The Blazer Is Your Wardrobe’s Secret Weapon

These tailored numbers are made for both business and pleasure.

The more relaxed sister of the suit jacket, a blazer maintains a sleek cut while embodying a casual air, lending a poised yet laid-back finish to any outfit. Yet this piece of clothing is often overlooked. A versatile item, the blazer can often be dressed up or down; it’s a great investment that can take you from work to play.

Other reasons why you should consider adding it to your rotation:

It shows people that you mean business.

A well-cut blazer gives off #GirlBoss vibe instantly. Whether paired with trousers or a midi skirt, the whole ensemble makes you look professional and polished.

It flatters every body type

Blazers come in all forms and sizes. The most important thing is to find one that fits your body shape. Opt for darker colours if you want to look slim and tall. If you’re on the petite side, consider one that ends just at your hipbones. Any longer and you could look frumpy.

Other details to look out for include the length of the sleeve and the size of the lapel — a wider lapel gives the illusion of a bigger chest.

A good blazer can give you endless possibilities. Designers this season have shaken things up with remixes that go well with every style. 

The amalgam of looks shows one thing: A blazer elevates any outfit—whether it’s loungewear, athleisure, an all-biz get-up or ladylike looks.

Here are some of our favourites:

For the bold, look to Emporio Armani: Opt for a blazer and accessories in a vivid hue and wear it sans shirt.
