Blazers are no longer just for stuffy offices or preppy ensembles; they are quickly becoming one of the most essential wardrobe staples. This versatile outerwear piece can be worn on almost any occasion, no matter if you’re going on a job interview or you’re running errands. A classic blazer can elevate your sweatpants (yes, really!) or seamlessly blend with a cute mini dress for a night out. But no matter where you’re going, you can take your outfits to the next level with these interesting and creative ways to wear a blazer.
Pair it with jeans
Let’s start with a casual look. Try matching your favorite blazer with a cute pair of jeans. Loose-fitting or straight leg, your blazer will look great all the same. On top, you can layer a plain white tee or a cute graphic t-shirt underneath the structured coat. Or, if you want to dress it up a little bit more, wear a basic turtleneck with your jeans for a simple business casual look. When you’re creating your outfit, make sure to pay attention to the fit of each individual piece. If you match an oversized blazer with a loose-fitting tee and slouchy jeans, your outfit may overpower your frame. Instead, try to create balance in your look by combining fitted and loose-fitting pieces.
Create a comfortable outfit
Blazers also look great with athleisure wear. A tailored jacket can elevate your casual outfit and make even your comfiest sweats look chic. Layer a cute blazer over a matching sweatsuit. Or, you can wear it with your favorite sweatshirt or t-shirt and bike shorts, leggings, or sweatpants. And don’t forget your favorite sneakers! With this extra layer, your whole ensemble will look more put-together, and enjoy a polished look while staying comfy.
