Trend Factor: 7 / 10
Blazers have been around as long as the suit, but that hair-raising decade for fashion, the ‘80s, introduced the blazer as a single wardrobe item rather than as part of a whole outfit. Since the ‘80s integrated this style into everyday wear, we’ve seen the blazer worn in multiple ways, but one thing has always remained the same: No matter how you sport it -- collar up, collar down, over a polo shirt, over a dress shirt -- it’ll always look great with jeans. Armani Exchange has taken this widely known fact and made a collection of casual blazers with distinctive detailing that you can integrate into your casual-wear wardrobe, securing the blazer’s place as a fashion necessity rather than a passing trend.
Practicality Factor: 8 / 10
Depending on the shirt you wear underneath the blazer, you can dress up or dress down any outfit. So, in terms of practicality, you’ll never run out of ways to wear your blazer or events to wear it to.
Longevity Factor: 8 / 10
Armani Exchange offers modern leather-trimmed and velvet blazers that lend a contemporary, up-to-date variation to your look. For a more classic guise, however, you have a choice of time-honored tweed and cotton blazers that will carry you through a slew of seasons.
Wow Factor: 8 / 10
Armani Exchange blazers allow you the privilege of a designer look and a designer label at a decent price. And let’s face it: They’re pretty snazzy pieces to add to your getup. When it comes to “wowing” others with your sense of style, your designer blazer will prompt quite a rousing response from admirers.
