Show me a man with no blazer in his wardrobe, and I will show you a man without swag. Blazers have become a wardrobe staple now more than ever, and are one fashion piece that can be worn with no stress at all. You know why? Blazers fit into all occasions- whether formal or casual. All you’ve got to do is wear them with the right ensemble. You can wear them in lieu of other outerwear, and even in unexpected ways. Try a trim cotton blazer over a long-sleeve shirt or fun tee with jeans, khakis or gray flannel trousers and some fun sneakers or a classic navy or black wool blazer with contrasting trousers. Quite simply, any variation of a blazer, sport coat or suit jacket makes you look put together, smart, stylish, and most of all, confident.
