Wow, a fashion article that has photos that look like me instead of a model built like a 13 yr old boy! Thank you!
If there’s one garment that adds instant polish to any ensemble, it’s a blazer. Worn over everything from jeans to skirts and dresses to even shorts, it adds the perfect element of sophistication for work or for play. The beauty of a blazer is the way it instantly transforms an outfit—a casual ensemble can become a chic statement just by adding a tailored blazer, or a bold-colored jacket can make a formal look much less stuffy!
I buy blazers everywhere from Target to thrift stores, Nordstrom to vintage boutiques. Here are a few of my favorites, worn as looks you can try for your workday or the weekend.
For Day to Night: Mustard, Emerald, & Leopard
As I like to say, there aren’t any rules when it comes to mixing colors—so why not mix in a print as well? This look is professional enough for day, but the pumps make it fun enough for night.
Blazer: Zara
For a Party: Sequins & Pleats
The holidays are over, but that doesn’t mean you can’t still wear shiny, glamorous sequins! To downplay the sparkle factor, opt for sequins in muted colors, like army green or navy blue.
Blazer: Vintage
For Casual Friday: Instant Chic
The easiest way to go chic in an instant? Throw a blazer over your favorite jeans and top.
Blazer: Forever 21
For Brunch With the Ladies: Conjuring Fall
When it comes to wearing a staple time and time again, playing with fabrics and colors is the key. This blue velvet blazer is a unique twist on the classic, but it’ll always be in fashion.
Blazer: Thrifted
For a Date: Nighttime Basics
Dressing-up classic denim is my favorite fashion pastime. When all else fails, throw on your fave pair of jeans and add nighttime basics: a blazer and pumps!
