- 1西裝外套(較正式、常有金屬鈕扣;校服胸前有校徽的那種也是)。服飾店常直接說 blazer
A blazer is a smart jacket that is not quite a matching suit jacket. The classic one is navy, with metal buttons, and sometimes a badge on the pocket for a school, a club, or a team. In British and some other school uniforms, the blazer is the jacket with the school sign. Outside school, people wear one to look neat but not too stiff — with trousers that do not have to match. It sits between a hoodie and a full suit. The name comes from blaze in the sense of something that shines out: early sports blazers were bright, almost shouting with colour, so you could spot your team. Though actually, today most blazers are quiet navy or black; the loud striped ones are now the special, old-fashioned kind. An older, separate blazer meant a person who blew a trumpet or made a loud claim; that is not where the jacket sense comes from.
組成blaze (“to shine out; to be easy to spot,” from blaze the flame) + -er. The jacket was named for looking bright. A different, older blazer from “blow / announce” is not this clothing sense.
