JEANS + BLAZER
(THE TEXAS TUXEDO)

The Look That’s Always Sharp*

(*As long as the fit is right)

 

JEANS

·          Make sure the fit is right.  The baggy look is out.  Go for a more classic, tailored cut.

·          The darker the jeans, the dressier the look.

·          For a more casual look, pick a pair with fraying or pockets (See D. Wade).

BLAZER

·          The fit of the blazer is the most important (whether with jeans or not).  The blazer should always be tailored.

·          A classic blue or black always works or go bold with some color or pattern.

SHOE

·          For a dressier look, choose an oxford or loafer.

·          For a casual look, choose a sneaker or boat shoe.

SHIRT

·          A white dress shirt will most often go with any combination of jean and blazer.

·          Patterned (e.g. gingham)  shirts work well with solid blazers.
·          Your shirt should always be tucked in.

ACCESSORIES

·          To tie or not to tie?  It's up to you!! 

·          Add a pocket square for some personality. 

         ·          Add a lapel flower or pin for that extra detail       ·          ALWAYS wear a belt

Things to remember:

·          Looks sharp with confidence

·          There are really no rules when it comes to your own personal style.

·          Jeans are always informal

·          The fit is most important
