How Big & Tall Men Wear a Blazer With Jeans

Quick Answer: How to Wear a Blazer With Jeans

Pair a well-fitting sport jacket with dark, straight or slim straight jeans and a crisp shirt or knit. The jacket should fit at the shoulders and button without pulling, and the jeans should be clean and simple. It is the go-to smart casual look for date nights, dinners and nights out.

  • Jeans: dark wash, straight or slim straight
  • Jacket: sport jacket or blazer that fits at the shoulders
  • Top: dress shirt, casual shirt, polo or fine knit

Blazer and Jeans Rules for Big Men

  • Keep jeans dark and clean: no rips or heavy fading.
  • Fit the shoulders: everything else can be adjusted by choosing the right length.
  • Choose a knit jacket for comfort: knit sport jackets have more give.
  • Match your shoes: brown leather shoes or clean sneakers both work.
