A suit jacket or for others, a blazer, is a must-have clothing item regardless of season and location. It is an all-around clothing that one can wear on casual to formal event. This article aims to provide important information in choosing, buying and wearing a suit jacket.   Let’s talk first about choosing the “styles”. An important and first factor to be considered in choosing the style is the “fit”. The style should fit your body well. The sleeves of your jacket should be half an inch shorter than your dress shirts. It should leave some room for your dress shirts cuffs to show. The vents of your suit jacket needs to have a good size. There are two types of vents, single center (back side) and double vents which are located at the side seam. If you are slim, single center vents would be better for you. If you have a big built, then choose double vents for more comfort. Single or double-breasted jacket? The answer depends on your built and height. If you are tall and lanky, double breasted jackets are recommended. The horizontal position of the buttons creates an illusion of width and would complement your body style. If you are big and short, buy a jacket with more than 2 vertical buttons to create an illusion of length. “Lapels” or the flaps around the chest are another item of style. Medium-sized lapels are the safest choice.   Ready to buy a suit jacket? If it’s your first time to buy one, consider the dark navy blue fabric. Your second color choice would need to be dark charcoal tone. These colors are flexible. They can be worn in different occasions. Wool is a durable choice in terms of fabrics, as it gives you comfort and warmth. It is also important to consider pricing. There are cashmere and 100% merino wool options that are very costly. Wool and polyester blends might also work out to be a more practical option. When you go shopping for a blazer, wear a jacket. Try on blazers while you have a jacket on as you are most likely be wearing several layers with your jacket. It is important to focus on what will make you comfortable so you can carry your outfit well.   “Wear the right clothes at the right situations”. In a semi-formal afternoon meeting, pair your navy blue jacket with a khaki pair of trousers, tie and dress shirt. Formal corporate meeting and occasions demands you to wear your jacket with matching trousers of the same color, contrasting dress shirt color and complementary tie. A polished, leather shoe is also a requirement. On a dinner date, you can wear your suit jacket with dark pair of jeans and dress shirt. Necktie not required.   Summing up, choosing the right suit jacket means being smart about the fit, price, the style and the occasion.
