Striped Sport Coats and Blazers For Men

Mens striped blazers are rare, but are offered by a number of business casual brands. Overall, sriped sportcoats can add some character to an otherwise dull sportcoat while still keeping a proper appearance. However, this all depends on the color and type of stripe employed.

Stripse on a men's sportcoat should almost blen in with the rest of hte jacket untill the observer is up close. They should be quite thin, and close in color to the overall color of the sportcoat. Subtle stripes such as these can create a fashionable look for the wearer while still maintainng a level of formality that is required for the occasion. On the other hand, wide stripes or stripes that contrast in color with the rest of the sport coat can make the sportcoat stand out too much and cause observers to conjure up images of prison inmates. For most business and work setting where a sportcoat is appropriate, standing out like this is not desirable, so make sure you choose a striped sportcoat with subtle stripes.
