Blazers are only one type of sport jacket and it is recognized by its single solid color. The finishing on this jacket is more refined and formal in its cut. Sport jackets usually have more casual and relax cuts.
The common solid colors we come across are the camel color, navy-blue, and the red ones. From all these colors, the navy-blue has been the most popular since the 1920s and have been considered today as an essential jacket in every man’s wardrobe.
Why are the navy-blue blazers such a popular choice in mens clothing? The obvious reason lies in its no-fuss details and masculine cutting coupled with an easy to match color, navy blue.
Traditionally, most men coordinate it with white or gray flannel pants. But today, nearly all types of colored pants can match very well with the navy color and it is also suitable for all seasons.
The jacket’s finishing and color allows it to be acceptable in most non-formal social functions without it being over- or under-dressed.
The fabrics used for navy blazers can range from the classic serge wool, to cashmere, linen, or even silk. Still the serge wool has been the more popular choice since it can provide a more semi-formal prestige.
Another typical finishing are the buttons. We would usually notice that many of these jackets use gold-colored buttons or even silver-colored ones among the traditional men.
It is not necessary to have specifically metal buttons. Other choices available for the buttons would be horn or plastic and we can use both dark colored or light-colored ones.
Irrevocably, the blazers are one of the most essential sport jackets in a mens wardrobe. We can have a few combinations of such jackets by twitching to a different color, fabric, and even the fine details like buttons and vents.
