Royal blue is one of those colors that some people can get away with, and some people can’t. I have heard royal blue blazers described as sportscaster jackets. If you are bold and confident, you will be able to wear this color and look great. If you are more reserved, a less vibrant color may be for you.

The elbow-patch look is a look that gained popularity in colleges, since at one point it seemed to be a style that teachers adopted. But of course, anyone in any profession can wear this type of blazer. Aside from style, one of the advantages of this type of jacket is the fact the patches serve to reinforce the elbow area.

You don’t have to be Scottish to love the look and design of a tartan blazer. Classy and extremely traditional, tartan can be matched with dress pants, casual slacks and of course, the mainstay of Scottish traditional dress, the Kilt. You can also buy tartan socks, shirts, jackets, ties and even head bands in a wide variety of colors, to complement just about any fashion statement you’re willing to make.

Looking good and dressing well doesn’t mean that you have to spend a huge amount on clothes. The classic combination of blazer, white Oxford shirt and casual dress pants or jeans can add flare and hipness to any wardrobe. You would be surprised how many celebrities and young professionals look great in a mens burgundy velvet blazer, t-shirt, jeans and sneakers. Of course, for those extra special occasions you may want to dress a tad more formal by swapping out the t-shirt and jeans for a dress shirt and slacks… sneakers optional!

I guess at some point patches on jacket elbows were put there to cover up holes on old jacket sleeves, but now they are there more as a style than anything else. Over time the look – long associated with teachers – has become a classic. Perfect for the fall season, and great in combination with jeans and desert boots.
