These blazers are "shrunken", as Esquire calls them, or "big," as Thom Browne would call it (that's a joke....kind of. If you don't get it, read the Esquire article "The Man in the Tiny Suit") which is to say that they are very fitted, which is definitely the trend right now. Notice the sleeve length. The amount of cuff showing may be a bit too much for most people, or "fashion foward" to others. You want about 1/4 to 1/2 inch of white sleeve showing. Since the man in the picture is not sitting, he should have his jacket buttoned...learn from his mistakes!
