The oversized blazer, the new second skin

Sharp shoulders, fluid trousers, nothing underneath but a cotton tank: the blazer has left the office and has no plans to go back.

Some clothes get borrowed and never returned. The oversized blazer is one of them: too big on purpose, never by accident.

Where the cut comes from

We owe it to a decade that feared nothing: the 1980s, their shoulder pads, their appetite for volume. The difference today is in the fabric. Where they once stiffened, we now let it fall.

Real luxury isn't a fitted cut. It's the room you leave yourself inside it.

How to wear it without drowning in it

Only one volume at a time. Loose jacket, then close-fitting bottoms. Wide trousers, then a fitted top. The imbalance is what makes the whole thing legible.

The one piece that changes everything

A thin belt, worn straight over the jacket. It redraws a waist and turns the whole outfit from borrowed to considered.
