Truly Business Casual

Part of it is laid-back and cool, the other is uptight and demanding.  Put the two together and you have a confident, kick-ass look. The combo brings "opposites attract" to a whole new level.

The t-shirt adds what the blazer most often lacks, a punch.  A suit jacket is often just one color with a few buttons and a pocket, which is quite bland.  The addition of the t-shirt gives the outfit color, design, and a more urban feel.

Also, the look is very now and simple.  Anyone can pull it off with their wardrobe basics.  All you need is your day-to-day blazer and your day-to-day t-shirt.  Beyond that, it is not a seasonal look.  It is wearable for winter, spring, and fall.   But it might be a little stuffy for summer.

Blazer and 'T's has always been a popular look with rock stars.  Icon bands such as the Rolling Stones are famous for first putting this look together.  Since then, more modern bands have dawned the look like Anberlin, Muse, and Kaiser Chiefs. 

Also, it has become a favorite look for many celebrities.  Stars enamored with the look include Ashley Olsen, Gwyneth Paltrow, Nicole Hilton, Taylor Swift, Heidi Klum, and Sandra Bullock.

This look gives an air of effortless style and funk.  It's easy enough to find, personaliz, and pull off.  A blazer and t-shirt is really "business casual".
