Jackets and the trousers that go with them
Sizes and availability are confirmed by a stylist in store.
01
Blazer, sport coat or suit jacket
- Blazer: a solid-colour jacket, often navy or a light neutral like sand. The dressiest of the separates.
- Sport coat: a jacket with texture or pattern, like a check or a tweed. More relaxed.
- Suit jacket: cut to match its trousers. It can be worn alone if the fabric is plain and smooth.
02
How to wear one
- With dress trousers in a contrasting colour: a sand blazer with navy or charcoal trousers.
- With dark jeans and a dress shirt for dinner or a date.
- With a fine-knit crewneck instead of a shirt in the fall.
- With brown loafers or brogues. Save black patent shoes for evening wear.
03
Fit
A blazer fits like a suit jacket: the shoulder seam on your shoulder, the button closing without pulling, and a little shirt cuff showing. A stylist checks the fit and pins the sleeves and waist. See alterations and tailoring.

Five ways to wear a sand blazer
- With navy dress trousers and a white shirt for a spring wedding.
- With dark jeans and a light blue shirt for dinner.
- With charcoal trousers and a fine-knit crewneck for the office.
- With brown trousers and loafers for a day event.
- Over a cream shirt with the top button open for summer evenings.
A light blazer is one of the most useful jackets for a Michigan summer, from June to September.
06
The brown check sport coat in fall and winter
A check sport coat has texture, so it looks right with flannel trousers, knitwear and boots. Wear it from October to March in Sterling Heights with a roll-neck, a crewneck or an open-collar shirt. It is the jacket for a dinner, a game day or a weekend in the city when a suit is too much.
07
Buttons and lapels
- Two-button jacket: fasten the top button, never the bottom.
- Three-button jacket: fasten the middle button, the top one if you like.
- Unbutton the jacket when you sit, and button it again when you stand.
- A notch lapel is the everyday choice for a blazer. A peak lapel is dressier.
08
Blazer and jeans: the proportions
The blazer should be short enough to cover your seat and no longer. Choose dark, plain jeans with no rips and a straight or slim leg, hemmed with little or no break. Add a belt that matches the shoes, and keep the shirt tucked in.
09
Office, date night and church
- Office: blazer, dress trousers, a dress shirt, tie optional.
- Date night: blazer, dark jeans, an open-collar shirt or a fine knit, loafers.
- Church: blazer, dress trousers, a dress shirt and a tie.
Our pants and denim and shirts are on the same floor, so a stylist can match the jacket in one visit.

Fitting a blazer at Blite in Sterling Heights
A blazer fits like a suit jacket, and the stylist checks the same points: shoulder, chest, waist and sleeve. Visit 37742 Van Dyke Ave in Sterling Place Plaza, Sterling Heights. Free parking is in front, and the store is open seven days.
11
Blazer cloth through the year
A smooth wool blazer works most of the year. Linen and cotton blends breathe in a Michigan July but crease more. Tweed, flannel and heavier checks belong to the cold months. A stylist at our Sterling Heights store can tell you how each cloth on the floor wears.
12
Colours beyond navy
- Navy: the most useful blazer. Works with grey, tan and white trousers.
- Sand: light and summery. Works with navy, charcoal and brown.
- Brown check: the fall and winter jacket.
- Ivory dinner jacket: evening only, with black trousers.
13
Shirts under a blazer
A white or light blue dress shirt works under every blazer. An open-collar shirt or a fine-knit crewneck makes it casual. Keep the shirt collar sharp so it stands up under the lapels instead of collapsing.
14
Shoes with a blazer
Brown loafers, brogues and suede shoes suit most blazers. Black oxfords suit a navy blazer at a formal event. Clean leather sneakers can work with dark jeans on a casual night. Match the belt to the shoes.
15
A blazer as a wedding guest
For a daytime or garden wedding with no dress code, a navy or sand blazer with dress trousers, a dress shirt and a tie is correct. If the invitation says cocktail attire or formal, wear a suit instead. See the dress code guide.
16
Travelling with a blazer
Fold a blazer inside out at the shoulders so the lining takes the creases, or carry it on a hanger in a garment bag. Hang it in a steamy bathroom on arrival to let the creases drop out.
17
Why a blazer works in Michigan
Michigan weather changes fast, and a blazer is the jacket that handles it. In spring and fall it is enough on its own over a shirt. In winter it layers under a coat for the office or dinner. In summer an unlined, lighter blazer covers an evening on a patio without the weight of a suit. Our Sterling Heights stylists can tell you which blazers on the floor are lined and which are not.
18
Caring for a blazer
Hang a blazer on a shaped hanger, empty the pockets, and brush it after wearing. Let it rest a day between wears. Steam out creases instead of pressing them flat, and dry clean only when it is stained.
19
Blazer fit, point by point
A blazer is cut a little more relaxed than a suit jacket, but the same rules hold. The shoulder seam ends at your shoulder. The jacket closes without pulling. The sleeve shows a little shirt cuff. The hem covers your seat. Because a blazer is often worn with jeans or chinos, check the length in the mirror with the trousers you wear most.
- Shoulder: smooth, no dent and no overhang.
- Chest: the lapels lie flat when buttoned.
- Waist: shaped, but room to move your arms.
- Sleeve: ends at the wrist bone.
- Length: covers the seat, no longer.
A stylist at Blite pins any change in the store, so the blazer fits before it goes home.
