Men's Velvet Blazers for Weddings, Proms & Evening Events
A velvet blazer is the easiest way to add richness and occasion to an outfit. The soft, light-catching finish makes velvet a natural choice for evening weddings, proms, parties, Christmas events and any occasion where you want to stand out. Wear a classic black or navy velvet jacket for understated luxury, or choose a jewel tone such as green, wine or purple to make more of a statement.
Velvet Blazer Colours
Our velvet blazers come in classic black and navy alongside richer shades including green, wine, purple, pink, red and blue, so you can keep it timeless or add a bolder touch of colour for evening events.
Velvet Blazer or Dinner Jacket?
A velvet blazer can be worn as smart eveningwear with tailored trousers, while a formal velvet dinner jacket is styled specifically for black-tie occasions with a dress shirt and bow tie. Some of the jackets in this collection are velvet dinner jackets and also appear in our men's dinner jackets collection. If you're after a complete black-tie outfit, see our men's tuxedos.
How to Style a Velvet Blazer
Let the velvet be the star and keep everything else simple. Pair a velvet blazer with plain black tailored trousers, a crisp dress shirt and a bow tie or slim tie. Finish with polished or patent shoes such as loafers or Oxfords. Because velvet already has plenty of texture and sheen, avoid busy patterns elsewhere in the outfit.
