Whether you’re gearing up for a boardroom presentation or a weekend getaway, the right blazer sets the tone for impeccable style. However, the secret to its impeccable fit and distinguished look lies in the choice of the right unstitched blazer fabric. 

Siyaram’s curated collection offers a wide array of quality fabrics, from luxurious silk blends to make blazers for men in weddings to durable cottons for the casual look, providing the foundation for a tailored blazer that not only looks impeccable but also feels exceptional to wear. In this blog, we’ll delve into the art of styling blazers for different occasions, providing tips and inspiration to help you elevate your look and make the most of this versatile garment.

Boardroom Ready

For formal settings such as boardroom meetings or professional events, opt for a classic tailored blazer in a neutral colour like navy, black, or charcoal grey. Pair it with tailored trousers, creating a cohesive and put-together ensemble. A crisp white button-down shirt made from Siyaram’s best fabric for formal shirts underneath adds a touch of sophistication, while a patterned or textured tie can inject personality into the look. Complete the outfit with polished leather dress shoes and a coordinating leather belt for a sleek and professional appearance that commands attention.

Casual Fridays

On casual Fridays at the office or when you want to achieve a smart-casual look, consider pairing your blazer with more relaxed separates. The first step to creating such a look is choosing the right unstitched suit fabric. Go for chequered fabrics or summer colors for a relaxed vibe. Next, swap out the tailored trousers for a pair of slim-fit chinos or dark-wash jeans for a more laid-back vibe. Opt for a lightweight, breathable button-down shirt in a subtle pattern or a solid color to keep things charming yet cozy. Loafers or brogues in suede or leather are a stylish footwear choice for casual Fridays, adding a refined touch to your ensemble.

Afternoon Outings

Transitioning your blazer from work to weekend is easy when styling it for a leisurely brunch or afternoon outing. Opt for a more casual approach by pairing your blazer with a comfortable and stylish option, such as a plain or subtly patterned T-shirt. Layering a lightweight sweater or a knitted polo shirt underneath can add warmth and texture to your look, perfect for cooler days. Pair your blazer with well-fitted jeans or chinos in a relaxed fit for an effortless weekend style. Complete the ensemble with casual footwear like loafers, boat shoes, or clean white sneakers for a laid-back yet put-together look that’s perfect for weekend adventures.

Date Night

For a stylish yet sophisticated date night look, elevate your blazer by pairing it with tailored trousers in a complementary color. Opt for a slim-fit shirt in a luxe fabric like silk or satin for a touch of elegance, and consider layering with a stylish waistcoat or vest for added dimension. Finish the ensemble with sleek leather dress shoes and a coordinating belt to tie the look together. Adding a pocket square or a statement watch can add a touch of personality and refinement to your outfit, making it perfect for a romantic evening out.

Special Occasions

For more formal events such as weddings or cocktail parties where you’d want to wear men’s formal wear, your blazer can be dressed up to suit the occasion. Opt for a tailored blazer made from the premium types of suiting fabrics like velvet or silk for a touch of opulence, and pair it with tailored trousers in a complementary shade. A crisp white dress shirt underneath adds a classic touch, while a patterned or textured tie can inject personality into the look. Complete the ensemble with polished leather dress shoes and accessories like a pocket square or cufflinks for a refined finishing touch.

Weekend Getaway Style

When preparing for a weekend getaway, Siyaram’s versatile collection of fabrics to tailor the best blazers for men offers the perfect solution for seamless day-to-night transitions. Pair it with a lightweight, casual button-down shirt for daytime exploring, opting for breathable fabrics like linen or cotton for comfort. Roll up the sleeves for a relaxed, laid-back vibe. For evening outings, swap the shirt for a well-fitted polo or a smart knit sweater for a touch of refinement. Style with dark jeans or tailored chinos. Finish off with comfortable yet stylish loafers or sneakers for all-day comfort.

Mastering Men’s Blazer Fits

Understanding the fit of your blazer is crucial to achieving a polished and sophisticated look. Plus, the fit significantly impacts the overall look of the blazer and how it suits different occasions. Here’s how to master the fit for various blazer styles:

Slim Fit Blazers

Slim fit blazers are tailored closer to the body, creating a sleek and modern silhouette. When trying on a slim fit blazer:

• Shoulders: The shoulders should align perfectly with your natural shoulder line, without any pulling or excess fabric.
• Sleeves: Sleeves should end at the wrist bone, allowing a quarter to half-inch of shirt cuff to show.
• Jacket Length: A slightly shorter length is common for slim-fit blazers, typically ending just below the waistline or at the top of the hips.
• Waist Suppression: Look for a slight taper at the waist to accentuate the V-shape of the torso.

Classic Fit Blazers

Classic fit blazers offer a more traditional, relaxed look with a bit more room throughout the body. Here’s what to consider:

• Shoulders: Similar to slim fit, the shoulders should fit snugly without any wrinkles or sagging.
• Sleeves: Follow the same rule as slim-fit blazers, ending at the wrist bone for a polished appearance.
• Jacket Length: Classic fit blazers typically fall just below the hips, providing a balanced and timeless look.
• Waist Suppression: While not as pronounced as slim fit, there should still be a slight taper at the waist for a tailored appearance.

Double-Breasted Blazers

These blazers feature overlapping front panels with two parallel columns of buttons. Here’s how to ensure the perfect fit:

• Shoulders: The shoulders should fit snugly without any pulling or excess fabric, similar to single-breasted blazers.
• Sleeves: Follow the same guidelines as single-breasted styles, ending at the wrist bone.
• Jacket Length: Double-breasted blazers often have a longer length, falling below the hips or mid-thigh for a sophisticated look.
• Buttoning: When buttoned, a double-breasted blazer should create a slimming effect. Always button the inner button (or top button, if it has three) and leave the outer button(s) undone for a classic appearance.

Unstructured Blazers

Unstructured blazers offer a more relaxed, casual look without the padding and structure of traditional styles. Here’s how to ensure a comfortable yet stylish fit:

1. Shoulders: The shoulders should still align with your natural shoulder line but with a softer, more relaxed fit.
2. Sleeves: Follow the same guidelines as other styles, ending at the wrist bone.
3. Jacket Length: Unstructured blazers often have a shorter length, hitting just below the waist or mid-hip for a casual vibe.
4. Waist Suppression: Minimal tapering at the waist or a straight cut is common for unstructured blazers, providing comfort and ease of movement.
