Hello all,
Longtime Dapper reader, first time poster.
I have a vintage cream-colored Yves Saint-Laurent blazer. It's about a 38r, and fits me quite well. I'm a college student who works blue-collar jobs during the summer, so I only wear it when the weather is cooler, which is okay because it's a thicker jacket.
Here's the problem: it's a bit flashy. Basically, I want to wear this in as restrained a way as possible, so that I get the benefit of a cool, well-fitting vintage jacket without being seen as flash.
Today I wore it with a mint J Crew oxford, Gap selvedge jeans, and (egad) a red-to-rust colored vintage tie featuring ducks (dark tan Levi's belt and matching UO "Hawkings McGill" wingtip boots down below). I realize that is too, too much.
All I'm looking for is suggestions for how to pull off a cream blazer. Do you have a cream blazer, and if so what have you worn it with? Have you worn it to work or school, or just for dinner? Shirt color, tie color, bottom color?
Thanks!
