Blazer for bars or clubbing

Mayday981 · Mar 7, 2007

Ok, I'm convinced now that wearing a blazer with either a button down shirt or just a t-shirt looks good. I was wondering if anybody has any good recommendations for blazers? Especially worn with Nudies RRDS, 5ep STraight Resin, or ES hutches.

Also, I have a sort of picture what would be a awesome look. It'd be a black blazer, black shirt, one of the denims I've listed, and possibly brown chelsea boots. What do you guys think?

I think black blazers look like ****, but that's my opinion.

For clubbing, I probably like my tan leather blazer the best. Brown and gray can work. Slim fit is a must. Fun material can be a plus.

T-shirts go great with blazers if you can pull it off. Works better with skinny dudes.

Favorite color combos for blazers + t-shirts:

Brown blazer - red t-shirt
Tan blazer - blue or white t-shirt
Gray blazer - faded blue t-shirt (kind of the background color of this message board).

I strongly recommend getting REALLY cool designs on the t-shirt. Nothing mainstream.

A cool belt finishes off the outfit. Chicks dig this look.

see if target still has any velvet blazers on clearance. if not, see if they have any new ones at regular price.

Target had no blazers in stock. Actually I don't like the velvet blazers they had before. I felt they looked tacky.

Metrostyles, which designer blazer did you get for the tan one?

A|X...

At least it wasn't too pricey. Just get something that fits great - especially around the waist.

Mayday,

No offense, but I think black blazer with black shirt, jeans, and brown shoes would look horrendous.

Good looks I've seen with a black blazer would be something like a light or medium grey button up shirt, or even a charcoal one, and jeans, untucked. You can swing the brown shoes then, if you have a little contrast in the outfit.

I'm fond of Rag & Bone blazers, personally, but not the 3 button kind for going out. I have an awesome midnight blue (blacker than black) R&B blazer that has 2 metal buttons down the front and one metal button at the end of each sleeve.

I agree that black blazers are hard to pull off. Your best bet is the classic Tom Ford look with lighter jeans and a starched white button-down underneath.

Ah cool, no offense taken. That's how you learn by making a suggestion and having a forum of opinions and critiques. I know black is kind of played out. I will definitely check out the Rag & Bone blazers. I don't mind spending over a hundred bucks for one as long as I get get a good one that can last maybe a couple years.

Hmm, I'll check online for the Tom Ford look. I've heard of him but never really seen his style.

Yeah, I think it works well with a washed jean in dark/medium blue without a whole lot of contrast. It may also work better if the wearer is fairly slim but not skinny.

I'm 5'8", 165 pounds. I'm a fatass, hahaha. I'm going to check out the A/X at Pasadena. Unfortunately, their selection is quite limited.

Do you shop there often? In the past I've found A|X to be very short in the arms and torso. It's like a store for midget guidos.

Just between you and me, A|X's blazers are ******* fantastic and I will most likely keep buying them there as long as they continue to impress me.

Hey how is this blazer: http://www.armaniexchange.com/produc...&sortby=&size= In gray of course, white would get stained too easily.

Eason · Mar 19, 2007

it looks a little formal... I'm partial to this one: http://www.armaniexchange.com/produc...&sortby=&size= more casual, and you might enjoy the vest novelty option or this one as well: http://www.armaniexchange.com/produc...&sortby=&size= It's too bad they don't still have the moleskin military blazer, I got one for $69 at the very end of their sale and it's gorgeous, I get compliments every time I wear it.

That one is kinda blah.

I'd rock something like:

Honestly, I think something like this would be totally pimp although it's slightly unrelated:
