My client has a very casual dress code. Any recommendations for a casual blue blazer?

If it’s very casual, why are you wearing a blazer? From my experience clients tend to be a little off out if you’re the only one walking around in a blazer. Could come off as a little condescending.

That’s not very casual, that’s business casual. Suit up son.

Thanks for the input, A2 & kpmg1. You've convinced me to pull the trigger on that patch pocket number.

So when I say casual I mean everyone wears chinos and a blazer. Any recommendations you guys might have?

I've been considering that Suit Supply Havana (in a different fabric) that @kpmg1 linked. Does anyone else think the patch pockets are too casual, or am I overthinking it?

I like patch pockets on a blazer. Flap pockets would make me paranoid that I look like I'm wearing half a suit.

I do patch pockets on even my business suits. Even though they’re the most casual, they’re also the most versatile and make for great separates.

Where does a blazer fit in a very casual dress code? You want to dress 1 notch up, but blazer seems several.

I work for a small agency and manage our internal marketing acct. We had very few processes in place when I started. I’ve since created, implemented, and trained our dept. on project mgmt for clients and am trying to convince the owner to apply those principles to our internal jobs. They are resistant because they just want the work to be done and don’t “want to keep spending money on internal jobs”. I’m confused because we’re doing the work either way and “spending” in labor/resources.
