Blazer is the Perfect Add-on to Your Formal Attire
The corporate culture is shifting from a formal culture with strict protocols about your dress every day to a simpler way of working that allows individual preferences. But wearing a blazer in addition to your formal attire can work wonders for your personality. Especially if you had to attend a client meeting or an urgent meeting with your senior management.
It is crucial to select a proper blazer that suits your personality. And it is equally important to ensure you carry it well. Studies have shown that the way you dress conveys a lot about you. Hence you must be careful about what you wear. The color and design of the blazer must match with your personality. However, there are too many brands that are available that makes choosing the best ones a bit difficult. In this article, we will discuss some of the points to consider when selecting the ideal blazer for you.
How to Select a Blazer for Yourself
The Length
You must always wear the blazer and check its length. The length of the blazer is essential when you are visiting important events. Wearing a blazer of shorter length will not look professional at an official event. Also, wearing one too long will look awkward.
Also, ensure that the shoulder seams of your blazer are in line with your shoulder. The shoulders of the blazer should not be wrinkled. Just check that some part of your shirt peeks through when you bend your wrist with the palm facing the ground.
Your Personality
The color and design of the blazer should suit your personality. If you are a fresh graduate, a classic blazer in grey will good on you. For an experienced manager, a textured navy blue blazer will suit your personality. You can wear it to your meetings as well as the after-office parties.
Based on your personality, you can also choose the two-button or three-buttoned blazers. The two-buttoned ones provide a classic look and make you look taller. A three-buttoned one is ideal for taller people, and the buttons will be higher up on the chest.
The Size
It is crucial to get the size of the blazer right. Else you will look awkward wearing it. The fit on your shoulder is important. The shoulder seams of the blazer should not go down from your shoulder level, nor should it cramp up too much. You must also have the chest and the waist measurements done by the salesperson to ensure it is a correct fit for you.
A blazer with a bigger size will not look good on you, and you need to find a good tailor to customise it for you. But isn't it better than one with a shorter size as the tailor would not be able to be of much help!
Does it Fit Well?
Always make sure that the blazer is fitting you just fine. When the top button of the blazer is fastened, it should slightly touch your midsection but should not be too tight. On the other hand, if it is too loose near your stomach, you need to choose another one. The collar of the blazer rests on the collar of your shirt without too much gap in between.
The position of the armholes is equally essential. On the one hand, it should not be tight at the armpit; but there should not be too much room either. The buttons should start above your belly button. Wearing a perfectly fitting blazer is important; otherwise, you will not look comfortable in it.
The Weather
You must choose your blazer based on the weather. It should also double up as your overcoat when the weather is a bit cool. There are blazers available for colder regions. They are warm enough, and you can wear it with formals as well as casuals.
For warmer weather, you must wear blazers made from lighter clothing. There are also blazers made from lighter materials, like cotton and linen. You must pair them with trousers based on the color of the blazer.
The Color
The color of the blazer must be based on the reason for buying the blazer and your personality. The ideal one is a black colored blazer as it works just well for everyone. The grey and navy blue ones are also common for a formal set-up. A brown blazer should be kept aside for your parties. If you wish to be a change agent, you can opt for more vibrant options, like blue, maroon and other vibrant colors.
