Up until recently, the mens blazer was all but ignored in the fashion world. It seems that those who are fashionably dressed deemed the blazer or sportcoat as old fashioned and fuddy duddy. Not anymore. Something came back into the fashion world over the horizon which was in style about thirty years ago. The Velvet Blazer. Yes, the velvet sport coat. Like so many other fashion items that go away and come back a generation later.
Mens velvet blazers like so many other garments has made a comeback and good one at that. The difference is the fabric and how a mens velvet blazer should be worn. Like all fashion, things that come back into style come back in a changed manner. The cut of the coat, width and style of the lapels, fabric and what to wear mens velvet blazers with have all changed. Everything about the velvet sport coat is modern now. Not a 1970s relic whatsoever. The fabric is no longer feels like it was made from a cheap sofa. No Sir, These new mens velvet blazers are made of cotton velvet which has a soft hand. Very luxurious to the touch. Old fashioned velvet was more like the stuff they put on those red lint brushes. Not this velvet.
They seem to look great in a casual manner of dress such as with a pair of jeans and a dress shirt. Fantastic Club Attire. I've seen some guys wear them with French Cuff dress shirts with the french cuffs folded over the bottom of the sleeve of the sport coat. Now that look will only work in a casual setting. Don't try it at work on casual fridays. Just a little too risque for the boss.
Another way to wear a mens velvet blazer of course is with a nice pair of dark color dress pants. With your favorite pair of well polished dress shoes. Please don't wear those old beaters buried in the bottom of your closet. It just doesn't work. If your shoes look good, then you'll look good. That's my Mantra. Shop Here for
