In recent years, the oversized version has dominated, the one that street style photos of Hailey Bieber and Elsa Hosk convinced us to buy. And now? How do we wear it?

Although easy to wear and versatile in styling, oversized blazers hide a trap: They can very easily look sloppy and unflattering on us. As stylish as their boxy fit may look on a celebrity, it can look just as "funny" on us without the right styling.

See below how you can wear it so that you look like a fashionista and not like you borrowed clothes from your grandpa's closet:

Do proper styling

If you don't want your oversized blazer to "swallow" you, you need to "play" with proportions. To maintain balance in your outfit, make sure one of the pieces in your look is fitted. For example, you can choose a slim-fit shirt or a skin-tight crop top to wear under the blazer and combine it with equally wide pants. Alternatively, keep the clothes on the upper part loose and opt for slimmer pants. In any case, there should be at least one fitted piece in your outfit so that your silhouette can be distinguished.

Choose a good quality blazer

In order for your oversized blazer to look elegant and not sloppy, choose a piece with high-quality fabric, which will not only ensure the durability of the garment but also its good fit.

From Oversized to Boxy: The New Silhouette of the Tweed Blazer

If in previous years you chose oversized blazers that "hid" your body, in spring 2026, Tweed invites you to bring structure back to your wardrobe. The new trend wants your blazer to be boxy and slightly cropped.

You will keep the comfort in the shoulders (inspired by the iconic 80s), but you will prefer a length that stops right at your hips or waist. This change is no coincidence: the shorter and more square cut of the Tweed blazer is the ideal companion for your high-waisted trousers, Bermuda shorts, and A-line skirts, creating a harmonious silhouette that will flatter you no matter your height.

Styling Tip: If you want to make use of a longer or oversized blazer you already own, adding a leather belt at the waist will instantly transform it, giving it the necessary "shape" defined by this season's trends.
