Tweed is seeing a resurgence this season and I applaud the recent prominence of this classic  fabric. Originating in Scotland, Tweed is flexible and gives a vibe of dressy informal-ness that makes this a go-to for everyday blazers and jackets. The hardiness and weather-resistant quality of this fabric is another plus point. 

This double-breasted blazer caught my eye and I just had to share it. The single-buttoned double breasted style gives this a modern feel that would be perfect in a date or for a night on the town. The slimmer cut and thin lapels ensure a better fit that looks current. 

The dark grey shade goes perfectly with denim or tailored pieces. The 4 cuff-buttons give this a tailored feel that won't go out of style.

Rules Of Style: The Perfect Fit
First impression matters and even though they might not be accurate or objective, they still count because it's harder to change an individuals's formed opinion of you than to make a good one the first time around. 

We are all judged to some degree by how we appear - our hair, clothes, nails, shoes, skin. When it comes to clothes, fit is so so important. You can have the sleekest pieces but if they don't fit right, they don't look right. 

Details has a guide to how clothes should fit. All aspect of a modern man's wardrobe - from shoes, to ties, to underwear, to formal wear. These rules are simple and you probably already have them ingrained somewhere at the back of your mind but it's always good to have a refresher. You never know what might hit close to home. 

Check out the rules here.

I have been keeping my eyes out for blazers for about a month now. I am looking for grey blazers especially. I had to stop and admire at this piece when I saw it. This is pretty much what I am looking for. 

Simple, clean yet with enough detail that warrants a second look. I like how this piece is basically a blazer with a military jacket lineage. The silver detailed button and the flap pockets add to the military feel. The clean lines and the single vent show off the blazer characteristics. 

The black velvet trim on the inside of the button placket provides a contrast that is subtle and sleek. This would look dapper and dress up a tee and jeans combo for example. That said, it would go with most anything - all year round. 

The price of this was another thing that got me excited. Get this D Collection Wool Cadet for US$148 at Urban Outfitters..

I am on the hunt for tuxedo jackets and more formal wear in general - no so much shirts because I don't need new ones but more outerwear that I can use both ways - for important nights and to dress up an otherwise casual outfit. 

I am really drawn to this well cut piece. It is simple, clean and yet so sleek - it's just what I want. I like the satin lapels and how they are slim - it gives a modern siluhette which is what I am looking for. 

This two button blazer is definitely on my list and would be perfect for a night event or a date. But I would probably use this more to dress up a tee and pants combo with faded, dirty sneakers for an edgier look.

Aside from trench coats, I have been looking at blazers too - both tuxedo styled ones and less formal one. These are investment pieces - you can have them tailored made or buy them off the rack. And sometimes, I find pieces that straddle both spectrum of formal and less formal wear. Just like this gorgeous piece from Lanvin. I am loving Lucas Ossendrijver's take on menswear this season. With modern, classic pieces such as these - I am seriously have lustbumps (goosebumps caused by lust of an item). I am digging this handsome piece's formal yet fresh spin on traditional black-tie wear. The clean lines and superb construction is stunning while the visible coated linings and lapels give this a bit of an edge that all comes together perfectly. This will look perfect dressed with denim or formal wear. Use this to dress up a tee and jeans or edge up patent shoes and a tuxedo shirt. Either way, you'll have a winner on your back and a completely enviable piece. Get this Lanvin Charcoal Jersey Blazer for US$1085.40 at Matches.com.

I love it when classic items get reinterpreted. I don't have a better example of that right now than this gorgeous Bottega Veneta jacket. I've been looking for blazers and jackets in general for a while now. I want something different and fresh; something that would get me excited.

And this really got me excited. I am loving every portion of this. The double layer that extends from the collar is simple and yet so arresting. It speaks volume for itself. I love the clean lines of this jacket and the double duty vibe it exudes. You can dress this up or down - either way, the charcoal grey color is timeless and will take you places.Pair this with jeans, pants or shorts - this versatile jacket looks fantastic styled any way. 

The visual effect of the double layer gives a quiet shot of sleekness that has won me over. This is so me and it's something I will wear to death; making this an investment piece!

Get this for US$1701.44 at Browns.

D&G Dolce & Gabbana Wool Blazer

D&G Dolce & Gabbana Wool BlazerDetails are great; detail and subtlety even greater. But the patchwork design on this wool blazer is nothing but subtle. It is big, loud, confusing and old.

I don't understand why designers would want to complicate their creations. Do they think that more 'details' means more warrant to charge more? More is less and you would think someone at D&G would get that by now.

It looks the type of arts and crafts project I used to do in elementary school where you learned about shapes by cutting different colored felt fabric and gluing them on a blank piece of paper. This is just like that - except you're not getting much of an education because all there is on this blazer is rectangles and squares and a ridiculous 4 digit price tag.

If you ever need an expensive reminder of your early years, you can find this for US$1,295 at Saks Fifth Avenue.

Versace Spring 09 Black Blazer

Versace Spring Blazer 09I am not a fan of Versace, I have always found their clothes and their products too OTT (Over The Top). But this sleek, clean blazer from their Spring 09 line caught my eye. I can totally see myself wearing this. I like the single lapel and the one button design but what I love is the white outline across the outside of the lapel and the front. It draws and highlights the sleekness of the cut and the shape. It's clear that this blazer has a versatility that I appreciate and I am sure you will too. Check your local Versace boutique for more details and Men Style.com for the complete collection.
