If you seperate a suit jacket from the trousers, feel free to include it.

I have an olive one and a black one; the latter isn't as useful as I thought. I'm curious to see what other people own.

I own two cheap suits my mom got me when I was in High School in the late 80s.  I've also got a couple of USAF "Blues" suit jackets.  I never wear any of these things.  If I have to dress up for like a funeral or a wedding, I put on my best 501s and button up my flannel.

I find men that enjoy dressing up to be weird.

The only sports clothing I have are two shirts for the MLB and AA teams around here, both in terrible condition.

The definition of blazer has been clarified. I don't own any of those.

voted 3-5.

I actually wore a tan corduroy blazer today.  There's also a grey one and a navy blue one of the normal material, and an olive greenish one which is felt.  I wear one a couple of times per week during the in-between season.  It's just now cool enough, but not so cold that I need a big jacket.

I also have a couple of suits but I hardly ever wear them.

One suit plus a few sport jackets to pair with odd trousers. I'm a huge fan of jackets.

I think the "sport" in "sports jacket" is confusing some people.

Two, one dark blue and one dark green. The dark green one doesn't fit right; it belonged to my grandfather.

Two: one for winter and one for summer, although the winter one is pretty old and probably doesn't fit anymore.

Ok everyone, listen up. A sport jacket/blazer is a garment typically worn over a collared shirt. It resembles a suit jacket except it is cut differently and it does not come with matching pants.

I.e. sports jacket is what Jeremy Corbyn wears in preference to a suit. The standard American English term (which maybe you would be more familiar with) for the same article of clothing is sports coat. Often they are made of tweed. Over here a blazer would indicate that it has brass buttons.

I wear a jacket and tie more days than not. I prefer them to suits, which I might wear only a couple of times per month. I have over a dozen jackets of different weight and styles, along with three suits and a tux. Typically only half of them are appropriate to a given season, but they all get worn over the course of a year. Among the jackets are two blue blazers, two Harris tweeds, a couple of light linens, a suede, a camel hair, and a few other wool solids and patterns.
