A well-fitted blazer is the easiest way for a man to look sharp at a wedding, a reception, a Diwali party or the office. With the festive and winter wedding season here, more men are choosing blazers over heavy ethnic sets because they are lighter, easier to style and can be worn again and again. Here is your complete guide to the blazer styles and colours everyone is searching for right now, with our favourite picks from the VJV Now men's blazer collection.
1. Single Breasted vs Double Breasted: Which One Should You Choose?
This is the first question most men ask. A single breasted blazer has one row of buttons and a slimmer front. It is versatile, easy to wear open or closed, and suits almost every body type, so it works for office, parties and weddings. A double breasted blazer has two rows of buttons and a wider, overlapping front. It looks more formal and powerful, and is a strong choice for receptions and evening functions. Double breasted styles look best when kept buttoned and suit taller or lean frames especially well.
Quick rule: if you want one blazer for many occasions, start with single breasted. If you want to stand out at a reception, go double breasted.
2. Jewel Tones for Receptions and Sangeet Nights
Wine, deep green and maroon are the colours of the 2026 wedding season for men. They look rich under evening lights, photograph beautifully and pair well with the jewel-tone outfits women are wearing this year. A jewel-tone blazer with a crisp white or black shirt is an easy, stylish reception look.
3. Earthy Tones for Diwali Parties and Day Functions
Olive, mustard and brown are big for festive dressing. These warm shades feel celebratory without being loud, and they are perfect for Diwali get-togethers, pooja, haldi and mehendi functions. Pair them with a cream, white or light blue shirt and beige or dark trousers.
4. Checks and Stripes for Cocktail and Party Looks
Pattern blazers are back. Subtle checks and stripes add texture and personality, and they help you look put-together even with simple trousers and a plain shirt. Keep the rest of the outfit solid so the blazer remains the focus.
5. Light and Pastel Blazers for Day Weddings
White, cream, sky blue and light green blazers are trending for daytime weddings, engagements, roka ceremonies and destination functions. They look fresh in sunlight and stand out in photos. Pair with light trousers and loafers for a relaxed, elegant look.
6. Classic Neutrals Every Man Should Own
If you are building your wardrobe, start with neutrals. Grey, beige and black blazers work for interviews, office meetings, family functions and parties. They go with almost every shirt and trouser, so one blazer gives you many outfits.
7. Statement Colours for the Confident Dresser
For the groom's brother, the best friend or anyone who loves to stand out, bold shades like red, mustard and tan brown make a memorable statement at sangeet, cocktail and party nights. Keep the shirt simple and let the blazer do the talking.
How a Blazer Should Fit
- Shoulders: the shoulder seam should end exactly where your shoulder ends, with no drooping or pulling
- Sleeves: about half an inch of shirt cuff should show below the blazer sleeve
- Length: the blazer should cover your seat (back) and end around the middle of your hand when your arms hang down
- Buttoning: when buttoned, there should be no X-shaped creases across the front
- Button rule: on a two-button single breasted blazer, fasten the top button and leave the bottom one open
Our blazers are made with a lightweight knitted polyester-viscose fabric in a structured fit, with snug shoulders and tapered sleeves, so they stay comfortable through long functions.
