I’ve always gravitated toward classic styles so I’m very excited that blazers are trending this fall. Blazers traditionally get a bad rap for being “stuffy” — I think because they are commonly thought of as a key component of a suit. That doesn’t have to be the case! A blazer can be worn in a non-traditional way that is still trendy and chic. Let me show you how!
For a mostly casual dresser like myself, a blazer can instantly elevate a simple tee shirt and jeans look (which is pretty much my daily style) into a dressier outfit with very little effort. Because it’s paired with denim it’s casual enough to wear to an evening out with friends. Depending on the vibe you want, you can wear it with sneakers or heels. Pairing a blazer with sleek, dark-wash, skinny jeans will have a preppy East-Coast vibe whereas distressed denim will feel much more laid-back, Southern California style. Denim cut-off shorts are another great option to wear with a blazer too!
A second way to wear a blazer is with a dress. The trick to keeping the outfit from looking like office attire is to wear it with a body-skimming dress. This is a great look for an after work cocktail party or business casual evening event.
I’ve included my favorite blazers of the moment in the widget below. Which look would you wear?
