If there’s one article of clothing a guy should never be without — aside from the basic white shirt — it’s the blue blazer. More versatile than black, blue can be paired with almost anything and a blue blazer can go from casual to dressy to corporate, depending on what you wear it with. Coconuts Manila shopped around for the chicest pieces available locally.
