In the first part of the article, Benoît will explain to you all the technical points you need to know about this summer blazer.
Next, I'm going to show you that it's very easy to wear a summer blazer without any hassle .
Finally, I will give you some tips for caring for your jacket, which are also valid for others.
Wearing a blazer is no more complicated than wearing a nice shirt : you simply need to have a minimum mastery of colors and materials. In summer, opt for light and comfortable materials, just to always stay comfortable.
Wear the blazer without risk (and without fear of reprisals)
In a very simple way, like Benoit: with a light shirt and raw jeans. Stick to a shirt whose color does not overpower that of the blazer, if the latter is already original. You know, blue goes with 99% of the contents of your wardrobe.

Florian chose to wear light-colored chinos, a white shirt, and a bright red belt to break the monotony of the outfit:

Like Florian, play on the patterns of your shirt to create a reminder with the color of your blazer. The hold remains balanced and secure.
A more casual button-down collar shirt (Uniqlo) works too!
Important note : Florian and Jonathan wear sizes 46 and 44 respectively. You see that even with a small body type, the blazer fits well. No need to be cut like JCVD .
“I like to wear the blazer with a tie”
And you are right, my dear friend. You can wear a tie over a white shirt very simply, without overdoing it. Just avoid patterned ties when your shirt is already covered in them, especially if the patterns on the shirt and tie are both the same size (no one wants to look like an optical illusion).
As we can see on Florian, a well-structured summer jacket gives a certain presence. Of course, Florian's hair charisma has a lot to do with it.
All joking aside, once cut out piece by piece, an outfit like this is widely accessible, and very simple to make. Because it relies above all on the fit of the parts that compose it. Then we have the three basic summer colors in this outfit: blue, white and beige. Even with well-fitted chinos, you won't risk looking stuffy.
“Florian’s style doesn’t scare me (neither does Florian), and I want to go further”
No worries, you can afford it, especially when it's a blazer that has a textured, quite crafted material.
So abuse knitted ties : they are made to be worn in summer. The chambray shirt offers a beautiful contrast of materials. In case of extreme heat, you can replace the raw jeans with chinos of the color of your choice. Believe me, you will stay in an effective outfit, without missteps.
You have yet another example of an elegant outfit with a chambray shirt.

My job does not allow me to dress the way I want (example: banker, notary, cooper)
Like Nicholas on the phone with the Pope , you can wear your blazer in a more formal way without taking too much trouble, and we recommend it.
A color like BGMG-02 will give your office outfits a fresh look, for the good reason that it's not a simple navy blue.
Just imagine the outfit without the blazer, you will understand, but not Nicolas just with a blazer, it's pretty weird otherwise .

What if I want to be casual during the summer?
Let go of the t-shirt. Just avoid v-necks or cheap tees.
In short, choose a simple t-shirt, with a solid color. But as with the shirt, don't choose colors that would overpower the blazer. Play with the materials: slightly textured cottons bode well in summer, including under a blazer.
Alexandre wears a pair of sneakers, chinos and a heather gray t-shirt, for an easy and casual look . He will therefore be able to join his friends around a rap battle, a beer in hand, and a pitbull on a leash in the other (rap abuse can be dangerous for your health).

With a casual shirt
Our white Kanye West hates wearing his shirt tucked into his pants (this is a big point of contention with Benoit, who is uncompromising on this). If you're like him, choose your shirt carefully, short enough not to stick out above your blazer, and make sure the rest of your outfit matches. Alexandre chose casual chinos and a pair of sneakers.

With a shirt out of the pants, nothing stops you from playing the ritals like Luca without s.

How to maintain a blazer?
To ensure a long life for your blazer (that’s what we hope for it), follow these few simple commandments:
- Your keys in your pockets, you won't put them.
You may already know this, but if you do it daily, your jacket will lose its shape. Apply it to all your suits and jackets. What is also not recommended: wallets, paperbacks, pets, and your hands (you are not a hooligan ).
- On a hanger he will sleep.
Your blazer respects you by making you look great. So respect his sleep without harming him.
Note: Never button your blazer when it is on a hanger, you risk deforming it.
- You will take it to the dry cleaners.
No need to drop it off at your dry cleaners after each outing. Once or twice a year is enough.
- Love he will receive.
Because without love, it's not the same.
