Looking for a few blazers. This time, I want to spend the money it takes to buy sharp, undeniably good-looking ones, unlike my usual miserly tendencies. I have some very important meetings I'll be going to and travelling for towards the end of this month and next... I would love some recommendations from you all. I live in Austin, Texas, for reference, but I'm open to online store recs too!

heck Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, or try MM.LaFleur’s online styling (with at-home try-on). Also, Theory has impeccable tailoring, classic cuts, and I feel like wrinkle-resistant fabrics, because all of my stuff from there doesn't ever have wrinkles on it.

There are many brands out there, so I won’t go over that. But find a good tailor. Usually the ones at the designer shops (Gucci, Prada, Zegna) will have excellent people in house. As will stores like Neiman Marcus and Saks. But one VERY important thing—MAKE SURE THE CUFF BUTTONS ARE FUNCTIONAL. If not, make sure then tailor is told expressly to make them work. This is a huge thing for me. I think people look dumb when the cuff buttons aren’t functional. (Wow, I haven’t used “dumb” in a sentence is a while…)

If you're a guy, look at Sid Mashburn's ghost blazer. Very light and breathable wool with a high twist weave that creases fall out of. Mashburn is based out of Atlanta so the brand knows about how to dress for hot southern weather.
