Drop the shoulder pads and a blazer becomes something you might actually live in — a cardigan’s ease with a tailor’s line.
What Unstructured Really Means
It means a canvas that is light or absent, sleeves that follow the arm, and a lapel that rolls rather than snaps to attention. Oatmeal wool, washed cotton, even heavy linen in summer. The jacket should crumple slightly when you sit and recover when you stand.
Wear it open over a knit, or closed with nothing but a fine tee. The point is not to impersonate an office; it is to borrow the dignity of tailoring for a life that includes markets, trains, and long lunches.
