Help with styling this blazer?

I saw this velvet blazer today in Next. It also comes in black. Black would be the easy option as I have everything at home that would work with it but I am really drawn to the burgundy. I don’t like the trousers to match it though. I’d wear jeans but I am not sure if I should go with black or blue which then has a knock on with shoes etc. I have a cream camisole that would definitely go with the black but I am not sure about the burgundy. Any thoughts? I have 2 birthday parties in November then it’s silly season so I will get plenty use out of it.

Oh bless you, I guess if you don’t see people wearing WHU kit (or indeed Aston Villa) all the time, you probably wouldn’t make the connection!

I dont, feel an idiot now ha ha

Don't be put off. I actually like the colours together. I'd wear them day time though. I only knew the West Ham connection through Eastenders I think!

It's nasty polyester, I wouldn't go near it.

£66 is nothing for a brand new blazer. It won't last, you'd be better off looking for something off Vinted.

Thank you for your input however that's not what I asked, nor what I want.

I have a black velvet blazer, very similar, soft structure. I wear with black or blue skinny jeans, a black or white camisole or a roll neck. I've also worn with a leather skirt or red tartan shorts for Christmas!

Marks ususally do some lovely structured velvet blazers. I love the midnight blue ones.
