Grey does something no other blazer color can quite manage. It sits between the formality of navy and the casualness of tan, which means it handles more situations without looking like it’s trying to cover too much ground. The right grey blazer goes over a white shirt for dinner, over a crew neck for the weekend, and over nothing but a t-shirt when you want to look like you thought about it without looking like you tried. We’ve spent real time on this one because the category is full of blazers that photograph well and wear badly. Fabric matters here more than most men realize. A flat, lifeless grey reads cheap in a way that a well textured wool or flannel simply does not. We’ve been drawn to mid to light greys with enough depth to hold up in different lights. These are the ones we reach for when we’re not sure what else to wear and that’s exactly the point.
