Sport Coat: Never Leave Home Without It!
Why is it that when the weather gets warmer men forget everything they’ve learned about style. Shirts are left untucked, brogues are traded for dirty sneakers and lets not even mention sportcoats and blazers. Well, actually lets talk about that last one. If we haven’t emphasized enough blazers and sport coats are an essential part of any mans wardrobe. Having said we can only image that the reason men refuse to wear them in the summer is because they get too hot. To those men we offer you this great tutorial from Founder Melissa Austria who explains all the different options available, allowing you to stay stylish and cool all summer long.
What’s New: Circle of Gentlemen Our Capsule Collection
Based in the Netherlands, Circle of Gentlemen, offers a modern twist to a classic sartorial aesthetic. Since 2006, 3-button collars have been a trademark for Circle of Gentlemen, giving the brand its very own, distinguished and elegant style. The brand believes that “true elegance goes much further than just wearing an exclusive item of clothing. After all, it’s how you wear it that counts.”
For this season we picked a great capsule collection of pieces to highlight the best for our clients. We opted for the blue colour pallet as that is the “it” colour for the season and also because it allows for the most versatility. Circle of Gentlemen is exactly that, for gentlemen. It’s not for the faint hearted as the pieces make a bold statement and are meant to be seen. The iconic 3-button high-collar, a modern twist on the classic Mandarin collar truly distinguish the wearer from anyone else in the room.
Staff Picks: Spring Blazer Must-Haves
One of my favourite blazers this season is this camo blazer from Vito. To me camouflage is becoming a neutral, the same way leopard print has become a neutral for women. I love that it has a shawl collar, and if you look on the cuff, all the stitching is done in almost an ombre style in different colour variations.
For spring I love this jersey sportcoat from Blue Industry. This coat is perfect for that guy that is just starting to wear jackets but isn’t ready to be super dressy. This blazer definitely caters more to a casual aesthetic, and works well when paired with a some nice denim. This blazer also features some cool details like the lininig under the collar and strip on the pocket.
I picked this blazer from Tiger of Sweden, because it is a very trim brand and very fashion forward. I love this blazer because it’s very different and will make you stand out from the six other guys at the bar wearing a blue sport jacket. The best feature being that it is double breasted and that it slightly shorter than your average sportcoat.
I picked this jacket from Van Gils because of it’s fit. It is made out of really soft jersey and when you put it on it just moldes itself to your body and moves with you. It’s quater lined and features four different contrast linings, and the ever classic elbow patches. Definitely a jacket designed more for casual and social scenarios.
I picked this blazer from Sand because it’s a fantastic staple for Spring and Summer. I love that it is linen, features a subtle plaid pattern and that it almost looks like denim. Making it very versatile and easy to wear. It can easily be dressed up or down, wear it with jean and chucks or wear it with a nice pair of trousers to the office.
I picked this blazer by Vito as my favourite because it has a fantastic price point, at only $178, which is amazing for a blazer of this style and quality. Whether you have a yacht, or not this is a great weekend blazer. You can wear if to a Saturday night party or an early Sunday brunch, just throw it on with a t-shirt and a pair of cotton chinos, and you’re set!
This taupe blazer from Circle of Gentleman is a great options for spring because it’s versatile and offers a nice fresh alternative from typical colours and pallets for the season. I especially love the fact that is has the classic ticket pocket and features blue suede detailing on the pockets and lapel.
This blazer by Johnny Love has a fit that is simply fantastic. It offers a nice trim-cut great for most body types, which is nice. I love the slight tuxedo style details on the contrast lapel and pocket stitch, making it great for an evening out on the town or a casual walk around on the weekends.
