Slip on as you embark on a work day, and clock-off with no need to sub outerwear. Just rotate accessories, footwear and under-layers, while the structured refinement of a blazer adds polish to every occasion.

The structured refinement of a blazer adds polish to every occasion
Valentino’s Brown Technical Wool Blazer checks the brown trend box we’re obsessing over this season. For a brief hiatus from black (we know it’s a challenge), this rich chocolate hue allows for versatile pairing with monochrome or all-white underneath.
Balmain’s Double-Breasted Emblem Blazer is a welcome dose of embellished opulence. For when you need to instantly elevate an intrinsically-casual wardrobe, this one-stop throw over will take jeans and a tee to the next level.
Masters of pared-back elegance and expertly-crafted suiting, Brioni can do no wrong with a blazer brief. This Virgilio Sport jacket hails from Italy, exuding Mediterranean summer charm and European romance. This look omits black, keeping the palette light and earthy. Pour a pinot and twirl some pasta – this one’s reserved for Date Night.
All roads lead to Tom Ford for your classic black blazer. Renowned for unrivalled tailoring, TF crafts pieces to be worn tirelessly. This silk-blended, single-breasted jacket is completely ageless, lasting an eternity and then some. Functionality is fundamental here, too, featuring notched lapels, a chest pocket and side flap pockets for keeping the essentials close.
Lardini’s Green Checkered Cotton Jacket is an ode to the pattern pandemonium of AW21. The Italian house has dreamt up an equally practical and beautiful jacket, woven from cotton and hailed as easy-to-wash (an incredibly honourable feature). And the lasting touch? Sartorial patterns line the underside of the blazer, with annotations from tailors’ archives, so the makings of the marvel are carried with its wearer.
