Double breasted navy blazer inspo
My dears, I found a potentially nice looking DB navy blazer (is it a blazer? Don’t think it s an orphaned jacket but let me know in case) and am looking for some inspo on how to wear it before jumping in. Do you have some both elevated and casual? Tried looking in #inspiration but couldn’t find anything related.

And can this even be dressed down or is DB too formal?
They look like metal buttons from here, which would mark it as a blazer.
You can definitely dress down db blazers. This one is a little unusual in that the patch pockets are a more casual detail, but the material looks really smooth which is more formal.
I'm definitely no expert though!
Yeah buttons are silver-y and the material seems to be on the smooth side

The Navy Blazer with Brass Buttons
I haven’t stepped into a country club, played golf, nor am I a WASP, but I’ll still wear this slightly obnoxious, preppy garment.
As for the blazer itself, I love it! Specially the swelled edges. You can play it straight with some chinos, a shirt, and a tie or totally juxtapose it with ultra casual stuff like fatigues
Ooh this is great thanks ❤️
I’m a bit worried that the material looks too smooth, also as Jawn pointed out. What do you think? Also looking at the article most examples have much coarser patterns
That doesn't mean you can't dress it down, it's a more formal detail but you can work with that

Fair enough you’re right haha
The material seems to be serge, classic blazer material. You can dress it down!
The guy wants 210 best price and not willing to budge, guess it’s a skip :nooooo:
lol, 210 is silly for old ysl
Ask him in 6 months time when it hasn't sold lol
yep
I offered him 180 but that's probably too much
and they didn't accept lol
Damn I should rewear this fit even though I don’t have those specific pants or bucket hat anymore lol
Lol they offered 188€ now, realised the fuck up :xd:
But yeah looking at other similar blazers around that’s still too much
if this is your first blazer I would try to keep it below 100.
Vintage Burberry had very similar ones to yours in a navy hopsack that are kinda nice and relatively obtainable.
Yeah definitely, especially as Christmas season as coming the budget is rough given all the presents I have to arrange
Already had Burberry in mind for their checkered sport coats, will check the navy ones too thanks ❤️
I have a burberry, it's good
