Best Mens Fashion Accessories 2012: Cotton Twill Blazer by Banana Republic
For those who are setting out to dress well during the summer, there’s nothing more important than having a high-quality blazer on-hand. The blazer is extremely versatile, and can be worn in a variety of different types of ensembles. While it’s not uncommon for those who have never worn a blazer before to find doing so to be intimidating, there is truly no reason to worry, as even those who are brand new to fashion often find that they connect rather well with the piece. One of the finest-quality blazers for the price to hit the market in 2012 is Banana Republic’s grey cotton twill two-button piece, one that will last for many years when properly cared for. The following are just a few reasons why it might be advantageous for you to include one of these blazers into your wardrobe; especially given its price-point.
It’s All About the Details
As with most of the highest-quality pieces on the market, this blazer is all about the details. Featuring a two-button closure, this is the perfect blazer for those who consider the three-button variety to be a bit too much. It also features a notched lapel, which can add a great deal of class and sophistication to just about any ensemble. With tonal elbow patches, you can rest easy knowing that the piece is not boring and mundane; there is plenty of contrast to be found here. It also features a single back vent, which is lined for both comfort and aesthetic reasons. Indeed the Banana Republic two-button blazer stands apart from the pack for a variety of reasons, and is everything that fashion-forward men could ever ask for in order to add to a wardrobe.
The Ideal Fit
Anyone who considers themselves to know a fair amount about fashion knows just how important it is to find pieces that feature the right fit. Finding the right fit isn’t always easy, but it doesn’t have to be impossible either. The two-button blazer from Banana Republic features a tailored fit for a slim, custom fit that is perfect for anyone who has had bad luck with wearing pieces that just don’t quite fit correctly in the past. The piece is narrow in the shoulder, and features a thinner lapel than is usually seen in similar blazers. The sleeves and waist are also perfectly fitted, resulting in a piece that will look especially good on those who have a relatively lean frame.
Pairing Suggestions
There are a variety of different ways to pair the Banana Republic two-button blazer. One of the best ways to go about doing so is to wear it with a pair of dark denim jeans, layering it over a solid-colored t-shirt. For contrast, consider either a stark-white or pitch-black shirt, either of which will work just fine. Finish the ensemble off with black dress boots for a look that can easily be worn to a business-casual office, or simply tossed together for a hot summer night out on the town. Should you want to pair this blazer with a tie, then we suggest the following Dark Blue Skinny Tie by neckwear designer BlackBird. This tie’s narrow width perfectly matches the narrow lapels of the jacket while the worsted wool look keeps the casual cool look in line.
