Kavajkavajklädsel

Kavajkavajklädsel is a fashion term used to describe an outfit whose defining element is the blazer (kavaj). The word blends "kavaj" and "klädsel" (clothing) and is part of contemporary Swedish fashion discourse. The coinage is used to denote a blazer‑centric wardrobe that experiments with layering or repeated blazer motifs, rather than a conventional single‑piece suit.

Typical characteristics include a clean, tailored silhouette, neutral or tonal color schemes, and minimal accessories. The look often features a primary blazer worn over a simple shirt or knit, sometimes complemented by a second blazer or layered lapels to create depth. Fabrics range from wool suiting to crepe; shoulders are structured and hems precise. Footwear ranges from loafers or derbies to clean sneakers, depending on context.

Variants include monochrome versions that use different textures of the same color and dual‑blazer combinations with contrasting colors. The style aligns with broader tailoring trends that elevate the blazer beyond a traditional suit while maintaining a restrained, architectural aesthetic.

Origin and usage: The term surfaces in fashion journalism and street style in the late 2010s and 2020s, with notable presence in Scandinavian fashion commentary. It reflects a broader interest in blazer‑centered wardrobes and versatility across semi‑formal to smart‑casual settings.
