Think of it as an upscale Zara (owned by the same company).

This store just opened up in my city Toronto, the look is nice not sure about the quality. I believe they do tailor made suits there as well.

Its Spanish not italian, but I believe they do have some stores in italy. I've been in several stores and its great stuff, wish I bought some stuff but didn't want to at the time for some weird reason, more like Ralph Lauren I think.

That's nice to know...

I'm a big fan of Boggi

But it's more Brooks Brothers than J. Crew though.

Do you think this blazer would work with black/dark jeans with boots?


   

[WanderingSoul]

Ali, yes. A blazer with dark jeans and boots is a good look, imo.

No.

But if you have to make it work
- no white shirt, use a nice colored shirt (lt blue is traditional, I'd rock it green or pink) or a patterned shirt
- sweater vest or waist coat of a different color
- pocket square is a must
- tie is optional, but a tie could unite the color schemes.

Tan/Camel Blazers traditionally go with
- dark grey
- navy blue
- blue jeans (but not deep indigo dye blue jeans)

And I'd throw in a patterned shirt and a Camouflage pocket square





Although this does like kinda hipsterish.

Those two looks are too fashion forward for me.

Also, I have come to agree with GManifesto on the whole suit jacket/blazer with jeans thing. It does make you look like a comic from the 80's:



If it were me, I would choose to either wear jeans with a leather jacket or wear a blazer with some chino's.

I do blazers and jeans all the time. can wear with t-shirts, polos or button ups. I like the example above, you can get really creative with combos/pocket squares, etc.

Only if they are dad jeans pulled up to your stomach and you wear them with running shoes.

Even from pics I have seen with a sharper looking guy dressed with a suit jacket and jeans, it still looks weird. It's visually jarring.

Ex: http://www.bestylish.org/blog/wp-content...jacket.jpg

Even though the jacket looks sharp, and the pants look solid, when they are put together it looks bad.

I stand by what I said originally. If you are going to wear a blazer, you might as well continue in that direction by wearing clothes that are a little more on the formal side of the line.

I know it is fashion forward to wear jeans with a suit jacket and to wear a suit with 50's styled tennis shoes, but it is "fashion forward" for a reason. They are fads that will pass in time, while timeless stylistic choices remain.

It all depends on what kind of suit you are wearing, and how you look when you suit up. If you are wearing some dorky looking black 3 button suit with a red tie and white button up point collar shirt, your chances of getting laid in that get up probably is not going to increase.
