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.
