The Versatility of Navy Blazer
Ralph Lauren in Navy Blazer
A single-breasted navy blazer with brass buttons is an Ivy style icon and one of the most common versions worn by menswear enthusiasts today. It's popular mostly because it’s so easy to wear - it's usually paired with an oxford shirt, a tie, and khakis, but it works just as well with a white T-shirt and jeans. The double-breasted version with brass buttons has a more serious, military appeal, but today it’s usually worn with very casual looks. If you're not a fan of brass buttons, cleaner versions usually have horn or mother of pearl buttons, which depends if you want your buttons to still stand out a bit or totally blend with the jacket. I usually associate these “clean” versions with summer outfits. What you prefer will come down to your personal preference, but nobody can deny how versatile a navy blazer is. You can wear it with almost any type of trousers - khaki, grey, olive, white, any wash of jeans, or even with fatigues for a very casual, military-inspired look.
