The Blazer

Having blazed its way into becoming a closet staple, the blazer remains a hot article to have in your wardrobe. Adopted by the armed forces, infiltrated the gentry and businessmen, and later the world of high fashion. The Blazer’s elevation up the impeccable ranks is due to the way it is sharply tailored, accentuating the shoulders and tapering the waist, giving men a sense of prestige.

But it is said that designer, Yves Saint Laurent introduced blazers to the womenswear industry in 1966, when he debuted his Le Smoking tuxedo suit on the catwalk. Now, if you want to exude a sophisticated quality, it is the most appropriate thing to wear in any environment or occasion.
