How to Wear a Blazer, Styling Tips for Men
Blazers are always in style no matter what the season might be. The important thing to remember with regards to men’s blazers is that it can go with almost anything. Here are some tips on how to wear a blazer the right way and on the right occasion. First, in a company with a casual business dress code, blazers offer a very practical solution to the problem of dressing respectably without going out of style. In most of these workplaces, khakis and polo shirts dominate the scene.
The one who has the pizzazz to wear a blazer on the whole dress ensemble would look distinctive and chic. You can put a blazer on top of a dress shirt with a button down collar, adding a tie into it would furnish the look even further. A point collar shirt formalizes the collection a bit more. For your footwear, loafers, and monk strap shoes are all terrific choices. Knowing how to wear a blazer during events such as a dinner in a restaurant or attending a religious service can help you a lot. Blazers can add flavour to your overall attire. On these days, you cannot go wrong with wearing a crew neck shirt, with a deep V-neck cardigan beneath your trendy blazer. The advantage to this ensemble is that the t-shirt will act as a second skin or a protective cover to ensure warmth. It also prevents exposing your chest. The cardigan will keep you cosy and would offer a classic, stylish and up to date look. You can wear this with a straight leg version of your everyday jeans. For a casual event, you can opt for a more casual look which includes a collection of a long sleeve polo shirt or a turtle neck, slacks or straight leg jeans, and a blazer to finish the outfit. You can also wear a classic button down oxford coupled with cargo pants and of course a blazer.
FUNERAL DRESS CODE FOR MEN
FUNERAL DRESSING CODE FOR MEN
One of the saddest occasions in any man’s life is when he has to attend a funeral. Funerals are very somber, formal, and respectful occasions. Part of being respectful is dressing appropriately for the funeral. Many people are actually confused as to what to wear to a funeral, but there are some very simple guidelines to follow.
Men, if they want to dress traditionally, should wear a black suit. This means black suit jacket, black slacks, plain white shirt, a long, plain necktie, preferably black. There are exceptions to these rules. A black suit paired with a black turtleneck, black dress shirt and long black tie, a black dress shirt with the first button undone and no tie, or even a black t-shirt (preferably a silky one). These can all be acceptable, depending on the deceased and the family at the funeral. Dress shoes should be worn, not tennis shoes or boots. If you are a pall-bearer, then you should wear a suit that is dark, or at the least a dark colored sports coat with a tie.
Some people don’t think that a funeral should be so dark. These people believe that the person’s death should indeed be grieved, but their life should be celebrated with some sort of color. Don’t go overboard with this. No wearing neon colors. Instead, wear a pale blue, deep red, or something similar. If there is going to be a religious service, then make sure that you dress appropriately. You should dress conservatively, in dark colors, and avoid wearing anything that is considered to be sexy. Since many men dress in sexy shirts or tight pants, they should tone it down for the service. If in doubt, check with the party beforehand, just in case all black is requested or some other combination.
