The fashion industry has an everlasting demand for renewal. It wants, of course, to sell you new garments every season. Although once and a while an innovation can become part of permanent style, the push to "make it new" often leads to amusing results. The very short and excessively slim jacket that has been in vogue the last couple of years most certainly belongs to the latter category.

Firmly placed in the centre of the ever growing field of casual wear stands the blazerA usually dark navy single or double breasted jacket with brass or horn buttons., and the popularity of this individual jacket seems to be eternal. Not too formal, not too casual, hardly ever out of place, almost never wrong. Dressed in a dark blue blazer with grey flannel trousers, brown brogues and a sharp white shirt and colourful tie, one may confidently think oneself dressed for whatever the day will bring.
