Matching a Navy Blazer Jacket with Trousers - Mens Style Guide - Fashion Advice

About this video

Centeno teaches how to match trousers with a navy blazer by exploring various fabric and color options. He emphasizes the importance of avoiding combinations that look like a suit, and recommends specific pairings such as gray flannel, gray worsted wool, chinos, corduroy, and linen based on fit, body type, and occasion.

Key takeaways

• Centeno argues that the primary rule is to ensure trousers do not match the navy blazer too closely, as this creates an unintended suit-like appearance
• Centeno recommends gray flannel trousers as his top choice for pairing with a navy blazer, noting they create a monochromatic look that flatters shorter or stouter men
• Centeno advises that lighter-colored options like chinos, khakis, corduroy, and linen can work well if they fit properly and are clean and crisp, while distressed jeans should be avoided unless worn by musicians or actors
