Dress up your office wardrobe. Soccer Jersey Fabric
WHILE FEWER menswear brands are making blazers these days given our laxer dress codes, we'd argue that the best men's blazers still have a place in our closets. Blazers, and by that we also mean sport coats (we’ll cover that distinction later), work on multiple levels of formality. They can go full formal when matched with slacks and a tie for occasions like weddings and dinner parties. But the blazer's specialty is business casual, worn with jeans or chinos and button-down shirts. But it's becoming more important that the best blazers for men will accent your casual, everyday fits.
The right blazer can take a matching sweatsuit for all-day lounging, or level up a party fit. You can throw a blazer over a t-shirt and shorts combo for outdoor dinner parties, or you can go classic with a navy blue blazer, a wardrobe workhorse, that looks great with just about anything.
To make the right choice, know that the best blazers for men need to have an impeccable fit that is well-tailored and flatters your body type. The best blazers for men should be crafted from materials such as wool, linen, cotton, or performance blends that provide both comfort on the go as well as durability. Overall, whether you're dressing for a formal event, a business meeting, or a casual outing, the best blazers for men will elevate your look while keeping you at ease. Ahead, our style editors have found the 24 best blazers for men.
This bestselling jacket has received tons of five-star reviews for its affordable price point, wrinkle-resistant fabric, and athletic fit. And did we mention it's under $80?
For guys who prefer more formal styles, you can't go wrong with this sleek wool blazer from Indochino. Yes, it's on the conservative side, but this micro-check pattern makes for an interesting twist. Plus, each order from Indochino is custom-made for a perfect fit.
Lululemon has been churning out some menswear classics with an activewear sensibility. This lightweight, office-friendly, yet travel-ready blazer also has a stretchy, water-repellent fabric that moves and breathes easily.
You don't need to go full athletic fabric to make a suit optimal for travel. In fact, sticking to mostly wool will retain the shape of the suit longer and provide a more refined look. Bonobos built its blazer entirely out of wool while keeping the fit unstructured and the interior unlined, meaning it’ll provide an easy feeling for traveling and committing. Bonobos offers three different cut options to nail down your most comfortable fit. An extra large interior pocket to stash your passport, wallet, or anything else is a nice little bonus.
Functionality is key to a great travel blazer, and Relwen has it in spades. The three exterior patch pockets are similar to any casual blazer, but the large interior pocket has a zip closure with a vertical opening for easy access. It is ideal for stashing valuables. The fabric's stretch also makes the blazer travel- and commute-friendly.
On top of that, a discrete snap closure pocket is tucked into the back along the right-hand vent. A four-button design plus a throat latch allows you to button all the way up to your neck like a true jacket, while functional buttons on the sleeves allow you to roll them up. That means this blazer covers a very wide range of temperatures.
What impressed us most was the look. At face value, this is just a great-looking cotton blazer, appropriate for work or semi-formal events. All that function is cleverly tucked away in a stylish package.
Brooks Brothers specializes in classic jackets that still look great today, and this two-button blazer is no exception. It's in a darker navy hue for a dressier look and has a standard cut that's relaxed but not sloppy.
The Tie Bar makes quality off-the-rack jackets that rival Saville Row-style tailoring, and this classic, fully-lined blazer looks great in just about any business and formal setting while being under $150. Available in six colors and modern and slim fit, the fabric is also made with spandex to amp up the stretch so you'll be able to move easily in this blazer.
Rhone hits the nail on the head with these wrinkle-resistant commuter blazer made from the brand’s premium Flex-Knit fabric that is four-way stretchy and breathable. Semi-constructed and partially lined, this blazer also feels and looks rather elevated, so don’t be afraid to sport it to your office days.
When J.Crew launched the Ludlow suit a little over a decade ago, it set a new standard for formalwear. Men were already starting to dress up again, and the store brand provided an approachable entree with great tailoring. We've come a long way since then, but the Ludlow remains a steadfast example of how suiting-up should fit and feel. What was once the game-changing suit is now a reliable classic. This slim-fit blazer, for instance, looks good with any classic, elevated style, and will pay off in the long run without costing an arm or a leg.
Meet you casual blazer, made with classic tailoring plus modern feats like four-way stretch, sweat-wicking, quick-drying, and a back vent that altogether make traveling and commuting in blazers much more comfortable. It’s also incredibly light, so you can pack it on the go.
With pockets galore and plenty of stretch for movement, the Inlet blazer is also knitted to look forever sharp, feel forever soft and cozy, and stay forever tailored. Not stiff or stuffy at all, this slim-fit blazer lets you keep it classy with an unlined construction that’ll adapt to your shop, but you can easily dress it down too.
This Todd Snyder sport coat walks a fine line between professional but never stuffy, and ticks all the boxes when it comes to the versatility of being paired with pants, jeans, and even shorts with a belt, says personal stylist Stephanie Gisondi-Little. Yet the blazer does not disappoint when it comes to dressing up for the red carpet thanks to its sophisticated tailoring and pique fabric.
Herringbone is that two-tone zig-zag pattern you see everywhere from suits to furniture. A herringbone blazer is as essential to a well-rounded wardrobe as a reliable pair of jeans. Many brands do it well but it is hard to top this classic, Merino wool version from Todd Snyder. It looks great with both office wear and casual combos such as tees and chinos. The shoulder areas fit more relaxed, while details from the collar to the lapel keep it formal.
If you really want to look like a gentleman, go for a double-breasted take on blazers since the style is more commonly seen on suits and tuxedos. This DB blazer by Hawes & Curtis takes the elegance up a notch with its fine wool fabric, luxe textured weave, gold buttons, and peak lapel.
The Velocity blazer is ready for anything, anywhere. Performance-wise, it’s incredibly soft, made with four-way stretch and wrinkle resistance, while remaining machine washable. Look-wise, it’s tailored, crisp, and elevated enough to be dressed up or down. We also love the fit that is structured for more formal settings.
The future of blazers will be full of performance properties, like this one made in a fabric that is light, wind-resistant, water-repellent, quick-drying, breathable, stretchy, and has articulated patterning that eliminates restriction when you move. In a relaxed, boxy fit, it looks good on different body types and can be easily worn as your everyday jacket.
Eddie Bauer, the outdoor clothing brand, also makes a blazer that you can easily roll up its sleeves and get ready to tackle the world. In a sports coat style, this travel blazer is winkle-free and comes with multiple pockets inside to stash your essentials. Its fabric is also water-repellent, meaning you won’t be afraid to sweat or meet the drizzly days in this blazer.
Lightweight, moisture-wicking, with four-way stretch, this blazer is designed as a wedding suit jacket, but also plenty of usage as a travel blazer thanks to its breathable performance fabric. We especially love the built-in stretch plus minimal lining which combine to let you dance the night away or commute in style.
Wool-linen is another blessing for all-season style: wool guarantees elegance, comfort, and function, while linen provides lightness and crispness. Mixed with Ted Baker’s classic navy (and a few other neutral hues), this suit is a top-notch choice to avoid sweating all day at the office. Our testing editor also loves that it truly offers the best of both worlds—the coolness of linen and the comfort of wool. Although we found the fit is less tailored, it still looks sharp.
The modern fit and plus make the blazer as everyday-friendly as it is office-ready, meaning you can style it however you like and wear it as simply a jacket if you wish. The checkered pattern puts an elevated twist on the overall look, meaning you’ll always stay looking shape in this blazer.
