  1. Suit jacket — We all know what a suit is. So the jacket that comes in a suit is a suit jacket. The fabric used in both jacket and trousers is exactly the same. It usually comes with a tight fit. This one is the most formal of all listed above.

  1. Blazer — It looks quite a lot like a suit jacket. But it does not come with a matching pants. So you can wear it with chinos or even jeans. The line of distinction between suit jacket and blazer is quite slim. You can consider it as semi-formal.
