Guys should view the black blazer the same way women view the LBD (little black dress). EVERY women has at least one in their closet, it’s their go-to when they want a sure fire outfit that looks good. Same goes for the black blazer for guys; it immediately makes you look better, it dresses up any outfit (including jeans and a ratty t-shirt) and co-ordinates with pretty much every color you already have in your wardrobe. If you want to modernize; look for a slightly shorter jacket and of course you know to keep it trim.

We’ve got two new ones at Gotstyle:

Strellson Travel blazer $595 – Have this crumpled at the bottom of your suitcase and when you pull it out it’s good to go! Half lined to make it super light weight, with a ticket pocket and pick stitching for added detail and stretch for added comfort.

Gotstyle $450 – Subtle tonal herringbone texture gives this blazer added depth and richness, contrast brown buttons mean you can wear this with every color pant you own.
