What to Wear With a Men's Blazer Coat

Blazer for men

The versatility of the men's blazer makes it attractive. In this discussion, a blazer is referred to as a traditional, single-breasted, navy wool coat with brass buttons. It creates a timeless ensemble that, in the United States, falls just short of a suit on the formality scale when worn with grey flannel slacks, a white button-down oxford shirt, and a striped tie. The same jacket worn with chinos and a polo shirt during the weekend is a really put-together casual ensemble. We will go over several fundamental ways to wear a man's blazer jacket for both business and play in this article.

If you work in a business casual environment, the blazer offers you a straightforward solution to the challenging issue of dressing respectably without coming off as distant. The man who has the grace to drape a jacket over the suit appears unusual without standing out in a business where polo shirts and khakis are the norm. Gray flannels and a dress shirt with a button-down collar are also suitable companions for a blazer; dress it up with a tie. The outfit is slightly more formalised by a point collar shirt, and this is where one should stop. Heterogeneous collars should ideally only be worn with a suit, and even if the formality of French cuffs were not a concern, putting cufflinks next to brass sleeve buttons creates an unsettling contrast. Bluchers, loafers, and formal shoes with a monk strap are all suitable footwear choices.

The attire mentioned above is also a wise choice for a formal evening supper or an early morning religious service. The blazer will actually work well for the majority of weekend activities, including watching a play in most American cities and supporting a girls' softball team. Over an ecru turtleneck and your go-to grey flannels, it looks aristocratic and serious; for a more relaxed style in the summer, pair it with off-white slacks and a vibrant shirt.

While pairing a blazer with jeans is quite fine and can even look extremely trendy, one must be careful that the colours of the coat and the pants are not too similar. If it's not a suit, it shouldn't appear to be one from a distance for any jacket and pant combo.

As was previously said, a button-down oxford is the standard when it comes to dress shirts. In addition to solid colours, a blazer goes nicely with a wide range of stripes and checks, including those that would look garish with a suit. The latter's dark, solid fabric complements nearly everything, and the glossy buttons effectively balance the dramatic designs. Depending on the weather, either a turtleneck or a long-sleeved polo shirt for a more relaxed approach. The current silk t-shirt and the form-fitting knit shirt are best paired with a suit jacket because they tend to conflict with the blazer's rich history.

You should always wear a sweater underneath your blazer jacket when the weather is cooler. A cable-knit or argyle crew-neck will liven up the look if you're forgoing the tie. The V-neck that is worn with a tie can also be solid or have a pattern.

A word or two about neckwear and other accessories: the tie you wear with a blazer should match its sporty-dressy style. As well as knits made of silk or wool, woven silks with polka dots, bright stripes, and other simple designs do this admirably. On the few men who know exactly how and when to wear it, the bowtie with a white shirt and a blue blazer looks classy, but on the majority of men, it looks silly.

A pocket square that complements the rest of the ensemble, in addition to ties, offers a touch of style. It will also make sure that a blazer and white shirt don't resemble a prep school uniform for younger males. Follow the traditional advice when choosing belts: match metal and leather. That implies wearing black with black shoes and wearing brown with brown shoes, though it can be a different shade of brown. To match the buttons, the buckle should be brass.

As you can see, there are countless ways to wear a blazer. The number of options a man has when getting dressed each morning nearly doubles, making it the best purchase he can make in his wardrobe. It will always be in style and be of great service in a variety of circumstances.
