Jackets and Blazers for Men

A men's jacket is a wardrobe essential that effortlessly complements any outfit. It's versatile enough for a job interview or a casual day out, pairing well with a T-shirt and jeans, or dressed up with a shirt and chinos. At Suitable, our wide range of top brands gives you easy access to the perfect jacket with just a few clicks, delivered quickly and free to your door.

Is a blazer the same as a jacket?

While these two styles overlap, they're not identical. A jacket is part of a suit or inspired by it, often crafted from finer fabrics, fitted, and ideal for formal occasions. In contrast, a blazer is more casual and versatile, with options like bold buttons or a laid-back aesthetic. In recent years, the distinctions between blazers and jackets have blurred, and the terms are used interchangeably.

When to wear a jacket?

Business Occasions

Despite evolving dress codes, a jacket remains a smart choice for client meetings, important presentations, or job interviews. Deep blue and charcoal are safe, stylish colours to project professionalism. A subtle checkered jacket exudes sophistication without being overly formal.

Relaxed Moments

A blazer effortlessly elevates your casual attire, creating a stylish contrast. Pair a cotton blazer with a basic T-shirt, your favourite jeans, perhaps distressed, and rugged boots. Roll up the sleeves for a laid-back look. Feel free to mix colours and fabrics. Go for a relaxed fit, ensuring a neat shoulder line and sleeves ending just above your wrists for a balance of style and comfort.

What are jackets made of?

Pair men's blazers with tailored trousers or casual jeans for a polished but casual look. Suitable offers a range of luxuriously finished men's jackets in linen, cotton, and (merino) wool. Some models feature stretch for added comfort, suitable for any occasion. Wear them as part of your work ensemble or as a chic casual layer.

Choose the Perfect Fit

Men's jackets come in various fits. Consider what suits your physique best:

• A Slim-Fit blazer has a tailored silhouette, hugging the body comfortably. Known for its sleek cut.
• A Modern-Fit offers a contemporary, slightly tailored look, currently a trendy choice.
• Opt for a Regular-Fit for a straight cut that flatters diverse body types.

What to Wear Under a Jacket?

Men's jackets offer endless pairing options. For formal occasions, match a jacket with corresponding trousers. For smart casual vibes, pair your jacket with chinos or dark denim. Complete the look with a shirt or a refined polo. Privately, style your men's jacket with a T-shirt or polo shirt and finish with jeans and sneakers.

What to Wear to an Interview?

A job interview is nerve-wracking enough. Keep your attire simple yet elegant: opt for a neutral-hued jacket in navy, charcoal, or grey. Pair it with contrasting chinos or trousers and a crisp white or light blue shirt. Coordinate your shoes with a belt in black or dark brown. Check the company’s dress code beforehand to avoid being either too formal or too casual for the occasion. If a tie is required, opt for a plain or subtly patterned one to exude calm and confidence.

How to Care for a Jacket or Blazer?

To ensure the longevity of your jacket, here are some handy tips:

• Rotate jackets regularly to reduce wear and tear.
• Hang your blazer on a broad hanger to retain its shoulder shape.
• Take your jacket to the dry cleaner quarterly.
• For minor stains, gently dab with a damp cloth (avoid chemicals).
• Store your blazer in a breathable garment bag.

How to Use the Pockets of Your Jacket?

Minimalistic is key. Heavy or bulky items distort the fabric and alter the silhouette. Limit your contents to essentials like a phone or pen to keep your jacket looking sharp.
