Dressing sharply and elegantly is an acquired skill that is well worth learning. Looking one's best helps gain attention in personal, professional interactions and social circles. A well-dressed man is naturally self-confident and commands respect in any situation. This boosts his personality and communication skills exponentially. Apart from this, well-cut and formal attire exudes comfort and is lightweight, making it easy to focus on business lunches or events without discomfort. Choosing fine-quality formal men's jackets or blazers conveys a message of professionalism and makes a statement of maturity and elegance! Business Traveller India spotlights some of the iconic global brands that showcase timeless and sophisticated formal jackets and blazers for business events or social functions and can be paired up with formal trousers or even jeans!
