A Tailored Blazer: The Perfect Fit
Two decades or so ago, we all collectively functioned under the assumption that blazers were strictly for sharp, formal, all-business outfits only. Instead, they were clean and structured and could only be paired with crisp white button-downs, black pencil skirts, and patent leather pumps.
Thank goodness we’ve moved well past that era.
Nowadays, a tailored blazer is as versatile as any clothing accessory. Throw it over basic wardrobe essentials to look more put-together. Pair it with a poofy dress to downplay the frills. Wear it over a sleeveless, form-fitting top and leather jeans to blend into an office environment, then trade it for a full face of makeup and some killer heels for dinner and drinks.
Seriously, we love a well-tailored blazer. And after you see the inspo outfits we’ve listed below, we’re certain you’ll feel the same.
Look #1: Business Casual
Let’s start with a tasteful, timeless classic that can never go out of style. Layer a black blazer over a solid-white button-down or blouse, then add black slacks for a coordinated finish.
Alternatively, try a white or cream-coloured blazer with a crisp turtleneck top in the dark, muted colour and balance it out with white linen or wide-legged jeans. You’ll look and feel powerful with every step.
Try:
HELDA Fitted Cinched Waist Blazer in black and FRANCESCA Crew Neck Short Sleeve Bodysuit in cream. Top it off with flared or wide-legged slacks. The seamless tuck will create a clean, office-ready silhouette that also flatters your curves.
Look #2: Elevate Your Everyday
Take suiting to new levels with something less business-coded and more stylishly contemporary. Up your layering game by wearing a half-open button-down over a basic, solid-coloured tee. Tuck into high-waisted jeans and finish with a fresh, tailored blazer. It’s effortless fashion in the best way.
Or jump onto the oversized separates trend and create a beautifully contrasted silhouette with a drop-shoulder blazer one (or two) sizes too large, a crop top, and form-fitting leggings. Styles come and go, but the beautiful fit-and-baggy combo always slays.
Try:
ROSANA Oversized Cinched Blazer in wheat paired with SAFFRON Longline Top in blush pink for a light, summer-ready look. Or go bold and baggy with the ARNA Oversized Belted Blazer in blush pink contrasted with a sleeveless cropped top and TYRA Straight Leg Faux Leather Pants in black or cherry chocolate.
Look #3: Desk to Dinner
It’s Friday. If you aren’t unwinding after work with a nice, relaxing bubble bath or a movie marathon, you’re probably going to hit the resto-and-bar scene once the clock strikes six.
Keep your outfit fashionably eye-catching even after office hours with a cropped blazer and statement jewellery. Or go for a super slouchy blazer cut in fabric that drapes over your form and pair with a bralette plus your best party jeans.
Try:
MAEVA Satin Blazer in black and ROMEE Mini Skirt in black for a beautiful satin-matte combo. Wear with a deep V-neck top underneath for an extra flirty touch. Or pair up BECKY Shimmer Oversized Blazer Dress in aquamarine with CYNTHIA Triangle Bralette in steel blue to really stand out.
