If you are convinced about getting a
red blazer then here are some things that you should note for a proper choice. Red is not a particular color but comes in different shades and thus selecting the right shade will do half the job in getting a perfect look. Select the shade keeping in mind the type of event you are attending. Dark red blazers like burgundy red blazers and maroon red blazers are the ones that are most recommended for formal events like weddings and such. These darker shades are also the ones that are best for gloomy seasons like winter and fall since they don't attract too much attention and is also not very hard on the eye of the viewer. But when it comes to semi formal and casual events that take place in the brighter months of summer and spring you can go with the brighter and lighter colors of red blazers. Brick red blazers and light red blazers attract attention and thus you can go with that choice when you don't mind being the center of attention in the event.
Red plaid blazers are one of the best recommendations for special occasions like weddings. If you are holding a outdoor wedding and would like to stand out among the group of people wearing black tuxedos on your special day you can opt to style the red blazers with proper combining garments. For example a peak lapel red blazer paired with a white dress shirt with the first few buttons left open and beige chinos is a great choice to begin. You can complete the subtle look by adding a pair of dark brown suede tassel loafers. You can also go with a shawl lapel red plaid blazer paired with a white dress shirt, black bow tie and black dress pants when you want a slightly dressier style.
For a smart casual style that you can wear to a Christmas party or such events you can pair the single breasted
red slim fit blazer with a gray knit turtle neck and black chinos. The dark shade of the red plaid blazer will match greatly with the navy color and you can use this to your advantage since navy is a favorite among men and thus you will have a large amount of navy garments in your wardrobe. For example you can pair the notch lapel red plaid blazer with a white dress shirt, navy vest and navy dress pants. For a laid back look you can lose the tie and add a charcoal wool hat.
There are very few things that directly affect the look of the blazer and one of them is the fit of the garment. A slim fit
red plaid blazer paired with a burgundy turtle neck and black dress pants is a good formal look. For a casual style you can pair the classic fit red plaid blazer with aquamarine dress shirt, gray chinos and complete it with tan suede chinos.
