Blazer Guide For Men - How To Wear Navy Blazers, How They Should Fit & Buying Tips

About this video

The Gazette team provides a comprehensive guide to blazers, covering their definition, history, construction details, and styling. They explain what distinguishes a blazer from other jackets, discuss fabric and fit considerations, and offer guidance on how to wear and coordinate blazers with trousers, shirts, and accessories.

Key takeaways

• The Gazette team defines a blazer as a stand-alone jacket worn with non-matching trousers, typically in solid navy or bold stripes, distinguished by contrasting buttons such as brass or mother-of-pearl
• The Gazette team recommends that first-time blazer buyers choose a navy serge blazer with proper fit (shoulder seams on shoulder bones, adequate shoulder room, side vents) and either structured or soft interlining depending on formality level
• The Gazette team suggests pairing blazers with contrasting trousers in various colors and patterns, light-colored shirts, and accessories like pocket squares and ties, while avoiding black and similar navy shades
