Calvin Klein Men’s Slim Fit Suit Separates
Gorgeous and Understated
Perfectly appropriate alone or as a suit, this slim fitting blazer hits all the high-fashion style points you’ve been wanting in a more dressy blazer for men. Made mostly of wool (94% wool, 6% lycra spandex), this suit coat has impeccable fit, style, and craftsmanship. Whether you need the whole shebang or just the blazer, this look can be worn separately or as an entire perfectly-fit suit. Wool wicks moisture so regardless of the event or time of year, you’ll feel comfortable and classy.
One of the issues with cheaper, lesser-quality fabrics is that the blazer just won’t hold up over wear and time and washings. With this blazer, for men that wear one frequently, you’ll find that it retains its shape well, the quality of the fabric maintains its integrity, and the feel and fit just seem to get better with every washing.
Pros:
- Just enough stretch to take it from stuffy to comfy.
- True to size fitting.
- High-quality fabrics that hold up well.
Cons:
- Although wool is moisture-wicking, this is a bit heavier of a blazer.

Cloudstyle Men’s One Button Daily Blazer
Contrasting and Effortless
Aptly called the ‘Daily Blazer’, this trendy yet classic coat kicks things up a notch yet still keeps it simple enough for an easy toss in the wash after wear.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do you properly measure blazers for men?
While it’s definitely recommended to get professionally measured, if you’re in a bind and need to order a blazer immediately, it is entirely possible to correctly measure yourself for a blazer. To start with, measure your chest just under your arms and across your shoulder blades. Don’t suck in, continue breathing, and hold the tape level. You want it to be an accurate measurement of your chest, or it’ll likely fit too tight and be incredibly uncomfortable and ill-fitting. Blazer sizes are equal to your chest size, so the inches measured here directly translate to the size you’ll need.
How do you properly wash a blazer?
Typically, dry-clean only is the way to go for washing your blazer. However, your blazer should come with a tag and washing instructions, so it’s best to follow instructions of your individual blazer. It’s possible to find a more casual blazer that allows for machine washing. Some more delicate fabric ones require hand-washing.
