Leather Blazers for All Seasons

There is no question that a leather blazer jacket is an invaluable wardrobe accessory all year round. The blazer is so versatile that it will complement the vast majority of outfits without looking out of place. In addition, if we are thinking about the current season and weather a leather blazer is still a very handy dress companion. Leather is natural insulator which helps to maintain a regular body temperature regardless whether it is a cold, mild or warm. The UK spring and summer more often than not are dispersed with cooler to cold intervals, whereas the autumn can be quite mild and sometimes even warmer than some spring and summer days!

So it is no surprise when you think about it, that a leather blazer made of soft nappa is a very useful jacket to have for this time of year. It feels great and looks even better on. A good quality blazer will fit like a glove and you will barely notice you have it on, yet you will be very thankful you have when the temperatures drop and, or the wind picks up.

Blazers are available in an array of styles and these are grouped broadly as follows:

Men's Blazer Jackets

• Single Breast - Slim Fit or Tailored Fit / Regular Fit
• Double breasted - Tailored / Regular Fit
• 3 Button - Typically Comfort to Loose Fit , also Regular Fit option
• 2 Button - Slim Fit to Tailored / Regular Fit
• Rear Vented - Slim Fit to Tailored / Regular Fit

Women's Blazer Jackets

• Semi-Fitted / Tailored Fit - 1 or 2 button usually and waist to just pats the waist length
• Comfort Fit - anything from  3 to 5 button style typically
• Box Cut - 3 to 5 button in length variations from wiast to hip
• Longer length / Hip length - 3 to 5 button mostly and usually a more casual relaxed fit
• Cropped Length - 1 or 2 button

The single breast blazer has always worked very well for both smart and casual wear, whereas double breasted blazers tend to be more associated with suits and worn less so with jeans, casual trousers or smart slaks.

Leather blazer jackets tend to be typically tailored in a single breast style in both men's and women's ranges to ensure full wardrobe versatility. Men's blazer's come in an option of single or double rear vent,(aka rear vented and double vented), as well as unvented on the more casual fit styles. Vented blazers are slightly more stylish than unvented and tend to be slim or tailored come regular fit as these narrow at the waist. The unvented blazers for men are a comfort to loose fit and better suited to the larger framed man who does not narrow at the waist and are therefore available in plus sizes. Good news, the more trendy or modern version of single breast balzers, the 2 button and vented styles are also offered in men's plus sizes as well as made to measure up to 7XL and 8XL at specialist online retailers such as UK Leather Jackets.

The great thing about a leather balzer over a cloth blazer, is that is offers a unique and dynamic character...the leather takes on a new lease of life with age, unlike cloth which tends to look tatty, frayed or fuzzed with age. Even if the colour  wears unevenly on leather, it just adds more character...bizzare I know, but true! Also for example if you buy a black or brown cloth blazer you can often find that the shade of black and, or the material weave just don't look right or simply clash with same colour trousers, skirt / dress or even some jeans. By comparison, leather just tends to compliment so well almost any material whether in the same colour shade or not.

There are a good choice of colours to suit your shade preference whether you are a man or a woman. We all agree that black and brown are the staple classic choices for both genders. Tan shades from light to dark are also available in men's and ladies blazer jackets styled in leather. Tan has come into its own over the last 3 years in particular with the likes of David Beckham setting a new fashion trend of wearing brown or tan shoes with his England navy blue or grey suit. Tan is actually very easy to wear with most colours and looks particularly great this time of year and yet works fine in the winter too. It has to be said, that ladies do have a much larger colour choice. Red and cherry actually work well with and compliment most colours, and it could be said that these are nearly as versatile as black and brown. Cream and ivory are the understated colours for classic finesse of the Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly style icons .

For the British spring and summer time 2 button and fashioned blazers are best suited, as these tend to be in a tailored slim fit for wear over just a t-shirt of shirt and in women's styles can a shorter length. Hip length blazer jackets tend to be in a comfort come more casual fit to allow for an extra layer and therefore more assocaited with autumn and winter wear, however very useful in UK spring and summer time when temperatures fluctuate. Some longer length blazers come button jackets can also be passed off as short coat jackets, bringing us back to the original point of how very useful a good leather blazer is. All in all a single leather blazer will serve for both smart and casual looks making it a timeless choice.  If you are after a cheap bargain price reduction on a top quality luxury leather blazer then have a look at our online discount sale rail and also main range for low discount prices.
