In times past, blazers were mainly worn by public school students and Oxford undergrads. But today, the humble mens casual blazer jackets have undergone a huge revolution, transforming into one of the biggest men's fashion statements.

Thanks to the refined tailoring and versatility of the blazers at MensUSA, this trend looks set to continue well. Not sure what all the fuss is about? Here's a quick guide to why men's blazers deserve their new fashionable status, along with a few tips on how to wear them.

Why a blazer beats a coat?

While men's coats often prioritize function over style, Mens casual blazer jackets offer protection from the elements as well as an effortless sense of fashion. That's not to say they should be worn in a blizzard - instead, they offer the perfect form of outerwear for spring and autumn, when the weather is in a transitional phase. Better still, they're also suitable for wearing indoors, as an alternative to a cardigan or jumper. Another great thing about Mens casual blazer jackets is that they suit men of all shapes and sizes. Paired with fitted trousers, they highlight the lean shape of tall and slender men without over-emphasizing a slim frame. Shorter men too benefit from the fine tailoring of a good blazer, because they help to define the upper body and make legs look longer. Men with a square or stocky frame, on the other hand, should pair a blazer with an open-collared shirt for a flattering smart-casual look. So you see how a good quality and finish mens casual blazer jackets can transform your entire look.

Ways to wear a blazer

If you're looking for a blazer to wear to the office, concentrate on serious colors like navy blue, brown or black. Pair with fitted chinos, a collarless shirt and brogues for an easy smart look that's not too formal. For a more laid-back office vibe, swap the shirt for a crisp white t-shirt and wear boat shoes instead of brogues.

For a casual outfit that oozes contemporary style, look for men's casual blazer jackets made from jersey. Choose a block color and pair with a striped or gingham top for a striking informal statement. To add a dash of color to a cocktail party, go for blazers in bright colors like emerald green, mustard or electric blue. Colored blazers are a great way to liven up formal events that don't specify a black-tie dress code. Be it any color or any kind of cut, you will get it all at our online shopping portal of MensUSA.

That said, blazers are appropriate for weddings too. Try switching your suit jacket for a tweed or velvet Mens casual blazer jacket and pair with your usual suit trousers and a tie or a bow-tie. Tailored blazers go well with kilts too and are a stylish alternative to the traditional Bonnie Prince Charlie jacket. Or make an elegant statement at a summer wedding with a pin-striped blazer and crisp white trousers. Shop these amazingly stylish and comfortable blazers from MensUSA and bring life and versatility to your wardrobe.
