The blazer has evolved from its boardroom roots to become a true closet staple. More polished than a cardigan and a lighter layer than a trench coat, it is the solution to any outfit fix. Whether you go for a traditional blue blazer with a white t-shirt and jeans, an oversize linen design with leather shorts or a tiny skirt, or even sweatpants like Tracee Ellis Ross, there are no boundaries to how you may wear a blazer. We’ve put together six ensembles to show you how to make the most of a fantastic blazer.
1. Combine with… A Burst of Color
A white shirt, black blazer, and high-heeled shoes can never fail you on a day when you don’t know what to wear. If you add vivid color to the mix, you’ll get bonus points.
2. Neutrals are a good choice.
Even after Labor Day, monochromatic wearing is as fresh as ever, and we love the notion of topping an all-white ensemble with a crisp jacket (hey, if it is good enough for Princess Diana…).
3. Wear with a Silk Set
A jacket worn over a feminine evening gown achieves the ideal balance of masculine and feminine, as Bianca Jagger knows.
4. Wear Sweatpants
Welcome to your one-stop-shop for airport outfits, Zoom uniforms, and early morning coffee runs. Sweatpants can be dressed up with a long-cut blazer and high-top sneakers.
