Straight blazer

The simplicity of lines in service of the silhouette

The single-breasted blazer is defined by its single-row button fastening (generally two, sometimes three). This classic construction is the most universal and the most flattering for the majority of male body types. The single-breasted blazer creates a deep V-opening at the chest that visually lengthens the torso and slims the waist, offering a slender and dynamic silhouette without the visual bulk of a double-breasted model.

The go-to for professional and urban everyday life

Less imposing and easier to wear on a daily basis than the double-breasted blazer, the single-breasted model is the true Swiss Army knife of the wardrobe. It can be worn buttoned up for an important meeting or left open in a relaxed manner for lunch. Its architectural simplicity makes it the ideal canvas to showcase the fabric, the fineness of the notched lapels and the quality of the accompanying accessories.

Our style tips: how to wear a single-breasted blazer?

The single-breasted blazer follows one very simple rule of movement:

• The business casual silhouette: Wear a textured grey single-breasted blazer with a white shirt, a silk knit tie and navy blue chino trousers.
• Relaxed mastery: Wear it open over a light denim shirt with ecru cotton trousers for a superb contrast of textures.
• The golden rule of buttoning: When standing, fasten only the top button (on a two-button jacket). When sitting, open the jacket fully to prevent the fabric from losing its shape.
