Blazers/Suit jackets?
01-22-2013, 04:58 PM
My local Marshall's seems to have a ton of Blazers/Suit jackets on sale and since that's an area of my wardrobe I've been meaning to address this seems like a perfect time to ask RVF's advice on styles to get and how to put it all together.
I have some nice slacks, dress shoes and belts. No vest's yet which I think could be a good look for me.
I'm looking at wearing this getup at upscale lounges and Casino's.

1. Fit is most important. It's hard to find a perfect fit at marshall's so be sure you include alterations in your budget.
2. If you don't naturally "get" style, find a stylish or at least a fashionable girl to help you pick out jackets.
3. A jacket with non-matching slacks looks old manish. Stick to suits or a jacket with nice jeans if you can pull that off.
I've got the dick so I make the rules.

PresC- yeah I saw that link yesterday and it seems to focus more on jean/blazer combo whereas I'm looking for a more upscale/refined look.
Borrach- some good suggestions, I think I'm looking at a more Cole Haan loafers/slacks/jacket look. Idk if I can do the jeans/jacket look, never tried though.
Rude- I don't think G will be picking these up but it's the normal thing you would see at Marshall's; Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, etc.
I took some pictures with my iPhone but the images are too big to upload.
One of them is swede, bad look? I can see girls diggin the feel and being hands on... (More of a look for jeans?)

Upscale? Refined? Look no further than a fashionable ascot. Here's how to wear one:
Seriously though, there are some CHEAP options depending on your build. If you're thin, you can get a Banana Republic Jacket for about $200 on sale that will have that tailored European look vs. the potentially boxy Marshall's style (no idea what looks they carry just saying).
