Okay, I’ll be the one to voice the question that we’ve all thought before: Is he actually fashionable, or is he just wearing a blazer? The fact that this question can even be asked points to a truth that this style editor holds gospel: Blazers can elevate any look.

Think of all the times you’ve had on, say, a T-shirt and jeans. A leather jacket might make you ready for a night of pubs and clubs, but a blazer? You’d be better off on your way to an office party, or meeting your partner’s mother for the first time, or a vaguely formal situation that requires you to use differentiated silverware for each course of your meal. A blazer is the indisputable signifier of sophistication—you can be classy without having a blazer on, but you can’t have a blazer on without being classy.

The blazer is like the perfect middle child: younger brother to the tuxedo jacket, and older, wiser role model to the hoodie. Everyone loves a blazer, including jeans and slacks. And while I’m singing blazers’ praises (praizers, if you will), let me be very clear—a blazer (while still being a tool of finer style) can certainly be casual, and often, the best ones I find are. Whatever your personal style is, it won’t be complete without a blazer. We’ve rounded up 15 of the best ones on the market for you below. Let’s keep it casual, baby.
