Can you wear a blazer with jeans?

YesYes: dark jeans and a navy or grey blazer are the backbone of smart casual.

The reason

Why

A structured jacket sharpens casual denim, and the texture difference keeps it from looking like a half-suit.

How to get it right

Choose a blazer in a different texture (wool, tweed, cotton) and dark, clean jeans.

Exceptions

When the rule bends

Don't use a suit jacket: the fabric looks orphaned without its trousers.
