Blazers themselves take up a lot of space and also lead to increased and unnecessary weight.

A classic example of this is a white tee and a pair of blue jeans. You can team it up as a casual outfit as it is. The next day, you can just add another oversized denim or printed jacket over it. That is going to completely change the look. Different accessories and scarves can also do the magic for you. In fact, a white tee is so basic that you can also experiment with other pants from your collection, even if they are bright colored.
