Is This The Best Menswear Look Of 2026?
If there is one menswear look consistently cropping up on our Instagram feeds this season, it’s the classic blazer and jeans combo. While nothing new, it can look undeniably cool – especially with a tie thrown into the mix. But it can also go horribly wrong, fast (Simon Cowell comes to mind). So, here’s how to work it for 2026, courtesy of some of our favourite Instagrammers.
Look 1
While it’s all business up top, the relaxed-leg denim gives the look a laid-back, daytime feel. We’d also throw in an unexpected pop of red with a great pair of socks.

Look 2
Adding a baseball cap immediately shifts this look from business-casual to a fun weekend vibe. Stick to three primary colours – navy, red, and blue denim – to keep everything cohesive.

Look 3
We love the lighter palette of this blazer-jeans-tie combo from London-based model Richard Biedul. The double-breasted jacket lends a retro feel, while slip-on mules keep the whole look effortlessly relaxed.

Look 4
Kenny’s look is a masterclass in playing with proportions. While classic on paper, the sharp, exaggerated shoulder on the blazer, relaxed-fit denim, and playful accessories give the look an avant-garde feel.
