blue blazer

Preppy suit top

A blue blazer is a navy blue jacket with a somewhat formal, preppy connotation—the uniform of country clubs, private schools, and business casual settings.

Unlike suit jackets, blazers are worn with non-matching trousers: He threw on a blue blazer and khakis for the interview.

The style signals a certain conventional respectability.
