Perfect for those who like to get the very most out of their clothing, separates – i.e. combining non-matching blazers and trousers – will not only breathe new life into your existing tailoring collection, but are perfect for creating a wealth of smart-casual or formal looks for a variety of occasions.
However, while anyone can put together two different garments, it takes a little more thought to get your colour and fabric combinations right. So, to ensure you nail your look every time, we’re set to highlight six go-to blazer and trousers pairings that are ideal for the warmer months.
Green & Blue
Forget the age-old rhyme debasing blue and green’s compatibility – for summer, these two shades should definitely be seen together. This non-traditional pairing has really come into its own recently, with British tailoring stalwarts such as Hackett and Gives & Hawkes positioning it as a key colour combination for SS15.
To avoid any garish clashes, stick to shades at the same end of the spectrum; khaki sits well with navy, while a fresh leaf green will complement a softer blue hue perfectly.
Keep accompanying items light and neutral to avoid adding any more layers to this already striking pairing.

Light Grey & Mid Blue
With the summer well and truly upon us, paler shades are a great way to keep your tailored looks feeling fresh.
The combination of light grey and mid blue provides an icy contrast to the blazing sunshine and will work for any occasion, particularly smarter events such as weddings and business meetings.
