Men's blazers in a cage: what are they and what to wear?

Men's blazers in a cage are a topical wardrobe item, however, not everyone dares to purchase it. A jacket in a large and small cage looks quite impressive, practical and stylish. Men need to be able to wear a checkered jacket, combine it correctly so that the image is not ridiculous. Plaid is a catchy print that allows you to combine different shades: yellow, green, blue, red. It is very important to correctly select the details of the ensemble, then it will look elegant and expressive.

The best plaid jackets are made from wool with or without other fibers. Fabrics made in Australia, Belgium, Italy, England, Scotland are highly valued. Pure wool is a textured but rather expensive material. More budgetary, but fairly high-quality fabrics that are used in sewing:

• cashmere;
• linen and cotton;
• polyester;
• tight knitwear;
• combined compositions: silk, lycra, viscose, mohair, polyester with wool, various combinations with cashmere.

The pattern of the cell type is quite diverse, such a print has the following main types:

• "Esterhazy" - a hit among such drawings, it is considered traditional, perfect for office work, business image;
• "Glen" - a combination of black and gray lines, an ornament of the classic type, appropriate for business ensembles;
• "Tartan" or Scottish plaid is a rather recognizable ornament, most often jackets are sewn from such fabric in a casual, free style;
• "Winter" cage is used for sewing insulated jackets;
• "Gingham" - this print is most often used to create clothing in the style of sports, sport chic, casual;
• large type - a rather unusual option, club jackets, sports models are sewn from such material;
• Houndstooth is a very popular type of cage, mainly used to create tweed jackets.

This wardrobe item, subject to a successful choice of colors and models, will be harmonious both in an everyday look and in a strict business one. Provided, of course, that there are no strict dress code restrictions. Such a jacket is perfect for informal events: corporate events, dinners with colleagues, going to the theater. It is best to stick to neutral type palettes in such cases:

• brown;
• beige;
• olive;
• gray.

For a date or meeting with friends, you can choose brighter original colors.

Stylists believe that insecure people are better off abandoning such prints, since it takes a fair amount of courage to wear them. Besides, it is very important to combine the checkered jacket correctly, because this element of the image is rather “capricious”.

Be sure to take into account the style of the thing, choosing details for it. In a casual ensemble, a single-breasted jacket in combination with a monochrome shirt, turtleneck and pullover will be appropriate. A bow tie, scarf, tie and traditional trousers will fit well in this look.

A classic tweed jacket looks good in tandem with ocher or gray trousers, a monochrome shirt, although a striped print is also acceptable. Discard the flashy tie. So you can go not only to a meeting with serious people, to the office, but also to go out of town.

If you choose a large check, be prepared that all the attention will be paid to you, this is a very catchy print. Such a thing will be well complemented by a plain light shirt.

If the jacket is shortened, then the trousers should have the same feature. This model looks good with jeans.

The checkered jacket is perfectly combined not only with classic trousers, jeans, but also with linen options. It is better to choose monochrome variations of jeans in black, dark blue. Linen trousers can be of different shades. In this way, a shirt will perfectly replace a T-shirt. A cotton jumper is another elegant replacement for a shirt in summer.

The main recommendation of stylists regarding plaid jackets is moderation.

This is especially true for bright cells: yellow, green, blue, red. Here it is necessary to muffle the ensemble with calm tones, otherwise the image will be flashy, vulgar. Colorful things drown out all the charm of a checkered print. Solid color wardrobe items are the best tandem variations.

If you are combining several tartan items, remember the main point - the further from the body of the item, the larger the checker should be. For example, a print on a shirt is smaller than a jacket.

Another serious criterion is the type of cell.

For example, a tartan jacket should be the accent of the look in the singular. Variants of plain jackets decorated with plaid inserts as lapels and patches are very popular. Such models are suitable for those who do not yet risk trying to wear a cage.

Those who prefer restrained images should take a closer look at a small cage of a not too contrasting type. Such a jacket will be both expressive and elegant at the same time. It is best to opt for cool shades, they are more neutral.

Choosing a jacket, focus on the following points:

• to make the small cage more noticeable, supplement it with things of excellent colors, red, blue, brown, mustard will become a favorable background;
• the black and white version is quite expressive and effective, it should be worn by those who want to be the center of attention, it is well combined with gray, black;
• double-breasted jackets will visually increase your dimensions, they are combined with denim trousers, dress pants, T-shirts and shirts;
• jackets with patches are a hit of recent seasons, and checkered jackets with monochromatic patches and monochrome ones with checkered ones look great;
• if you don't know how to complement such a jacket, combine it with classic things;
• the best friends of a plaid jacket are plain trousers and a shirt;
• an image with such a wardrobe item can be decorated with bright-colored shoes, a tie, a scarf or a scarf.
