Holiday dressing comes with its own set of merriment and enjoyment — the most wonderful time of the year can indeed be a blast, especially if you happen to be dressed to the nines and ready to put your best foot forward.

And sometimes, putting your best foot forward in terms of men’s style essentials means stepping things up and opting for an investment-level essential from one of the best menswear designers in America, like Todd Snyder himself.

Take the men’s blazer, for instance. It can become a wardrobe workhorse this time of year if you select the right one, a style that’s easily wearable with everything from dark blue denim and leather chukka boots to tailored chinos and your best Chelsea boots.

And the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat fits the bill handsomely this season (and beyond), with elegant wool herringbone fabrication that falls perfectly in line with winter weather.

Boasting a tailored fit that forgoes traditional shoulder padding, this soft-shouldered jacket uses Italian tailoring cues for an impossibly cool fit and feel. The Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat boasts classic details like a double-vented back to go along with that eye-catching yet subtle herringbone pattern.

And in the right shade of blue, like this one, the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat pairs seamlessly with dark burgundy corduroy trousers, tobacco chinos or grey flannel suit pants for all your sartorial needs this season.

On that note: I’d wager you’ll want to wear the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat as often as possible this season, given the price tag (the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat is $698 at Todd Snyder).

But when you consider the possibility that you can practically put together a week’s worth of outfit combinations thanks to its versatility — not to mention a series of eye-catching holiday party ensembles — it’s clear that the Todd Snyder Italian Wool Sport Coat is worth the investment. Try it on for size this season and let me know what you think.
