FAQs

How long should a blazer be on a woman?

A typical blazer for women hits just above the hip bone, but blazers come in so many sizes and styles; check out our range to find the perfect one for you!

Should a women’s blazer be tight or loose?

It depends on personal preference and the occasion. For a more formal look, a blazer that is snug but not tight is ideal. For a casual look, a slightly looser blazer can be more comfortable and relaxed.

How should you sit with a blazer?

Make sure you have undone any blazer buttons before sitting. Sit back in your chair, keep your back straight, and relax your shoulders. Don't let the blazer ride up too high or bunch.

How do you know if a blazer fits right?

It should feel comfy, not too tight or loose. You should be able to move easily, and the buttons should close without pulling. The shoulders of the blazer should end at your natural shoulder and the sleeves shouldn't go beyond your wrist.

Should I get my blazers one size bigger?

Whether or not to buy your blazer one size bigger depends on your personal preference and the fit of the blazer. It's generally recommended to try on blazers in different sizes to determine which one fits you best. If the blazer feels too tight or restrictive in your usual size, or if you prefer a looser or more relaxed fit, you may want to consider sizing up.

FAQs

How to choose the perfect blazer? ›

Chest/Waist: The blazer should slightly nip in at your waist and fit comfortably over your chest. Sleeves: The sleeves should reach your wrist and have a little room for movement. Length: The bottom of the blazer should hit just above your hips; or, a long blazer can be slightly extended, creating a flattering shape.

How to find a good fitting blazer? ›

A blazer with the right girth will probably just feel right—not too loose, not too tight. As a visual check, button the blazer up completely and observe the fabric surrounding the buttons. If you notice folds naturally occurring in the fabric (usually in the shape of an "X"), the blazer is too tight.

How do you make a perfect blazer? ›

Sew up your jacket in a muslin fabric that's similar in weight to your final garment. Test how it fits over the clothes you intend to wear underneath; also check the length of both the jacket and sleeves, and make sure the circumference at the bust, waist and hip feel good.
