Nomi’s blazer in No Time To Die is cut in orange linen with a boxy double-breasted front. The Blazé Milano Midday Sun blazer is a jacket that expects to be noticed and carries it without fuss. We think it makes the case for wearing one strong colour and letting everything else stay quiet.
In the film
Lashana Lynch’s Nomi wears the blazer in No Time To Die (2021), glimpsed in the trailer with its Smiley pocket just visible, and over a Rejina Pyo top in scenes inside an MI6 building. Around it she wears khaki trousers, a double leather belt and her Omega Seamaster 300M on a NATO strap. More of the film’s wardrobe is gathered on our No Time To Die page.
The details of the Blazé Milano Midday Sun blazer
Linen, made in Italy. The jacket is cut from linen, which is why it breathes in a warm room and creases the moment you sit down. It is fully lined and made in Italy.
Padded shoulders. The shoulder pads hold up the boxy silhouette. The result is a jacket that hangs from the shoulder rather than clinging to the body, and it sits well over a fine knit or a plain jersey top.
Peak lapels and a double-breasted front. Peak lapels give the jacket a formal, tailored line, while the linen keeps it relaxed. Glossy buttons fasten the front.
The Smiley pockets. These are the signature of Blazé Milano, and the one detail that marks the jacket out from across a room. There are four more pockets inside, which is useful for a passport and a phone.
Wearing it now
The lesson is restraint around the colour. Khaki, stone or tobacco trousers, a plain top and a simple belt let the jacket do the talking. We would wear it open, with the sleeves pushed up once or twice, rather than buttoned and formal. Linen suits that kind of ease.
Which colour? The orange is no longer available new, as far as we can find, while the model continues in other colours. If you cannot find the orange, we would choose one of the quieter colours over the brightest: it keeps the cut and the pockets, and it goes with more of what you already own. If you do want the film’s orange, look for pre-owned examples and check provenance and condition carefully.
Care. The retailer listing recommends dry cleaning. Hang it as soon as you take it off and let the creases fall out; some will stay, and that is the nature of linen.

Questions
Is this the blazer Nomi wears in No Time To Die?
Yes. Our sources identify it as the Blazé Milano Midday Sun double-breasted linen blazer in orange, worn by Lashana Lynch’s Nomi.
Is the orange Midday Sun blazer still available?
Not new, as far as we can find. The orange has been withdrawn, but the Midday Sun cut has been listed in other colours at retailers, so check current stock before you decide.
What does Nomi wear with the blazer?
She wears it over a Rejina Pyo top with khaki trousers, a double leather belt and an Omega Seamaster 300M on a NATO strap.
How do you wear a linen blazer without it looking crumpled?
Accept some creasing: it is part of the look. Hang it up after wearing, steam rather than press if you must, and pair it with plain, well-pressed trousers so the jacket is the only relaxed thing in the outfit.
