tailored trousers and shirts for formal occasions, or dark denim for a sophisticated yet laid-back look. Style with crew neck t-shirts or knitwear for a more casual look.

A men's blazer should fit like a dream. When fitting a blazer:

The shoulder seams should sit perfectly at the edge of your shoulder, without any wrinkles or bulges. Typically broad shoulders means a smaller waist, hence why made-to-measure is the only answer to nailing the fit.

The sleeves should fall effortlessly from the shoulder point and graze the wrist bone, allow for about 1cm and no more than 1/2 an inch of your shirt cuffs to show.

There should be enough room in the torso to comfortably button the blazer, yet it should be snug enough to accentuate your silhouette without loose, excess fabric.

A sports jacket for men can be worn for both formal and casual occasions. For a formal occasion, opt for tailored trousers in a complementary colour or pattern, a dress shirt, and a pair of sleek leather dress shoes.

If you’re going for a more relaxed look, pair your sports jacket with a casual shirt, dark denim and sneakers for a perfect blend of refinement and laid-back charm.

Let’s face it. You can have more fun with a sports jacket. A blazer tends to be styled in solid colours and has a more natural shoulder (slight padding or nothing at all). Your sports jacket is more suited to a laid-back vibe and typically has a patterned fabric such as micro designs, herringbone weaves or a contemporary houndstooth, for example. The styling of a sports jacket tends to have an unstructured shoulder, with expert tailoring to follow your natural shoulder line.
