Do you have a blue blazer? Do you love it? It might be time for an upgrade.

Spring’s Best Navy Blazers

There are a handful of menswear pieces that feel truly permanent, and the navy blazer sits near the top of the list. It never really disappeared, of course, but lately it’s looking especially sharp again. Skip the long naval backstory and the country-club clichés: today’s versions feel lighter, easier and far less precious. The blazer may once have been shorthand for prep-school privilege, but in 2026 it’s been stripped back to the essentials—unlined, unstructured and cut from relaxed fabrics like washed cotton twill, corduroy and breezy wool blends that actually make sense once the weather warms up.

Our Picks

A softly structured sport coat with zero padding, a natural shoulder and a slightly nipped waist.

Knit blazer,
$698 by Todd Snyder

 

Part of the JW Anderson collaboration, the fabric is lightweight and a little stretchy and plenty breathable.

JW Anderson x UNIQLO AirSense blazer,
$99.90 by UNIQLO

 

The brand sources the fabric for this classic gold-button blazer from Vitale Barberis Canonico in Italy.

Legacy blazer,
$448 by J.Crew

 

Cut from a breathable medium weight wool fabric with a tight, textured weave.

Havana blazer,
$449 by Suitsupply

 

Knitted in Ireland from a soft cashmere and cotton-blend, the relaxed fit gives the double-breasted jacket a casual vibe.

Inis Meáin Double-breasted blazer,
$995 at MR PORTER

5 Stylish Items to Buy This Week

What time is it? Time for Pickleball, according to the world’s most famous beagle. Timex’s classic Marlin timepiece gets a dose of personality with a pickleball-themed dial featuring Snoopy mid-swing ($249). The 38mm case keeps things vintage-leaning and wearable, while the leather strap balances the whimsy with some grown-up polish. Inside, you’ve got the dependable mechanics Timex is known for; outside, a conversation starter that’s charming without being kitschy.

The best story from around the web.

 

Polishing wheel was off limits, dented and faded aluminum bezel inserts commanded sky-high premiums, and the word ‘tropical’ was part of the vocabularies of people who had never set foot in the Caribbean.”
