Previously we have talked about men’s different types of jackets. Now we’ll discuss about the Blazers. As I mentioned in one my previous article that, we all make the common mistake between Blazers and Jackets and now it will be much clear as we talk about the Blazers.

Looking back in the history, in 1938 blazers was the fashionable odd jacket of choice for style specialists. Originally a part of the English cricket club outlook, the blazer was often striped and in club colors. This look eventually changed to include brass buttons, single and double-breasted models, and a club badge on the breast pocket. Blazers are presented with variety of styles with different detail options, thing like flap or patch pockets and peak or notch lapels. Depending on your choice, taste and what kind of pants you put on; blazers are easy to dress down then sports jackets.

Now let’s move on from history and explore in the different kinds of blazers,

Nautical Blazers
The Nautical blazers are generally navy-colored decorated with brass buttons were predominant throughout the 1920s. They create a stylish sports outfit when paired with white pants. As these types of blazers contain lightweight fabric, the Nautical Blazers were summer fashion sensation.

Now, the big thanks should be given to the British fashion wave by the Americans because South Americans finds the traditional nautical blazer still looks trendy in the late spring or early summer.

Colored Blazers
The Blazers are mainly named because they were “blazed” with more color and bolder patterns than the refined sport jacket. As we see, the Blazers weren’t only striped these days, but they also comes in a variety of bright colors, like powder blue and purple, and started making their way into men’s weekend-wear wardrobes.

Lather Blazers
It’s the latest fashion. The lather jackets are no longer the fashion of eighties as they retuned in the fashion scene, and other than making for a cool style statement they also keep us warm and comfortable during those cold winter nights. So, the lather blazers pretty much took the place right beside the lather jackets. There are different styles of men’s leather blazer for those who have worked in the navy, army and the police force. However, the lather blazers are the most fashionable trend and with a pair of denim or even jeans, the spot light is on you.

Since the blazers are kind of old fashion trend so there are couple of things that you should keep in my mind while you are thinking about wearing a blazer,

• The first thing is, if you are going to wear a blazer, keep the breast pocket bare; don’t try beautify it with a badge unless you wear your blazer for club purposes.
• The single-breasted blazers, whether navy or colored without the brass buttons, are modern and versatile as they can be dressed up with flannel trousers or dressed down with denim. And they can also be accessorized with the most formal of ascots or the most basic of ties.
• In these days and ages, the traditional double-breasted, brass-buttoned nautical blazers are usually worn by older men; I’m talking the grandpa generation here. So, if you are thinking of trying this out, the best suggestion is, DON’T DO IT.
