A blazer is one thing that every man should have in his wardrobe. Smart clothing is not your thing? Still, a large size blazer is a good addition. At Suitable, we speak of large size blazers or blazers from size 56.

How should a large size men's blazer fit?

A common question from men is how exactly a blazer should fit. Keep in mind the following:

Shoulders
A blazer has, depending on the size, a certain shoulder width. When you stand straight there should still be room for about a small fingertip under the shoulder padding. You measure this by poking at the shoulder seam. If your finger disappears completely, the blazer is too wide. Another sign of too broad shoulders is when it 'sags' from the shoulders.

Belly/waist
It's neat if the button can close. Nowadays the blazer may 'squeeze' a bit. This means that you see a cross at the front of the blazer. Not too much of course, then it is too tight. Always fasten one button. Never two.

Length
Nowadays the length of blazers falls halfway the buttock. Classical men will find this less comfortable because traditionally a blazer falls over the buttock. A large size blazer that falls halfway down the buttock is considered a ladies blazer from a classic point of view. Nowadays this is no longer the case and a slightly shorter blazer is seen as 'sportier'.

Material choice for your large size blazer

A blazer is made in many different types of fabric. Consider this carefully when buying a blazer. The type of material affects the comfort of the blazer. Men's blazers are traditionally made from natural materials. You should think of wool, cotton or linen. Nowadays, synthetic materials are often woven through it because this can contribute to the shape retention.

If you wear a large size blazer (from size 56) and you get hot quickly, you should opt for a 100% linen, cotton or wool blazer. Now a linen blazer because of its creases quickly gives a casual look. So keep this in mind. A cotton blazer is often referred to as casual. Depending on the weave, a woolen blazer is classic, neat or sporty.

What type of trousers do you wear with a blazer?

Combine your blazer sporty with a jeans or classic with a chino. Which one you choose depends on the appearance you want to create.

Especially consider contrast. As a rule, contrasting colors or tones work better than color shades that are close to each other.

For example:
If you wear a dark blue blazer, combine this with a lighter trouser. A combination with dark blue trousers often doesn't work. Black can almost always. Just like lighter colors or shades of blue.
