For formal occasions you have the dinner jacket, but what
about those other Christmas gatherings?
Try the velvet blazer – this looks cool and elegant with
dress pants and a crisp white shirt, but can also look hot and stylish worn
with jeans or chinos.
Velvet is a luxurious fabric originally made from silk, worn
by the rich elite and associated with royalty. But now velvet can be made with
more affordable fabrics such as cotton and rayon. Cotton velvet has a softer sheen and is more
durable so great for the velvet blazer.
Charles Tyrwhitt two button jacket is 100% cotton with peak
lapels, natural corozo working buttons and fully lined. Promotional price of £159 (was £320)

Like life, not everything is black and white for monochrome. There is the grey area for a softer look. Great
for those of you who find black too harsh against the skin or just too dramatic.
