Whether thrown over a dress, worn with tailored trousers or elevating a pair of jeans, a blazer is a sartorial failsafe. Perennially cool, the right style can prop up your wardrobe all year round.
The tailored piece is ubiquitous in women’s wardrobes – from oversized styles popularised by The Row and The Frankie Shop to tailored silhouettes for the office – and is loved for its easy versatility. The wardrobe staple is loved as a lightweight jacket during the summer months and a smart layering staple in the winter.
As for this season, fitted styles that cinch you in around the waist are big news (styled with baggy jeans for a nice contrast). Elsewhere, the style set are wearing inflated silhouettes with A-line maxi skirts and brightly coloured designs (think red and yellow). For something classic though, you can’t go wrong with a black or grey blazer (you’ll find yourself wearing it again and again). If you need a helping hand to find one that’ll easily slot into your wardrobe, keep reading.
