Distinguishing blazers from jackets in suits 

#TeachingsTuesdays

A blazer is a less formal overcoat intended to be worn with different or unmatched trousers. They are either non-padded or minimally padded to give them a casual look.

A jacket or suit jacket is more formal and intended to be worn with matching trousers, chinos, or jeans. They are pretty stiff and structured when compared to Blazers. 

However, there is not much difference in terms of single or double breasts and lapel styles among these two types of overcoats.
