Modern sport coats and blazers have functionally taken a couple of diverging paths as American fashion became much more casual in modern decades. As a result, sport coats and blazers have evolved in a more casual direction as well. Softer shoulders, half or quarter-lining, and shorter and slimmer cuts are predominant in many men’s jackets today. While classic blazers and sport coats paired with a dress shirt still have a place in every man’s wardrobe, a softcoat can be perfect for a business-casual office environment, where suits aren’t necessary but projecting a professional image is. Westport Big & Tall has partnered with a range of menswear designers to curate a collection of blazers perfect for the boardroom or the dinner room.
