The humble blazer: a garment that’s slipped off the corporate coat rack and into the wardrobes of smart-casual types the UK over.
It’s the easiest way to smarten up a casual outfit, be it a floral dress on a park picnic or your usual jeans-and-a-tee workwear combo. It can be a secret sartorial weapon to throw over crumpled airport outfits or make a revealing top more family-friendly. A good blazer is a useful fashion essential to have and a key player in any capsule wardrobe.
