Scotch tape A buttoned blazer (thus, no flyaway tie) Create a diversion like an eye-catching pocket square! [not more than $15] Opt for a bow tie instead – duh…. [not more than $20] Rock
Let me repeat for the record: J.Crew has fallen off a little bit BUT they still have some great pieces including this absolutely-perfect-classic-navy-blazer-for-every-occasion! It’s double-breasted. The juxaposition of the satin lapels and textured wool fabric make it not overly formal but super versatile! The fit is slightly tailored and, once on, you’ll be hard-pressed to find an occasion where it doesn’t work… My advice: don’t go without it! Yes…I scooped it too!
This season, I am lusting after just about anything with leather and this leather sleeve blazer by DSquared2 is no different. The notch collar, flap pockets and puffy shoulders make this a savvy selection for date night, an after-hours business meeting, or a Saturday late afternoon museum walk. Do you love it….or what? If the $1,995 price point is too much, don’t worry because Robert Rodriguez makes a similar perforated leather sleeve blazer for much less ($594). DSquared2 Leather Sleeve

We wanted to share a few of our favorite combinations as inspiration for the pairing…and to get your creative juices
While every man cannot and does not aspire to the same rat-pack je nais se quoi that Maxwell wields, every man can and should aspire to own a spring sport jacket that captures his own personal flair. Flair a la slacks on casual Friday, tattered jeans on Saturday morning, or linen pants for Sunday brunch — Maxwell simply provides the object that you can focus on! A few great options include: DKNY cotton sport jacket, $210 Ralph Lauren Black Label linen
