A chameleon of smart casual<\/a> dressing, a blazer is an essential piece of sartorial kit for men. It delivers a refined look that makes it a great choice for a mix of different dress codes, from your date night to a relaxed work vibe. Picking a more casual style will only expand your options further. This might mean losing some of the blazer's tailored aesthetic, but the result will be a key piece for spring, summer and beyond. In this article, we'll explore what a blazer<\/a> is, the different types and materials available, and offer tips on how to wear and style this versatile item.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A blazer is a type of jacket with a rich history and has evolved over time to become a staple in many wardrobes today. Cast aside thoughts of splitting your suit and wearing the suit<\/a> jacket independently. The blazer is clothing in its own right. Originally, rowing club members wore blazers in England in the 1800s. These jackets were made from heavy wool and featured bold stripes in the club's colours, and were worn with complimenting (not matching) trousers. Hence the difference with a suit jacket.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Over time, blazers became more popular outside of the rowing community and started to take on different styles and materials. Today, blazers come in various colours, patterns, and materials, making them a lynchpin of smart casual outfits.<\/p>\n\n\n\nWhat is a Blazer?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
