This Bourgeois Jacket Feels Very 2024

A great blazer is a closet essential and workhorse piece that deserves a spot in every wardrobe. While proportions and styles continue to evolve season after season—sometimes oversize with logo prints, other times more shrunken in solid neutrals—a classic, sharply tailored version in a plaid print is a version that transcends the trend cycle. In 2024, we’ve specifically been seeing the return of timeless checked styles that look like they could have been plucked out of the wardrobe of a 1980’s-era woman dressed in Celine on the Left Bank of Paris. In a word: bourgeois.

These bourgeois blazers also made a return to present-day Celine in the spring/summer 2025 collection by Hedi Slimane—his final collection for the French fashion house. He presented plaid blazers in a range of prints including small checks and houndstooth, styled with pleated knee-length skirts, slingback heels, and neck scarves. This bourgeois approach to fashion feels very 2024 and is only set to grow as we head into 2025. Ahead, the best plaid blazers to tap into the look.
