Mens Casual Jacket – They May Be Quirky, but Blazers Sure Can Be Stylish
Mens casual jackets took on a entirely look in the 1940s, Placing the odd jacket to the back seat.
By the time the 1940’s rolled in the men’s casual jacket of choice was the distant cousin of the odd jacket, the blazer. When wearing blazers became the fashionable alternative to the odd jackets, outside of the cricket club scene, these men’s casual jackets transformed from the often seen broad stripes and club colors to a jacket with a definite naval over tone.
The blazer became the standard in men’s casual jackets when the look adopted the two to three brass buttons, single or double breasted models, solid colors of navy blue or black, and a club insignia on the breast pocket.
Today, quite a few other choices are afforded in the nautical themed mens casual jackets. Patch pockets, flap pockets, peak or notched lapels just to point out a few. Depending on the happening, the blazer can be a very versatile jacket because it is easier to dress down than the patterned sport jacket, the other type of men’s casual jackets that can be found in the same class as the blazer.
Pair the blazer with a pair of white linen trousers, an off pink colored polo, and a pair of white deck shoes, and you are well on your way to making a beautiful impression at the marina.
