Why Structured Work Jackets Matter

Author: Stylist at TellarDate: 2025

Structured jackets—blazers, tailored coats, suit jackets—are wardrobe heroes:

  • Professional polish: Defined shoulders and tapered waists create a refined silhouette ideal for work.

  • Versatility: Layer over shirts, knitwear, dresses—you’re ready for any occasion.

  • Durability: Typically made from suiting fabrics (wool, gabardine), they age gracefully.

However, a poorly fitting structured jacket can ruin the silhouette: tight shoulders cause pulling, long sleeves drown, and uneven hems distort your look. That’s why precise sizing is crucial.

2. Top Brands Offering Structured Excellence

2.1 COS

Known for minimalist tailoring with clean lines and scandi simplicity, COS jackets strike a balance between structure and modern style.

2.2 Reiss

British brand Reiss delivers sharp blazers and long coats with impeccable cuts and premium fabrics—perfect for polished office or evening attire.

2.3 Massimo Dutti

Offers classic, tailored jackets with high-quality materials and fine detailing—excellent value for smart-casual dressing.

2.4 The Frankie Shop

Edgy yet refined, with bold lapels and structured fits, suitable for both professional and fashion-forward styling.

2.5 Totême

Scandi-luxe meets structured tailoring—made to stand the test of time in both quality and timelessness.

Fit tip: Structured shoulders can’t stretch—accurate measurement here is vital to ensure a perfect frame.

3. The Fit Challenge: Why Size Guides Fail

  • Different sizing logic: UK 10 in COS may not match a 10 in Reiss or Massimo Dutti. One brand’s tailored fit is another’s cropped style.

  • Varying cuts: A blazer may be slim in one brand and relaxed in another—even within the same size label.

  • Generic charts don’t cut it: Many brands offer only broad size charts, leaving you to guess sleeve lengths, shoulder widths, and proportion.

That’s where Tellar.co.uk comes in—your sizing saviour.
