blazers

Lightweight tailored jackets

Blazers are lightweight, tailored jackets, typically solid-colored or with bold stripes.

Originally associated with British sports clubs and schools, they now serve as smart-casual attire: He threw on a navy blazer for the interview.

The name likely comes from the bright, "blazing" colors of early examples. (Capitalized Blazers refers to the Portland Trail Blazers.)
