Classic and comfortable, a men’s corduroy blazer is a must have piece in any man’s wardrobe. This rugged item can be dressed down or up to fit the occasion, ranging from comfortable days at the office to enjoyable conversations over coffee.  It is also multi-seasonal and perfect for travel, since the fabric resists wrinkles.

For the office, a men’s corduroy blazer looks fantastic when paired with tweeds and khakis. It adds a touch of hip authority and recalls the intellectual mastery of a college professor. To further add to that particular mystique, a sweater vest in warm, neutral tones is a must-have.  It can also be modernized with the use of bright accent colors, such as a solid tie in an eye catching shade, with a stark, white shirt. There are full corduroy suits on the market, but one must take care not to resemble a school boy getting ready for church. A men’s corduroy blazer is the way to incorporate the fabric, without appearing as wearing a costume.  After hours, it can take on a literate air, as an addition to the standard polo shirt and khakis. The effect is especially hip when worn with a strikingly designed t-shirt and distressed jeans.  The weight of the fabric lends itself to rolling, and a men’s corduroy blazer with rolled up sleeves can add an ironic touch to date night outfit. There are very few things this multi-tasking garment can’t work with. A dapper kilt, cargo pants, tight fitting jeans… the possibilities are endless.

When traveling for business or pleasure, a men’s corduroy blazer is ideal for long plane flights. Tight seating is not a problem with this comfortable material and is nearly guaranteed to arrive looking presentable. As you are wearing the coat, you will have more room in your suitcase for the essentials. A men’s corduroy blazer is also fit for all but the most formal of occasions, making it a natural choice for travel. Since museums and other buildings of interest can be chilly, it is also inherently practical, especially when traveling to destinations where the weather and temperature change rapidly.  The truly fashion forward can try a it with a pair of board shorts and sandals, or as a topper on the beach.

This signature piece can also be a charming addition to a woman’s wardrobe. Slightly oversized, a men’s corduroy blazer becomes a playful touch when paired with floral frocks. A t-shirt and skinny jeans become slightly more polished when a jacket is thrown over the top. Again, this can prove a multi-seasonal piece for ladies, as well, since there will be room for layering sweaters and scarves in the colder months. There is also something delightful about a woman wearing clothing that belongs to the opposite sex, especially if it belongs to a special someone. By borrowing his jacket, she can take him with her, wherever she goes, and be reminded of him.  This truly is a must-have accessory for any wardrobe, male or female.
