For Men Fifty Shades of Blazer

For Men, Fifty Shades of Blazer. The Best Models for Winter

Wool or cashmere, slim fit, single or double-breasted. The “gray jacket” or blazer, is still one of must-haves for this cold season.
This winter will be hot, very hot. But without bagginess and massiveness. In fact, research and innovation of recent years have provided us with high-thermal-conductivity fabrics, without sacrificing aesthetics.
 

This Autumn-Winter 2016/17 is witnessing a triumph return of a gray blazer, a stylish and elegant coat, a must-have in every man’s wardrobe. Made of wool or cashmere, with a slim fit, single or double-breasted, the gray jacket, as it’s usually called by the East Coast Americans who are considered to prefer elegant style, is the right choice to show off at all times of the day.
Business style – with a shirt and a tie. Casual chic for an aperitif with friends – with a shirt and a scarf. Here are some blazers from the best catwalks of the world.
Let’s start with a deconstructed jacket by Emporio Armani, then pass to a double-breasted jacket by the perfume designer Saint Laurent, who would have turned 80 years old, and finish with shabby chic versions proposed by Prada and Lanvin. However, if you prefer an American style blazer, there is one by Polo Ralph Lauren that you will surely love. While, for the boldest ones, a black coat with embroidered butterflies by Alexander McQueen is the ideal choice.
Finally, here is an ode to Made-in-Italy suits and tailoring, thanks to the refined elegance of Santaniello, Brioni, and Boglioli jackets.
Comfort, warmth, softness and lightness are the key words for a man who never abandons elegance and style, even during the cold season.
