Why choose a check blazer?
The plaid blazer is a must-have in any woman's wardrobe. Both elegant and easy to wear, it adds character to any outfit while remaining sober and controlled. If you're looking for a piece that can enhance a simple silhouette, without ever overdoing it, this product ticks all the boxes. At La Redoute, we select numerous models to suit your desires and your everyday life. The check pattern has the advantage of structuring the silhouette. By playing with lines and contrasts, it adds a discreet relief that captures the eye with precision. Whether you opt for a discreet check or a more pronounced Prince-of-Gallery pattern, the result is always chic. It's also an excellent alternative to a simple plain jacket, especially if you often wear jeans or black. Another advantage: the plaid blazer is a very easy piece to combine. With raw denim jeans, slim black pants or a midi skirt, it adapts to any length of garment and any material. Its tailoring collar and elegant lapels reinforce its sophisticated lines. Finally, depending on the season, you can opt for materials such as wool, linen or cotton, allowing you to wear your blazer almost all year round. How to wear your plaid blazer every day?
A blazer can be worn with any outfit, from morning to night. For a professional look, wear it over a white shirt tucked into fluid, high-waisted pants. You can even add a thin belt to accentuate the waist, especially if your blazer has a straight cut. If you prefer a more casual look, pair it with a plain t-shirt and jeans. Sleeves slightly rolled up at the cuffs help break up the formal look, while keeping the allure. In autumn as in spring, a blazer can be worn as a lightweight jacket. Just remember to adjust the material according to the temperature. A wool blazer will keep you warm on chilly mornings, while a linen blazer will be more comfortable to wear in summer. Some models are also lined, which can add structure and support to the cut, whatever the time of day. When it comes to footwear, the plaid blazer lends itself equally well to white sneakers or heeled ankle boots. In the evening, dare to wear a simple black dress with a slightly oversized blazer laid over the shoulders: a strong, modern silhouette that's easy to put together. What counts is the balance of volumes and the harmony of colors. The check pattern is sufficiently expressive in itself for the rest of the outfit to remain uncluttered. Choosing the right plaid blazer for you
Finding the right blazer is above all a question of cut and proportion. If you have an A-line silhouette, choose slim-fitting models that emphasize the waist and balance the hips. A discreet collar and slim lapels won't weigh down your upper body. If you're broad-shouldered, opt for a flowing blazer that falls just below the buttocks: this lengthens the silhouette without widening it. For H-shaped shapes, a straight cut works very well. The important thing is to select the right size, so that the blazer doesn't mould the bust or hips too much. A slightly structured cut with a pronounced shoulder can also give a good look without unbalancing the ensemble. Avoid models that are too short if you're over 1.70 m tall: classic or long-length blazers will show you off to best advantage. Finally, if you have an X or figure-8 silhouette, you can have it all. A double-breasted, double-breasted or belted blazer will show off your waist. Think about wearing your blazer open for a more fluid effect, or closed for a more assertive line. Sleeves should fall just below the wrist, without protruding. A good blazer won't pull at the shoulders, won't sag at the bust, and should allow you to move without discomfort. At La Redoute, we offer a wide selection of women's plaid blazers, available in different sizes, cuts and materials. So you can find the one that best suits your style and your everyday life. All you have to do is choose... or adopt several, each for a specific moment of your day or week.
