The blue blazer is probably the most useful thing a man can own and also one of the easiest to get wrong. Too shiny and it reads like a cruise ship captain. Too casual and it just looks like you’ve separated a suit. The ones worth buying sit in that well judged middle ground where the cloth, the cut, and the colour all agree with each other. Navy works harder than most men give it credit for. A cleaner mid blue handled correctly can be just as versatile. We have been looking specifically at blazers that earn their place worn over a t shirt on a Saturday and over a shirt on a Tuesday night out, without looking like they’re working too hard in either direction. Construction matters here. An unstructured shoulder reads very differently to a built one and neither is wrong, but you should be choosing rather than settling. These are the ones we’d build an outfit around without hesitation.
