All about men’s blazers

Blazers are an important part of the wardrobe of every man and in case you don’t have some of them already, you should really be going to get yourself one or more. Although blazers often get mistaken for jackets, the two are different garments and should not be referred to interchangeably. Now, a little bit of history. Blazers were the choice of the style specialists as a fashionable odd jacket back in the 1938. The blazer was originally a garment which was used by the English cricket club and was often in club colors and striped. Over time, however, the look of the blazers started to evolve and include a club badge located on the breast pocket, single breasted models and double breasted ones and brass buttons. Blazers come in many different styles and their detail options vary from patch or flap pockets to notch or peak lapels. Blazers are pretty easy to dress down, definitely easier than the sports jackets and depending on your taste, choice and type of pants that you will put on you will have an easy time making yourself look great.

But enough for the history, let’s see some of the different types of blazers for men:

- Nautical blazers – this type of blazers are generally decorated with brass buttons and are navy-colored. They were dominant during the 20s and continue to be part of the fashion even nowadays as they are great for a stylish sports outfit when combined with white pants. The nautical blazers are made of a fabric that is pretty lightweight and due to that they are a desired item for the summer.

- Colored blazers – the name of the blazers comes out of the fact that they actually are ‘blazed’ with bolder patterns and a lot more color than the sports jacket. Blazers are no longer striped only – nowadays you can see them in a variety of colors that are really bright, such as purple or powder blue. Colored blazers make their way to men’s wardrobes that contain weekend wear and are really hard to be stopped.

- Leather blazers – the leather blazers simply are the latest fashion around. They not only make a cool statement about your style but will also keep you warm during the cold winter nights. There is a variety of leather blazers for men and they fit perfectly the people who work in the police force, army and navy. Just pair them with even or denim jeans and the spotlight surely is going to be on you with these fashionable garments.

The blazers, however, are still something like an old fashion trend and you should keep in mind some things when thinking about wearing one. Firstly, if you decide to wear a blazer, be sure that your breast pocket is bare. Put badges on it only for club purposes. Secondly, the blazers that are single breasted are really versatile and you can wear them dressed up with trousers or dressed down. Lastly, keep in mind that the double breasted blazers are usually worn by older men and you wouldn’t want to try them out.
