If there’s one wardrobe staple that will see you through all seasons, it’s a good jacket.
The blazer has the ability to cover up any outfit that feels in adequate. It can make anyone’s everyday style feel more than what it is – to make any outfit feel polished.
A blazer makes your entrance or appearance feel chic and accomplished even when your confidence is ‘so-so’.
It can dress up the most distressed blues and make a well-worn-in boyfriend jeans look upscale. The plainest dress will feel expensive underneath it. And when you’ve had some kind of an outfit malfunction all you need to do is throw on a blazer and your ensemble is fixed.
Something about it makes any well-heeled wardrobe feel incomplete without it.
There are different styles of blazers and what you choose depends on your destination, your mood, your location, the occasion, your budget as well as the season.
Here’s a round up of blazers that feel timeless, though some may feel like it’s trending and some like it’s harking back to the 80s. Either way, it makes a statement without having to do too much in throwing it together. Effortless, in other words.
Effortless hair and what’s underneath it.
Here’s a roundup of 10 blazers to choose from (or invest in all as wardrobe staples:
The everyday ‘androgynous’ blazer
The casual but chic office blazer
The classic town-and-country tweed done ‘sexy’
A blazer in a bold colour is not ‘loud, it says ‘confident’.
The black single-breasted blazer – a wardrobe staple
Double-breasted blazer – remembering the 80’s but no doubt a classic
The timeless linen jacket – nothing says ‘effortless chic’ like this one
Your ‘go-to’, night-on-the-town jacket in velvet
The cropped jacket – this short blazer does double duty for day and nighttime
The epic suede jacket – with blazer vibes
Conclusion – finding one for every season
These blazers only scratch the surface of how far you can go with building a collection of 1,2 or many. Each style lends itself to multiple versions of style, nuances in the foundational cut, detailing and most importantly colour and fabric (texture). Next time we’ll explore fabrics and how that influences personal expression and everyday wardrobe curation.
