We love a sharp, slim fit blazer, especially when it's cued by the '70s. A fine case in point on the current fashion market? This style by Tom Ford. Cut to a slimming fit from a smooth wool and silk blend, the standout flamboyant feature is its peak lapels, large and billowing to inject just the right amount of pizazz to the top of your frame. Complete with perfectly roped shoulders and an additional ticket pocket towards the base, it’s nothing short of wool blazer excellence.
