Since then I have read a bit about different types
Long post with lot of questions, please bear with me!
First, will you consider this a blazer or an orphaned suit jacket? It has a jetted pocket on the left and a flap pocket on the right. (Edit - sorry I'm dumb. Clearly both sides are flap. One of the flaps went inside after a while and I didn't notice it and didn't wear this again after this event. So didn't look properly lol). However it is, is my styling okay? Any honest criticism or suggestions welcome! ? This was a last minute purchase for an event (from a local Italian clothier shop) and pricey as well ($475, pricy for me). If you consider this as a blazer, should I keep it as my 1 navy blazer or should I buy one specifically (suggestions in the US for that)
Another question I have is with this:
This is a cheap $60 sale item from Zara. It is not wool. Just polyester and some mix. It is listed as suit blazer. There are matching pants sold separately in their website but wasn't present in store. This was hanging with other similar jackets, so I thought it is meant to be separate piece and bought it. Can I pair this with non matching Chinos/jeans and use it a for casual events? (if yes, then suggestions on style and color combinations please) If this is not encouraged, then I'm ok to return it.
So these are my really 2 jackets now (other than a full black suit). What other colors should I get as a bare minimum? I'm 29 - average build - brown skinned - 5'10". I'm mostly looking for casual / business casual events. After bare minimum what should I go for? I'm interested in both blazers and sport costs and planning to have around 7-10 jackets in various price points like cheap ones like the Zara above or ones over $400 as well. Just want to have a mix. Also interested in knowing whether different fabric jackets like courdroy, suede, velvet are also considered good? If yes, what type of events to wear these?
And regarding full suits, as I mentioned already have 1 and very rarely use it. I don't need another one, right? (will get 1 more if/when I get married)
Thanks in advance!!
