Checked blazers have made a comeback several times over the years. Nowadays, it seems to have conquered a permanent place in many office outfits. However, many men find it a challenge to stylishly combine a checked blazer. This does not have to be the case.

How do you combine a blazer with a check?

Every check says something about you and makes it personal, because that's what you're going to radiate when you wear your blazer. Here are the most used types of check at a glance:

• Tartan
  The Scottish check is recognizable by the harmonious transition of stripes and woven threads that blend into each other and create a unique colorful check. With a blazer with Scottish check, you radiate status and harmony.
• Pied-de-poule
  This pattern is characterized by its breakage. Unlike other patterns, this is a rectangular pattern which reminds us of the paw print of a rooster. If you choose a blazer with pied-de-poule pattern, you choose a business casual look.
  Glencheck
  This is the most popular pattern of this time. It owes its origin to Loch Ness in the Scottish Highlands. This pattern is characterized by the merger of different sizes of intersecting lines that form a completely colorful square. With a blazer with Glencheck check, you wear a modern and versatile check that you can easily combine for every occasion.
• Block check
  This is an almost graphic pattern that fits with our digital world. With a block check, you radiate a strong, modern and refined look.

Combining large checks

When you wear a blazer with a large check, you make a statement. It is always more noticeable than a blazer with a smaller check. That's why it's important to adjust the rest of your outfit to the blazer. Consider a tartan check or block check. So it is wise to keep your shirt and matching trousers sober when it comes to color, prints and designs. Match the colors based on the colors that are present in the checked blazer. This gives a calm effect and that's handy when you have an important appointment!.

Combining small checks

A blazer with a small check is certainly a striking must-have for every occasion. A quintessential office look is a blazer with a small check and a white shirt. You're always safe if you adjust the rest of your outfit to the colors of the blazer. You look at the colors that are incorporated in your checked blazer, based on that you choose the colors of the rest of your outfit. This way your look always appears harmonious. If you find a blazer to come across too old-fashioned too quickly, then it's an option to opt for a modern Slim-Fit blazer. This tailored blazer makes a check more dynamic and playful, this creates a modern look with a classic check.

Which material?

A wool blazer is the most classic variant. Different types of wool can add different accents to your checked blazer. Finer variants of wool (smooth wool) often radiate an elegant look as opposed to rougher variants (tweed). In principle, we can say that the rougher the wool, the more casual your outfit will look. A blend of wool with other fabrics adds more comfort and color retention. A blazer made of jersey fabric is the most comfortable blazer to wear. If you are not used to wearing a blazer with a check, a jersey blazer is a good variant to start with. Jersey fabric often gives you the feeling of a men's cardigan thanks to its mobility and comfortable fit.
