Suit Jackets & Blazers

A suit jacket is made to match its trousers in the same fabric and is worn as a set, while a blazer is a standalone jacket designed to pair with chinos or different trousers. Blazers are more casual and versatile. Connor offers both suit jackets and separate blazers across its range.

You can wear a tailored blazer or odd jacket with dark, clean jeans for smart-casual, but avoid a matching suit jacket, which looks incomplete without its trousers. Choose a textured blazer in navy or grey and add a shirt and smart shoes. Connor's blazers are cut to pair well with denim.

A blazer should sit flat across the shoulders with seams ending at your shoulder edge, close at the chest without pulling, and show a little shirt cuff. The length should cover your seat, and the sleeves should end at the wrist bone. Connor offers blazers in slim and classic fits.

Navy is the most versatile blazer colour, pairing with chinos, jeans and dress trousers for work or events. Grey is a strong second choice, while textured options like tweed add seasonal interest. Start with navy for maximum wear. Connor stocks blazers in core colours and seasonal fabrics across its suiting range.

Under a blazer, a dress shirt suits smart settings, a fine-knit jumper or polo works for smart-casual, and a quality plain tee dresses it down further. Match the layer to the occasion and keep colours coordinated. Connor's shirts, knitwear and tees are designed to layer neatly under its blazers.
