Men's Blazers

Blazer or Suit Jacket: What’s the Difference? 

A blazer is designed to be worn as a separate, making it easy to pair with chinos or tailored trousers. A suit jacket is designed to be worn with matching suit trousers for a more coordinated and formal look.

For smart-casual dressing, pair a blazer with a shirt, polo or knitwear. For occasions that call for greater formality, choose a suit instead.

Choose a Blazer for the Season

Choose your blazer fabric according to the weather and occasion. Wool blazers are versatile for work, cooler weather and polished occasions, while linen and cotton blazers provide a lighter, more breathable option for warmer conditions.

For Australian summer, lightweight blazers can be paired with linen shirts, polos and chinos for relaxed smart-casual dressing.

How to Style a Men's Blazer

For a classic smart-casual outfit, wear a blazer with chinos and a shirt or polo. For a more polished look, pair your blazer with tailored trousers and a business shirt.

Consider the occasion first, then choose your shirt, trousers and shoes according to the required dress code.
