The blazer, a great basic


The timeless piece


The blazer made its first appearance in 1893 in Vogue. More than 125 years later, it's still very fashionable. At the time, the blazer was primarily a men's garment: women borrowed the blazers of men who had gone to war.
Over the years, this garment has become a must-have in women's wardrobes and has invaded the fashion shows of luxury brands. The blazer, simply defined as a "light jacket," is a symbol of elegance, comfort, and authority. It can be worn to the office, for a day of shopping, for a romantic dinner, etc.; there is no real occasion to wear a blazer.

The different models

Choosing the right cut for your blazer

The fitted blazer allows you to mark the waist and refine the silhouette, while the straight cut blazer allows you to assert your look and lengthen the silhouette.
Whatever blazer style you have, both cuts allow you to define your shape and enhance your look . Beyond that, the material adapts to the season: wool for winter and silk for summer.
The blazer goes with all seasons depending on its material!

The blazer and its patterns

  • The floral blazer for a touch of freshness
  • The checked blazer for an elegant look

  • And the classic version to balance your outfit

Tip for rolling up blazer sleeves

Have you fallen for a blazer but the sleeves are too big? Or have you had a blazer that's too big in your closet for years and you don't dare wear it? Don't worry, Stéphanie, an image consultant, has a tip for your blazer jacket!

Take two elastic bands and wrap them around your arm, just below the elbow for added style. All you have to do is roll up your sleeves for ultimate comfort. To replicate this trick, opt for wider elastic bands and a fairly thick blazer.

Thanks to this tip, your wrists will be clearly visible and you will be able to wear all the jewelry you want (without exaggerating of course, ladies!)

The blazer, a real basic that we never tire of!
