The Frankie Shop Bea Blazer: Fit, Sizing and Colours 2026

The Frankie Shop Bea Blazer is the label’s best-known jacket: an oversized, boxy blazer with peak lapels, made in South Korea. It comes in sizes XXS to XL. Marie Claire UK named it a bestseller in July 2020, and Coveti stocks it in chocolate and dark espresso.

Below you will find what the Bea is, how it fits, a size conversion chart, the colours on Coveti and how it compares with the Gelso and the new Ivora, Newark and Xena blazers. All prices are Coveti prices in USD.

What is the Frankie Shop Bea Blazer?

The Bea is an oversized, boxy blazer with peak lapels, and it has defined The Frankie Shop for years.

The New York label was founded in 2014 according to Grazia and FashionUnited, with its Lower East Side doors opening in 2015 by the brand’s own account. FashionUnited names the oversized blazer as one of its founding pieces, alongside the tailored trouser and the oxford shirt. The brand says it “became synonymous with smart, oversized suiting”, and in July 2020 Marie Claire UK reported that “the Eva tee and Bea blazer are bestsellers”. Our profile of who is The Frankie Shop covers founder Gaelle Drevet and the rest of the story.

The brand lists these details for the Bea:

• Fit: oversized fit, boxy silhouette
• Lapels: peak lapels
• Made in: South Korea
• Sizes: XXS to XL

How does the Bea Blazer fit?

The Bea is cut oversized on purpose, so it should look roomy through the body.

The brand’s model note is the most useful reference: the model is 179cm (5 ft 10) and wears size S. On a tall frame, a small gives the intended slouchy shape. The boxy silhouette means the blazer hangs straight from the shoulder rather than nipping in at the waist.

The brand gives no general advice to size down. Some retailers suggest it for the Bea if you want a closer fit, but if you want the look the brand photographs, take your usual size. Check the size guide on each Coveti product page, and contact Coveti if you would like help choosing.

What size Bea Blazer should I buy?

Start with your usual letter size and use the brand’s conversion chart below.

Italian sizes on the same chart run from IT 38 to IT 46 across XS to XL. The Bea also comes in XXS, which sits below the XS row. For every Frankie Shop chart in one place, including paired sizes such as XS/S and M/L, see our Frankie Shop size guide.

What colours does the Bea Blazer come in on Coveti?

Coveti currently stocks the Bea Blazer in two brown shades, each with matching suit trousers.

Chocolate is the warmer of the two and works with cream, camel and denim. Dark espresso sits closer to black, so it is the better choice for evening and for the office. Buy the blazer and trousers in the same shade to wear them as a suit, then split them across the week.

Bea Blazer vs Gelso Oversized Blazer: which is better?

The Bea is the boxier classic; the Gelso is the softer oversized alternative with its own matching trouser.

On Coveti you will find the Gelso Oversized Blazer in Light Taupe Melange ($740). The Gelso has its own matching trousers, the Gelso Pleated Twill Trousers; Coveti stocks the Gelso Pleated Twill Trousers in Black ($450) along with white and brown.

If you want one oversized blazer to wear daily, the Bea is the original. If you already own a Bea, the Gelso in a light melange gives you a second, softer colour. For more oversized shapes, the Frankie Oversized Boyfriend Blazer in Black ($480) is another option.

How does the Bea compare with the new Ivora, Newark and Xena blazers?

The three new blazers for autumn 2026 each do something the Bea does not: short sleeves, double-breasted pinstripe and a cotton blend.

The Ivora Short Sleeve Blazer in Black works over a long-sleeve knit and also comes in dark grey. The Newark Double Breasted Blazer in Grey and White Pinstripe joins the Newark styles already on Coveti, such as the Newark Flannel Double Breasted Blazer in Grey Melange ($630). The Xena Blazer in Navy is the most office-ready of the three.

Is the Frankie Shop Bea Blazer worth it?

For anyone who wears tailoring most days, yes: it is the style the label built its name on.

The Frankie Shop prices its tailoring at the contemporary end of designer pricing, well below the big luxury houses. Plenty of labels now make an oversized blazer, but the Bea is the one Marie Claire UK singled out as a bestseller in 2020.

Value also depends on how often you will reach for it. A blazer that works with suit trousers on Monday, jeans on Saturday and over a dress in the evening earns its price quickly. The Bea Blazer in Dark Espresso, currently listed on Coveti at $277, is the lowest-priced way into the style.

How do you style the Bea Blazer?

Wear it open, with something straight and simple underneath, and let the shoulders do the work.

• As a suit: Bea Blazer and Bea Suit Pants in the same shade, a white tee and loafers.
• With denim: the Bea over straight jeans and a crisp shirt. See Frankie Shop trousers and jeans for the base.
• Belted: a slim belt over the blazer, such as the new Jessie Leather Belt in Black ($240), made in Italy, pulls the boxy shape in at the waist.
• Under a coat: the Bea sits under an oversized coat; see our Frankie Shop coat guide.
