Blazin' in that Blazer

A blazer is a type of jacket, worn as a smart casual clothing choose. The term blazer is used as a synonym for boating, sports jacket but are neither. A blazer can look like a suit jacket but has a casual cut. Sometimes they have patch pockets and metal buttons. They usually are made with durable material but not always.

The term blazer started with the red 'blazers' of the Lady Marganet Boat Club, the rowing club of St. John's College, Cambridge. The Lady Marganet jackets were termed blazers because of their bright red 'blazing' color.

Blazers can be worn with a wide variety of clothing. From shirts and ties, to polos. They can go with any type of pants; from traditional white cotton or linen pants to chinos and now of days more commonly jeans.

Blazers are very common and popular and can be worn for almost every situations.
