Classic Double Breasted Navy Blazer
There are loads of navy blue blazers to choose from. But hands down my favorite is The Veronica Beard Miller Jacket that’s a best-seller season after season, and this version in transitional suiting and decorative crest buttons is a timeless classic. A slight stretch allows for a comfortable and flexible fit, while the slim tailoring delivers a polished look every time.
One reason I love this classic blazer is that I can wear it in spring, summer, fall, and winter. And Veronica Beard offers a collection of interchangeable dickeys that you can zip and out whenever you want to change the look. This blazer is the ultimate in versatility.
Style Tip #1 Pair with Timeless Basics
Once you’ve selected your navy blazer, the next step is to pair your blazer with timeless basics to create a polished and sophisticated look that will never go out of style. Start with opting for classic pieces like a crisp white button-down shirt or a simple black turtleneck. Black and white and black and navy are a chic color combination.

Additionally, consider incorporating well-fitted jeans or tailored trousers to add a touch of modernity to your ensemble. By pairing your navy blazer with these timeless basics, you can effortlessly elevate your outfit for any occasion.

Style Tip #2 Add a Pop of Color
If you want to inject some personality into your outfit, add a pop of color. Consider incorporating vibrant hues like a bold red handbag, a statement scarf in a bright pattern, or colorful accessories such as a yellow belt. These pops of color will not only add visual interest to your look but also showcase your individual style.
Style Tip #3 Add Accessories
When it comes to accessorizing to impress, think about adding pieces that complement and enhance your navy blazer outfit. Consider incorporating a stylish watch or a chic belt to tie your look together. Accessories are the finishing touches that can truly elevate your outfit and make a statement. Don't be afraid to mix metals or experiment with different textures to add visual interest.

By carefully selecting accessories that complement your navy blazer, you can achieve a polished and sophisticated look that exudes effortless elegance.

I’m in favor of mixing navy and black. But I’ve not yet tried it! Oh well, I guess the t8mr has arrived!
Love the classic Blazers and what you’ve paired elwith them.
I have had a classic navy double breasted Talbots blazer for 20 years! I wear it all the time, mostly with a stripe tee and denim or white, or tan pants. Thanks for some new ideas. I will try a spit of color and black.
