Blazé Milano sizing confuses first-time buyers, and for good reason. The blazers are not labelled 6, 8, 10. They run 00, 0, I, II, III and IV. Here is how that ladder works and how the fit actually runs, so you buy the right size once.

The size ladder, translated

Blazé Milano uses its own tailoring scale across blazers, shirts, trousers and knitwear. As a guide, 00 sits around a UK 6, 0 around a UK 8, I around a UK 10, II around a UK 12, III around a UK 14 and IV around a UK 16. At Luxury Handbags we show this on a clean UK ladder so you can shop it the way you shop everything else.

The fit runs big, so size down

This is the part to remember. The blazers are cut for an oversized, boxy line with lightly padded shoulders. Blazé Milano itself recommends taking one size smaller than your usual for a more precise fit. If you want the relaxed, borrowed-from-the-boys look the brand is known for, take your normal size. If you want it sharper and closer, size down one.

Everyday versus Everynight

The two signature blazers fit differently. The Everyday is the slightly softer, more relaxed double-breasted style for daytime and tailoring. The Everynight is the sharper evening cut. Both share the boxy Blazé line, so the size-down rule holds for each. If you are between the two, the Everyday is the easier first Blazé to own.

Trousers, shirts and knitwear

The same 00 to IV scale runs across the rest of the collection. Trousers sit on the waist and hip rather than clinging, so go by your usual size and have the hem finished by a tailor. Shirts and the silk polos are cut for an easy tuck, not a tight one.
