A key piece for any stylish man’s wardrobe, although typically considered as formal wear, the great thing about a blazer is its versatility. Whether you wear your blazer over a shirt and tie, or over a t-shirt, it’s the perfect answer to pull any outfit together. Below we give our suggestions on how to wear a blazer and look fantastic.
Whatever color or style your blazer, you’re sure to find an oxford shirt to go with it for just about any occasion. Pair a black blazer with a blue oxford shirt for a classic, fashionable look, or why not be daring and pair a black striped blazer with a white and red striped oxford shirt. These combinations are sure to leave you feeling powerful and confident, creating a classic and refined silhouette.
Looking for a neat, stylish look? Pairing a black blazer with your best pair of slacks is guaranteed to create a head-turning outfit. One of our favorite casual looks is a black blazer and eggshell taupe slacks paired with tobacco suede boat shoes. Alternatively, go for black on black, smartening up your outfit with black leather oxford shoes. We’re also a big fan of olive green slacks for a day at the office. Shop:
If you’re going for a more sporty look, opting for a polo shirt and blazer allows you to remain stylish while keeping casual. Of course, you need to be careful which polo shirt you use. Choosing a polo shirt with wide rugby stripes would be a strange pairing with a classic blazer. Instead, opt for block colors and subtle stripes. Boat shoes and a pair of blue or black jeans complete the polo shirt-blazer combo.
As we touched on above, wearing a blazer with a nice pair of jeans is a great way to dress up a casual outfit. The black blazer and black jeans pairing is a look you can feel confident in, wherever you are. Throw on a plain white t-shirt, or add a pop of color to brighten your outfit up. The great thing about a black blazer is that it goes with everything. Pair with some white low top sneakers for a stylish daytime look.
Distinctly chic but casual enough for any day, if you’re wearing your blazer with a t-shirt, v-neck is usually the best option since it looks better with the lapel of a blazer than a crew neck. A few things to remember to keep your outfit looking stylish: ensure your blazer and t-shirt both trace your silhouette and if you want to include detail, keep it small and subtle.
