There’s a delicate art, a feeling of sorts, as you look to bridge the gap between debonair office style (or any scenario where a tailored look is appreciated), and that of today’s more casual dress codes. A full suit likely isn’t called for in your neck of the woods most of the time, but there’s a difference between an ultra-dressy #OOTD and something that’s a little too casual for the office — or a date night, or a drinks meeting, or somewhere in between.
Of course, the good folks at Huckberry tend to nail this balance, drawing inspiration from the recent stylish past while meeting you (the modern, well-dressed man!) in the very middle.
The key lies in nailing business casual dress codes, putting forth the right amount of effort while also remaining comfortable and — dare I say it — a bit dashing in a sort of “Robert Redford” type way. Let an updated version of the classic navy blazer be your guiding light, my friends — let the Flint and Tinder Studio Blazer deliver just the right blend of easygoing good looks and business casual polish.
As you well know if you read this site on the regular, Flint and Tinder checks the proper boxes in terms of rugged good looks across its lineup of waxed jackets and burly flannel shirts.
And yet, there’s a distinctly polished sensibility to the Flint and Tinder Studio Blazer, with an unlined build and crisp details that Huckberry notes were “inspired by the casual-yet-capable blazers favored by architects and industrial designers,” and you should take the same approach as you style your new favorite men’s blazer.
That means using a mix-and-match approach, like teaming mid-wash blue jeans with the navy version of this blazer, alongside a white or charcoal Oxford shirt and medium-brown chukka boots, for instance.
The Flint and Tinder Studio Blazer should prove plenty wearable in its own right starting now and rolling into early fall, thanks to its unlined, garment-washed stretch cotton blend. Plus, it’s priced at under $200 and available in six helpful, standard sizes for limitless wearability, my friends.
Between the crisp Navy option and the breezy Khaki variety up for grabs right now via Huckberry, this blazer boasts classically casual touches like hip flap patch pockets and a chest patch pocket — there’s a leisurely yet luxe-looking nature to this blazer, with a design that makes it easy to wear over a merino tee or a sweater polo as well as your favorite chambray shirt.
With Huckberry’s helpful sizing chart as your guide, find your perfect fit and discover all the ways you can make this modern men’s blazer work for your transitional wardrobe.
