My go to blue blazer that I exclusively wear with jeans on a regular basis for about 5 years use to be apart of a suit, which I done the opposite, I wore the trousers regularly for work without the jacket and eventually wore them out. Because the jacket is a wool blend, it really goes well with a dark blue pair of jeans with a shirt, thin rollneck or shirt with a thin merino wool crew neck sweater. It has become my main smart casual jacket.

I’ve been so long into this pandemic that I almost forgot people actually wear distressed torn up jeans. I realized how I erased that monstrosity from my memory when I had to cringe when they showed up that “casual” jeans.

You are so right that the jeans must be well fitting to go well with the tailored style of a suit jacket. I pay attention to this and can regularly pull off wearing jeans with the top two thirds of a three piece suit as formal wear.

[BrianPvanOers]

I'd choose a v-neck sweater over a crew neck sweater when wearing it with a button down any day. The combination of a crew neck and a button down is off putting to me.

[jengaaaaa]

Never do this! Just get a casual sports jacket.

[JohnFourtyTwo]

Personally, the best way to avoid this problem is to buy a regular bomber style (or whatever you prefer) jacket that works with jeans instead of going through this mental turmoil about which suit jacket or blazer will work with jeans.

- Keep the suits together when dressing for success.

- Keep the jeans and regular jackets together when dressing for comfort and relaxation.

When you mix the two it looks like you're indecisive and that could send the wrong message to people you're may be trying to impress either on a casual Friday at work or dressed down at night. Just remember, you only get one chance to make a first impression.

This video was extremely helpful! I enjoy wearing jacket with jeans so this information was very helpful .

I am sorry, but that suit jacket does not work with any trousers. Let me explain. I would like to echo the sentiment of Simon Crompton: "In order for a jacket to be matched with denim, the fabric needs to be inherently casual. Worsted wool rarely - if ever - works with denim. The jacket needs to be made from a coarser wool". The looks above may not catch the attention of an untrained eye; and quite frankly, everyone has more pressing matters to keep track of, but this just looks ugly and disjointed, across the whole board.

RMRS will forever be my first choice for tips and advice on how to rock a suit. I don't need to wear a suit, but I love suits and I could watch these videos all day.

[cjmadison]

Don't know if I'm in the minority or not, but if I were to break out a suit jacket, then I would probably wear the entire suit.

[DapperArtImagery]

First point about avoiding breaking the suits too often to avoid uneven fade/wear is new to me but also a good one. Thanks for that

[pabloalarconromero]

I do it everyday and it's my go-to kind of outfit in fall and winter. Sometime I use jeans with and t-shirt(crew neck and well fitted)

[georgelush]

A sport coat or blazer with dark wash jeans is a nice upscale casual look. A suit jacket is much more formal, both in tailoring and material. The contrast in formality between the suit jacket and jeans doesn’t work.

[nicolasmogollon]

I prefer to use a Sport jacket with jeans. But I have some Suits that the pants had a tragedy while the jacket is intact. As a matter of fact today I'm using one of those jackets with jeans.

[scotiadrake]

When I was a teen, I found an old morning coat and used to wear that with jeans all the time... Did I mention I was a teenager? Crimes against fashion don't count for kids, do they?

[ramondulvur]

In my opinion, you have omitted one rule, which is complementary to the "wear more formal jeans", namely: " wear less formal suit jacket". One thing that is a huge no-no in my book is wearing a worsted wool jacket with jeans. Other materials might work: flannel, tweed, velvet, corduroy, chino cotton, linen... All of your looks in the video are jarring for me, and the jacket looks like an orphan.

[windsurfmaui]

Good video. Very helpful more like this please.

[markg.]

No mask, no entry. Suit jacket, and jeans...Nope, "No entry for you either". : )

[blackdranzer]

I wear a Maroon Blazer with White Patern Shirt and Black jeans

[GeorgePatmas]

This was the main look for my chairman of my college program! I ended up liking it and partaking! A nice pair of jeans, and a suit jacket is one of my all time favorite styles to go for. I believe it’s perfect for anything that is a business casual situation.
