Far from falling out of style, blazers should be a closet staple by now, if all the internal coaxing we’ve done for it is any indication. While always in fashion, a blazer look can get boring fast when worn in the same way time and again. Do this versatile piece some justice and reinvent your blazer dressing by taking all the style inspo below, to heart.
1. Clean in jeans
While we’ve all seen the casual denim jeans and blazer combo, take an unexpected twist to the worn out look by tucking in your blazer, instead. This particularly works best with a double-breasted coat and boyfriend jeans, finished with a pair of pointed mules for a chic, seemingly effortless ‘fit.
2. Suit up!
The no-brainer stylish way to rock your blazer is by buying it with a bottom to match. A fun way to keep from presenting like a stiff corporate crony is by wearing a vibrant colored turtleneck under your suit.
3. Try a blazer dress
Sometimes a sharp blazer dress is all you need to liven up your tired office look. Rule your work week with stockings, combat boots, and a high-neck shirt to frame your dress.
4. Leggings for days!
Before trying on a sporty ensemble, make sure you’re testing it out with a double-breasted blazer for best results. Wrap an industrial-type belt around your waist to accentuate your figure, and complete your outfit with striped leggings and sneakers. Don’t forget your shades to really sell that cool girl, street aesthetic.
5. Wear the pants
If it wasn’t obvious yet, confined gendered dressing is so old news. Seek to wear it better than the men do and pair a considerably oversized blazer with loose trousers and a white button-up for a casual, corporate power woman move. Throw on a belt to a structure the look together.
6. In pleats and frills
Who says you can’t live out a girly fairytale moment in a blazer? Kick those assumptions to the curb and don the fluffiest, tulle skirt you can find. Plus points for the romantic sheer detailing, as seen below.
7. Dress it up
If you’re looking to elevate a simple, straight-shot piece, a good printed blazer should do the trick.
8. Go for the extra-large
Speaking of oversized, when it comes to blazers there’s no such thing as the right fit. Don’t be scared to purchase one a size too big and go for that retro boxy aesthetic, wear a hefty coat with loose palazzo pants, slit at the perfect angle to show off your combat boots.
9. Marathon chic in bike shorts
Looking to ease your way into the bike shorts trend? A stylish entry level pick would actually be to pair these sports tights with a blazer and T-shirt. Complete your casual look with sneakers, and watch your friends treat you like a style maven.
10. Sophisticate your sweatpants
Think joggers are exclusively for lazy Sundays on your couch? Well think again, because we’ve got the coolest trick to dress up a simple pair of black sweatpants. Turns out all you need is a well structured leather blazer, styled together with patent boots, and you’ll quickly transition from couch potato by day, to life of the party by night.
11. Elevate your overalls
Turns out there’s a way to wear your overalls to work. Take inspo from the photo below, and layer a high neck shirt, overalls, and a blazer like it’s nobody’s business. For best results, get your pieces in subdued, pastel hues that make for a fash office looker. Finish with pointed heels or flats for that extra sparkle of sophistication.
