Mannr’s Ask a Stylist: My black blazer is collecting dust in my closet
Is your workplace moving towards a casual dress code? Are your suits collecting dust in your closet? Ryan, a recent Mannr customer, had this problem after leaving his consulting job for a startup.
He worked with his Mannr stylist Valeriya for some ideas on how he can wear his black blazer in some more casual ways around the office and to drinks after work around the city. Here are the results, enjoy!

Look #1
Access to outfit:
Valeriya’s styling notes:
“This is an example of a classic blazer being woven into a casual outfit. Black plays well with bright focal points as it balances the attention — in this case, red elements on a T-shirt and sneakers. Feel free to style with denims of any type of wash or replace them completely with sweatpants for a more sporty look.”
Look #2
Access to outfit:
Valeriya’s styling notes:
“This combination of classic pieces in simple fabrics is perfect for a relaxed day at work and drinks afterwards, informal meeting or any casual party. Neutral color palette lets you choose between a wide range of outerwear and accessories: wool coat and leather jacket will both look equally good, sneakers can be easily replaced with leather boots or even loafers. Layering is also an option. Feel free to add a thin V-neck sweater on top of the shirt in grey or earthly shade.”
Look #3
Access to outfit:
Valeriya’s styling notes:
“Relaxed interpretation of such a classic piece as black blazer requires several accents. Here we’ve set the mood by adding a bright-yellow worn-in layer and wool trousers in a loose shape.”
