Men's jackets and blazers: the piece that goes from the office to the weekend
The casual jacket and the blazer are the most versatile pieces in the wardrobe after the suit jacket: they smarten up an outfit without the stiffness of a full suit. The Jerem men's jackets & blazers collection offers styles in stretch cotton-linen, piqué knit and linen, to wear at the office as well as on relaxed outings, for a smart look without the formality.
What is the difference between a blazer, a casual jacket and a suit jacket?
A suit jacket is designed to match a pair of trousers. A blazer is a standalone jacket, more structured, often plain, worn as separates. A casual jacket (sports jacket) is the softest: textured fabrics, sometimes unstructured, designed for smart casual. The more structured the piece, the more formal it is.
How do you wear a blazer or an odd jacket?
The golden rule is controlled contrast: avoid tone-on-tone, which looks like a failed suit. A navy blazer with sand chinos or grey trousers always works. Mix textures (piqué knit, cotton-linen) rather than overly smooth fabrics that give away an orphaned suit jacket. Avoid striped jackets as separates: the pattern works better head to toe.
Which fabric for which season?
Stretch cotton-linen and linen lighten spring and summer outfits, breathable and relaxed. Piqué knit brings comfort and flexibility for versatile wear. For autumn and spring, textured fabrics carry off the standalone jacket role better than very formal smooth cloths.
How can you spot a quality jacket?
Look at the lapels (crisp, rolling without breaking), the lining (clean, well set in, or absent on lightweight unstructured styles), the vents at the back, and the drape of the shoulders (no rippling, seam right at the joint). A well-made unstructured jacket is light but keeps its line.
How do you care for a casual jacket?
Air it after each wear on a wide hanger with thick shoulders. Brush textured fabrics and steam out creases rather than using a harsh iron. Dry clean only occasionally. Linen creases naturally: that is its charm, so don't try to erase it completely.
