ASOS Slim Fit Blazer In Tweed

I don’t believe there is a person on the planet who doesn’t like tweed blazers. If you happen to be the exception then please leave a comment below. For the rest of us, we love wearing tweed and we love looking at others in tweed also. The problem is most tweed blazers or even tweed suits are generally quite expensive. Here’s where my budgeting skills come into play.

After having a look around I found the perfect one – ASOS Slim Fit Blazer In Tweed!

The Blazer

If you have any doubts about ASOS and the quality of their clothing, remove them asap by buying this blazer. This blazer is made from a mixture of wool, acrylic and polyester to create the perfect tweed blazer. The inside is lined with polyester to ensure you have comfort while wearing it, I mean it’s not just about looking good is it? This blazer is designed the same way as your normal slim fit blazer with notched lapels, back vents and flat pockets.

What To Wear It With

Tweed blazers are fantastic for the simple reason they are ridiculously versatile. One of my favourite looks of the tweed blazer is to have a crisp white t-shirt underneath with some black jeans and plain black trainers or shoes. It’s so casual yet so smart and absolutely perfect for the weekend day and night.

Another look is to go smart and wear it with some plain trousers, a white shirt and if you want, throw on a skinny tie and some brogues or oxfords.

Which ever way you choose to make the ASOS Slim Fit Blazer In Tweed work is entirely up to you. Make it your own!

Grab this from ASOS for £75 and complete one more missing piece from your wardrobe.

Selected Velvet Blazer With Pindot In Skinny Fit

Wearing blazers/suits aren’t just for work or weekdays, in fact anyone who knows anything about style or fashion would know that wearing blazers on a weekend is extremely stylish. Velvet blazers take it to another level altogether. They are classy, smart and spectacular all in one, I definitely recommend everyone own at least one. The problem most of us find is that velvet blazers are usually priced around £200, which just for one blazer you will only probably wear twice a month, it is pretty expensive. Here’s where ASOS comes into play, the brand Selected has the perfect pindot velvet blazer for £72.

Selected Velvet Blazer With Pindot In Skinny Fit

The Selected Velvet Blazer With Pindot In Skinny Fit is a beautiful and classy piece of clothing. The velvet feel is amazingly soft on the outside and feels great on the inside with the normal suit lining you would expect from any suit.

The skinny fit really hugs your body so be sure to buy a bigger than normal size. I normally wear a 38″ chest but with this I need at least a 40″. The notch lapels are thin to match the skinny fit of the blazer. You could add a black skinny tie or a wool knitted (sock) tie.

The colour of the blazer is a solid black covered in sharp white tiny polka dots, aka pin dots. Where ever you go people will notice you, perfect for all you bold characters who love being in the spot light.

Pair this blazer with some black chinos/jeans and a crisp white t shirt for a casual saturday night look or if you want to wear it to a black tie event, put on your best cutaway collar white shirt and a smart black tie/bow tie.

Unbutton Your Suit Jacket

Obviously when it comes to you standing or walking around then obviously you want to keep your suit jacket buttoned up. Depending on whether its a two or three button suit you only ever do the top buttons up. It just fashion suicide to do so. So when it comes sitting down then you absolutely 100% have to unbutton your suit jacket. I’ve seen men do everything perfectly right in terms of their outfit and then sit down and look silly with their suit jacket still buttoned up.

Why?

Good question, you have to unbutton your jacket because otherwise the jacket will bunch up or be pulled around and undoubtedly it will completely lose the shape of the jacket. A suit jacket with no shape just looks cheap – don’t do it.

So if any of you have watched Crazy, Stupid, Love then you know Ryan Gosling is like the alpha male when it comes to talking to women and looking great doing it. In the picture he stands there with his suit jacket buttoned up and then as he pulls up his chair to sit down he unbuttons his jacket perfectly.
