Rise of blazers in fashion
Blazers are formal jacket made with matching pair of trousers, shorts or skirts.
Blazer is a step lower than the suit jacket. It is a hybrid of sort because it is more formal than a sports jacket unlike the suit jacket.
Though blazers are typically a formal piece of clothing, they can be styled in casual ways.
Also they have a looser fit compared with suit jackets. They are also not as structured especially in the shoulder area.
White and grey shirts can be easily paired up with a green blazer for a comfortable day look.
Grey and green look very chic and can work out best for a formal day event.
Brown and green is also another fabulous combination which can work in the day or night time.
For a blazer to look gone on you, the seam must hits right at the end of the shoulder. The top button of a two-button blazer should hit more than a bit above the navel.
The sleeves should hit between your first thumb joint and your wrist. And, as with all jackets, make sure to get them tailored so a quarter to a half-inch of shirt cuff falls below your jacket.
