But, what is a blazer exactly?

Isn’t a blazer just a suit jacket?

Actually, blazers are similar to suit jackets. They are not the same. The main difference is the way they’re cut: blazers have a looser fit and, therefore, are considered less formal.

Suit jackets were originally worn for formal black-tie events, like galas, weddings, and ceremonies. For white-tie events, these suits were replaced with tuxedos. Blazers, on the other hand, were originally made for sporting events, school uniforms, and business casual ensembles.

The second difference is that suit jackets are part of a suit. Blazers, however, don’t necessarily have matching pants and may not be part of a set.
