Raf Simons introduced the sleeveless blazer a few seasons back and it was one of those things you see and think, well isn't that nice. He cut the sleeves off the blazer to save money. And it's classic but different. It's perfect for that design guy who doesn't attend budget meetings or the guy who doesn't have to go to court and defend a murderer. The sleeveless blazer (aka. the slazer) is perfect for someone in a creative field like a designer, architect or freelancing something or other. It's funny how an artsy guy is given carte blanche to wear whatever he wants so long as he says it's because it's a part of his artistic vision. Not bathing and greasy hair also seems to be a part of being an artist.
Luckily I'm not a Jackson Pollock. I dabble in Picasso, but that's about it.
So Raf Simons' slazer put me on the fence, especially since it's trending. It's been in every runway out there this past fall, so it's on tipping point level. I want to think that I'm an early trend adopter, but I'm not a responsible lawyer or a banker, but I'm not changing the world through art and music either. And I think the new slazer is embarrassingly intriguing.It's cool and lets my arm pits breathe. More importantly, it lets me show off my guns. Sure I'm just a pistol compared to Michelle Obama's two shotguns, but they're decent enough for a slazer.
If you see me on the street rocking the slazer in all its glory, don't shoot!
YES: If you're confident enough to show off your guns, then flex your style muscles
NO: If you are a lawyer or a total square
MAYBE: If you think of the slazer as just another vest, then you're a okay
