THREE BLAZER STYLES
EVERY MAN SHOULD OWN
Thanks to its versatility, a men’s blazer is a year-round staple of every modern gent’s wardrobe. These jackets can be dressed up or down, depending on the occasion, and provide a lightweight extra layer to help break a cool daytime breeze and cut the chill in the evenings. As such, they’re the perfect accompaniment to the constantly- changing temperatures in springtime, a season that’s already full of fashion opportunity. So update your spring wardrobe with these three blazer styles to create layered, trendy outfits throughout the months to come.
An Unstructured Blazer
Less rigid than a standard blazer or suit jacket, unstructured blazers are loose, comfortable, and feel more like a shirt. Cotton styles are practical for spring, as they are made of lighter, breathable material, which holds its shape. However, you shouldn’t worry too much about keeping your blazer pressed and pristine — an unstructured blazer looks best when it appears to be worn effortlessly.
The padding on these blazers is stripped back, and their relaxed fit over the shoulders make this the perfect jacket for informal-but-stylish looks. Stay stylish by switching your usual hoodie or sweatshirt for an unstructured blazer, worn over a classic, crew neck T-shirt. Add dark jeans or chinos and some fresh white trainers for a casual day-to- day outfit, or smarten your blazer up for evening drinks by pairing it with a neutral-coloured shirt, tailored trousers and a pair of suede derby shoes.
A Wool Blend Blazer
Perfect for transitioning between crisp mornings and warmer afternoons, a wool blend blazer is the answer to all your spring wardrobe woes. They are lighter and sleeker than a thick winter coat, especially when combined with fabrics like linen, cotton or silk. And as wool provides structure, thanks to its sturdy shape-retaining fibres, your jacket won’t succumb to any annoying, unsightly creases. A blazer like this is suitable as business-casual wear, so dress it up with a jersey shirt, tie and tailored trousers, then finish the look off with a silk pocket square. When it’s time to loosen up and leave the office, all you need to do is switch your jersey shirt for a polo, and you’re good to go.
An Patterned Blazer
Done well, a patterned blazer can spruce up an outfit nicely, and if you’re the kind of man who is brave enough to wear eye-catching prints, you’re sure to be the centre of attention of every room you walk into. This style is ideal for adding a splash of personality and colour to your outfit. For more traditional patterns, try checks, houndstooth, windowpane, or even a puppytooth blazer.
Wear with a neutral-coloured polo shirt in shades like beige, grey or navy, as well as a pair of jeans for smart- casual work looks. Or for a Sunday brunch, wear your blazer over a smart shirt and pair of light-coloured chinos, so it looks like you’ve made an effort to look good without seeming like you’ve tried too hard.
