A men's leather blazer is the perfect middle ground between formal and casual. It is a great choice for special occasions that aren't strictly formal but still demand a sharp appearance. If you are wondering what to wear under your blazer, here are several ways to style one. The best part is how easily you can dress it up for a formal setting or dress it down with jeans for a relaxed look.
Dark wash jeans pair well with blazers, you can combine them with a turtle neck during winter to look dressier. For a more casual style, you can wear it with a cotton t-shirt and light-wash jeans. Avoid ripped jeans at any cost as it will look like a complete miss-match.
Unlike a suit your trouser does not need to be the same color as the coat, to keep your style more elevated wear your navy blazer with grey pants and a white shirt. The style is perfect for parties and special occasions as it is closer to a more formal approach.
Chinos replace the formal grey pants and a light blue shirt comes in place of a white shirt, this style is more towards the casual side and a good way to dress up for hangouts with friends, weekend dinners, and leisure. You can also go with the combo of V neck or round neck T shirts to look more stylish.
Dress down even further by replacing the chinos with slim-fit jeans, the shirt remains the same while the blazer is more of an earthy tone, perfect for a day look.
Look sharp while commuting by wearing a blazer over your casual outfit, a solid cotton tone red T -shirt, or a charcoal T-shirt, light wash denim and a pair of leather shoes will look ideal with this combination.
Experiment with your style by trying different prints such as polka dots, floral, checks, and stripes. Make sure your blazer is solid color if you’re doing to wear it with this kind of shirt.
Most of the styles above are based on versatile combinations, this one is quite the opposite but in a good way. Drop jaws by wearing your maroon blazer with a black tee and jeans and you’re party-ready.
