How to wear a suit three ways

One blazer, three very different moods. Notes on cut, proportion, and the small moves that change a look entirely.

A good blazer doesn't ask for much. It sits well, holds a line, and does what you tell it to.

One — The boardroom

Worn over a fine silk shirt, closed at the button, paired with our wide trouser. The proportions should feel tall and uninterrupted.

A suit is a system. Change one piece and the whole thing rebalances.

Two — The dinner

Same blazer, worn open. Shirt swapped for a silk slip, or nothing at all.

Three — The weekend

Over a knit, sleeves pushed back, half-buttoned.

A short note on fit

None of this works if the shoulders are wrong. The seam should sit at the edge of your natural shoulder — not past it, not inside it.
