Mens blazers are one of the major sensation in mens fashion. While the usual navy and charcoal blazers continue to dominate the formal world some of the patterned ones are also starting to make the cut. Blazers mostly used for casual events are now being used for formal and semi formal events too. There are a lot of styles to try in the blazer s and the fashionable pattern in available in different iterations. In this article we discuss about blazer s and why you need to get one for yourself that is if you already don't have one. Tartan is not a new fashion to menswear that suddenly popped out. The pattern has been in style for long time and seems to never go out of style. What's surprising more is that the pattern seems to be a favorite among men of all generations. Some might confuse plaids with tartans but there is a subtle difference that sets them apart. While the lines in the plaids run dominantly in the horizontal and vertical direction it is not case with tartans. The tartan pattern will be perfectly symmetrical and even if you turn the garment the pattern will remain the same. The tartans have a rich history and was also seen to be the symbol of rebellion and sophistication. The tartan has a Scottish origin where the different tartans signify different clans. Till date there are over 7000 tartans and in the past these patterns had special meanings that signified their clan for the people. As for the rebellion nature of the garment you can see a exhibit item of tartan frock coat with velvet collar and cuffs un the national Museum of Scotland. While the exhibit looks surprisingly modern it is in fact 272 years old. This tartan frock coat was worn by Bonnie prince Charlie when he attempted to get back the British crown from the Protestant rulers. Prince Charlie was a scot and this to affirm his Scottish identity he wore the tartan pattern. Since then the tartan pattern is considered to be the symbol of rebellion and was even for a time banned from wearing. Coming back to the mens blazers there are different styles that you can try out depending on the event for which you are styling the garment. For example if you want a formal and subtle outfit then you can go with blackwatch blazers. For casual styles you can go with a little more bolder and vibrant shades of blazers.
