What to wear with a men's blazer

Not everyone is familiar with the foreign word “blazer”, which is most often found in everyday life among women, although many men already wear blazers, or are still looking at this type of clothing, not understanding how to approach it. In fact, a blazer is a regular jacket that does not have matching trousers. The bonus of this jacket is that it looks great both in an official look and in a regular, everyday look. But, of course, to look stylish, you need to understand what to wear it with correctly.

Men's blazer: what to combine with

There are many stories about the appearance of this type of clothing in our wardrobe. One thing is certain - men were “equipped” with blazers back in the last century. Of course, during this period the jacket was changed and supplemented even today has the following distinctive features:

• Doesn’t have a “pair” of matching trousers, like in suits.
• Can be used in any “look” - from formal evening to casual.
• Allows completely different colors.
• Often equipped with large shiny buttons.
• May have patch pockets.

As is obvious, a blazer is a universal thing, but with a share of the subtle taste of its owner. And in order not to dispel this image, it is worth learning how to correctly combine a jacket with other clothes.

What clothes to wear with a blazer

The most common men's blazer is a dark blue jacket made of thick fabric with large buttons. This evokes nautical motifs and encourages combination with a regular white T-shirt. However, you can combine it in another way:

• With formal dress shirts, it’s elegant and not too dry.
• With polo shirts, the peeking out strict collar will “sing along” with the jacket, but at the same time the image will be a little “relaxed”.
• With a sweater is a great option for cold weather, but you should choose thin sweaters and not too bright colors.
• With jeans - they are literally made for this look. This jacket will go well with almost any type of jeans.
• With chino trousers - perhaps the most ideal combination option.
• With shorts.
• In several layers - it is permissible to wear a shirt, a sweater over it, and complete the entire outfit with a jacket.

ATTENTION! If classic trousers are selected for the image, it is better to avoid trousers that match the blazer or black ones.

Color combinations

The color of the blazer should influence the rest of the colors of the outfit. For example, it is better to choose shirts or T-shirts that are lighter than the jacket itself. You should not combine a lot of prints, checks, stripes - the jacket itself carries a subtle accent, and there is no need to “dilute” it.

The most popular color for a blazer is blue, and here's how to successfully combine this color with others:

• Shirts or polos in light, light colors - from white to blue, pink.
• Sweaters in gray, olive, light green colors.
• Light trousers - white, gray, beige - perfectly emphasize a hint of nautical style.
• Brown trousers with a blue jacket are an amazing combination.
• Burgundy chinos.

For a black jacket, all of the listed shades will be suitable, but here you can also add blue colors that will not “blend” with the top.

IMPORTANT! The trousers should not blend in with the color of the jacket, otherwise it will create the feeling of a solid suit.

Blazer Shoes and Accessories

The right shoes to go with such an ambiguous type of clothing are extremely important. A departure from a strict and dry style should not be spoiled by inappropriate shoes, and the easy look of a dude cannot be ruined by sneakers.

So, ideal for:

• Oxfords and derby shoes will complement your business look.
• Monks and boots with a decorative fastener and without a zipper will successfully complement a blazer in cool weather. It is better to choose brown colors.
• Chelsea boots.
• Moccasins are a great addition to your everyday look.
• Loafers.

With a subtle hint of lightness, this jacket allows for playful accessories. You can choose a bright pocket square, an unusual neckerchief, a boutonniere, a playful bow tie, or a polka dot tie. The accessory should resonate with one of the tones in the outfit - and then a stylish, slightly daring and always up-to-date image will become a calling card.
