00:00 Sweater Blazer Introduction
Sweater blazers or sweater jackets seem to be having a surge in popularity in recent years
Which leads us to ask: Is this a timeless piece of style? Or are we just witnessing a trend?
00:20 What is a Sweater Blazer?
Sweater blazers are an item of knitwear cut to look like a traditional jacket. But with the soft and comfortable structural benefits of a sweater.
01:28 Material
When addressing how practical a sweater blazer is as outerwear, we will say knitwear has some great uses. Having either warming or cooling properties depending on the fiber it’s made out of. And some styles are great as a lightweight layering piece that is especially useful during transition seasons.
02:28 When Should Your Wear a Sweater Blazer?
The sweater blazer can be an excellent choice as a house coat if something like the TV jacket is a little too vintage-inspired for your liking. It’s definitely a lot more refined than a hoodie or old t-shirt when around the house, but can also come across as less “affected” than a smoking jacket or dressing gown.
It’s also a great gateway into Classic Style if you’re not used to wearing more tailored and structured garments.
03:57 How to Style a Sweater Blazer (Outfit Rundown)
If you want to dress it up more, look at flannels, chinos, corduroys or other odd trousers, and a dress shirt, as your initial base pieces.
One of the easiest ways to pair the sweater blazer is with an OCDB & jeans. A casual collared shirt & jeans can serve as a good, neutral base that almost everyone will be familiar with and have.
When adding accessories to a sweater-blazer combination, it pays to keep things light. Steer clear of adding a pocket square. Go for softer neckwear.
05:53 Challenges of Sweater Blazers
Like with everything, there are pros and cons to the sweater blazer that have to be addressed.
As we were talking about knitted garments earlier, the material it’s made from has to be good quality, and can really make or break the sweater blazer concept as a whole. It’s also worth noting that the cut of a sweater blazer isn’t always as flattering as a traditional jacket.
08:56 What Are Some Alternatives?
Cashmere blazers can be an excellent alternative to a sweater blazer and help you to firmly make a decision on how formal your outfit is. Casual wool-based jackets can also be extremely soft and can even be made to have a coarser, fuzzier texture, helping to further casualize the jacket.
09:57 So, Timeless or Trend?
Whether sweater blazers are timeless or a trend is difficult to determine at this point in time
Are they as formal as a blazer? No. But are they as casual as a cardigan? Again, no.
However, there’s no denying there’s a certain nuance to wearing a sweater blazer. When done properly, you can really toe the line between stuffy and casual in quite an elegant yet modern and refined way.
This may be a rare occasion where the answer is neither timeless nor trend. In the realm of classic style, it’s simply newer than other items. So, they are currently a trend that has the potential to be timeless.
