THE NAVY BLAZER

 

 

UNLESS YOU IS IN NICKELBACK, CREED, OR SOME OTHER SUPERCOOL ROCK ’N’ ROLL BAND, YOU PROBABLY NEED ONE OF THESE.

ASKING WHY THE NAVY BLAZER IS SO IMPORTANT IS LIKE ASKING THE MEANING OF LIFE. I HAVE NO IDEA, BUT TRUST ME ON THIS ONE. THE NAVY BLAZER IS A BIT MORE APPROPRIATE FOR THE BIZNESS WORLD: A NAVY BLAZER AND CHARCOAL-GRAY SLACKS ARE A LITTLE LESS FORMAL THAN A REAL SUIT. I USUALLY WEAR MY NAVY BLAZER WITH A SHIRT UNDERNEATH.

NEVER WEAR A NAVY BLAZER WITH KHAKI TROUSERS—A HORRIBLE COMBINATION THAT WAS ESTABLISHED AFTER WORLD WAR II.

WHO GIVES A FUCK? NOBODY.

SOME OF MY FAVORITE ARTICLES OF CLOTHING HAPPEN TO BE POORLY CONSTRUCTED PIECES OF SHIT. ACTUALLY, I PREFER IRREGULAR CLOTHING TO FIRST QUALITY. THAT IMPERFECTION MAKES THE PIECE MINE AND MINE ALONE.
