The 15 Best Casual Blazers to Elevate Your Everyday Look

Here's to the hoodie's snazzy older brother.

By

Okay, I’ll be the one to voice the question that we’ve all thought before: Is he actually fashionable, or is he just wearing a blazer? The fact that this question can even be asked points to a truth that this style editor holds gospel: Blazers can elevate any look.

Think of all the times you’ve had on, say, a T-shirt and jeans. A leather jacket might make you ready for a night of pubs and clubs, but a blazer? You’d be better off on your way to an office party, or meeting your partner’s mother for the first time, or a vaguely formal situation that requires you to use differentiated silverware for each course of your meal. A blazer is the indisputable signifier of sophistication—you can be classy without having a blazer on, but you can’t have a blazer on without being classy.

The blazer is like the perfect middle child: younger brother to the tuxedo jacket, and older, wiser role model to the hoodie. Everyone loves a blazer, including jeans and slacks. And while I’m singing blazers’ praises (praizers, if you will), let me be very clear—a blazer (while still being a tool of finer style) can certainly be casual, and often, the best ones I find are. Whatever your personal style is, it won’t be complete without a blazer. We’ve rounded up 15 of the best ones on the market for you below. Let’s keep it casual, baby.
