2010s blazer: the cheesy piece becomes the fashion must-have at the start of the year

The blazer from our closets is making a comeback. According to many stylists, the 2010s piece has never been so current. So you can bet on this wardrobe staple without fear of the disguise effect.

Why the return of a 2010s classic

Fashion turns, then sorts. What’s more, looks change over time, and the blazer makes sense again. Grazia points to this revival as a simple signal: the piece ticks off style, comfort and price.

The networks have rekindled interest, because they love archives. The eye is also becoming accustomed to cuts considered dated yesterday. The blazer’s clean structure and versatility are making it popular again.

Brands are bringing out similar lines in softer versions. Yet many are already finding treasures at home. The closet blazer avoids unnecessary purchases, and reduces textile impact.

“The right piece doesn’t disappear: it waits for the right look.”

Winning cuts, materials and colors

The slightly fitted cut works from morning to night. This way, a sharp but supple shoulder keeps the look stable. The blazer really shines when the line follows your back without constricting it.

When it comes to materials, cold wool remains reliable almost all year round. On the other hand, a wool-viscose blend brings fall and softness. The blazer gains in strength with a fairly dense 230-260 g fabric.

• Check the shoulders: they should hug the bone without protruding.
• Test the closure: a button closes without pulling fabric.
• Observe the length: the base reaches the middle of the hand.
• Look at the lining: clean seams stand the test of time.
• Stretch the back slit slightly: it should not yawn.

How to adopt it in the office and at weekends

When it comes to work, you need to anchor your style. Dark pants, a poplin shirt and a blazer create a secure base. Add a slim belt, then a pair of crisp loafers.

Le Tanneur – Emilie is an easy choice for this wardrobe: its rectangular bag, metal “T” charm and metal runners create a framed look.
Now designed for winter 2025, it structures the silhouette; in short, it stabilizes lines and volumes.

At weekends, you can renew your codes effortlessly. A white T-shirt, straight jeans and your blazer are all you need. A clean sneaker keeps things modern and light.

Buying old or new, with common sense

Search your belongings first, as you may have the right base. Then look at the local second hand to limit the footprint. Blazers tolerate weathering well, especially after a good pressing.

If you’re going for new, target the real need. Also, invest in clean seams and partial interlining. The blazer will last longer, and you’ll enjoy wearing it more often.

Details that make all the difference, according to Grazia and the pros

The rolled-up sleeves reveal a striped lining: a nod to 2010. This gesture breaks the rigidity of tailoring. The blazer gains a lively touch, without becoming a suit.

Colors work through measured contrasts. On the other hand, a bright tone is balanced by sober bases. The coral-colored blazer, worn with raw denim jeans, remains surprisingly easy.

Buttons influence style, and quickly. Also, a double-breasted version imposes more presence. The straight one-button blazer remains more flexible for everyday wear.

Quick adjustments at home

Raise the sleeve a centimetre to slim the wrist. The watch breathes and the visual balance improves. The blazer instantly looks more up-to-date and lighter.

Change the knobs to modernize the room in 10 minutes. Brushed brass can also be used to replace tired plastic. The blazer regains its value at a very low cost.

Maintain, store and extend part life

Air the jacket for 24 hours on a wide hanger. A soft brush also removes dust and lint. The blazer retains its shape, reducing the need for dry-cleaning.

Store it in a canvas cover, never a plastic one. This allows the fiber to breathe and prevents musty odors. Blazers are better able to withstand seasonal variations in humidity.

Anticipate wear and tear of underarm linings. On the other hand, a simple, early repair will prevent tears. The blazer will then follow you for several seasons in a row, without drama.
