Linen Blazers

A linen blazer is generally seen to be a summer garment reminiscent of style and clothing worn in warmer temperatures. The linen fabric is breathable and stays cool during warm summer days. The effect works best if you wear a linen shirt under your linen blazer. Linen blazers with a fabric made from a blend with cotton will fast become warmer, the more cotton there is in the fabric.

If your linen blazer is made from a thicker fabric, it can even be worn during the darker and cooler months. Especially when your thicker linen blazer has a darker colour tone such as navy blue, grey, brown or olive green.

During the summertime linen blazers made from light tones, such as beige and brown, becomes a classic. This piece is timeless and belongs to each men's wardrobe basics. They also fit very well with a suit. A linen blazer worn over a white shirt and a uncoloured cotton pocket square in the chest pocket, is one of the most down-toned style combinations you can wear.

If you want to wear a tie with your linen blazer, it is good to wear variants made from matt fabrics such as linen, cotton or silk woven as so-called grenadine. This gives the linen blazer a casual impression, and ties in these materials keep their shape over time.

A common theory when it comes to linen blazers is that they wrinkle. Of course the linen fabric wrinkles. It is a property that is natural for the fabric and adds to the charm of the garment. This is one of the reasons why the garment is seen as informal.
