How To Style A Blazer

Types of blazers

Ready to up your blazer game? Let's talk about the different types of blazers you can use to make a statement this season.

Single-breasted blazer

Want a blazer look that’s classic but always on trend?  A single-breasted blazer is where it’s at. This timeless piece has a simple design with a single row of buttons and a flattering, streamlined cut.

Double-breasted blazer

Feelin' extra? A double-breasted blazer's a perfect way to show off your vibe, loud and proud. This style showcases a double row of buttons, with wider overlapping lapels.

Cropped blazer

A cropped blazer is one of the most versatile types, great for both casual and formal events. These blazers usually hit right above the waist, giving your outfit an edgy but polished vibe.

Oversized blazer

A oversized blazer, AKA a "boyfriend" blazer, is cut slightly larger than a classic women’s blazer. These are perfect for the trying-but-not-trying vibe.

Faux leather blazer

Faux leather = a look with attitude. Faux leather blazers are made of synthetic materials that give a leather look. They can go a long way in taking your style next-level. Whether you go for a sleek, black design or a bold, bright color, this blazer will def turn heads.

How to style a blazer

The blazer is the ultimate wardrobe chameleon - it can be preppy, workwear, or effortlessly cool, depending on how you style it. While we might all own a blazer, we (unfortunately) don’t have a personal stylist. To spark some inspo, here are 10 ways to style your blazer…

With your favorite T-shirt

Elevate even the most casual ensemble: style an oversized or boyfriend blazer with a plain white tee and straight leg jeans. Or make power dressing easy: pairing a double-breasted blazer and basic tee with matching suit pants.

With pants

Do the wearable workwear trend with relaxed blazers and wide leg pants. Combine oversized pieces with cool accessories like ties, scarves, and statement earrings.

With shorts

For a modern twist on the 2010s indie sleaze vibe: wear a blazer with mini shorts, semi-sheer tights and pointed heels. Little denim cut-offs and a relaxed fit blazer are key to working this casually cool style that blurs the line between underwear and outerwear.

With a dress

The classic blazer-and-dress combo is a versatile look to wear countless ways, from contrasting cropped blazers layered over a sleek midi to checked blazers paired with a simple solid color dress. Its a look that seamlessly transitions from day to night.

Over leggings

Who said blazers are strictly business casual? Leggings and a blazer are the ultimate style hack when you want an easy, elegant look. The slim, streamlined fit of leggings contrasts perfectly with the structured shape of a blazer. And with the right accessories — we’re thinking a chic handbag, minimalist jewelry or a statement belt — you can take this outfit from laid back to luxe in an instant.

With joggers

Dressing comfy isn't just for home: Give athleisure looks a lift by layering a blazer over your coziest joggers for a gym-to-the-office vibe. We recommend classic cuffed joggers or functional straight legs to master the balance of comfort and effortless put-together style.

Under a coat

Oversized outerwear and tailored blazers are a dynamic duo when well styled. Think contrasting cuts, with slouchy or loose-fit women's coats worn open over structured double-breasted blazers for a street-style certified look. Style Hack: The key is to balance proportions and a keep a consistent color palette for a masterfully put-together aesthetic.

With jeans

You’ve probably heard of jeans-and-a-nice top, but don't overlook the equally powerful combination of jeans-and-a-great-blazer. Thanks to its versatility, you can style denim with lots of blazer types, textures, and colors. We love cropped blazers with barrel leg jeans to effortlessly bridge the gap between laid back style and refined elegance. Into the classics? You can’t go wrong with a boyfriend blazer and straight leg jeans.

As a dress

Grab your best belt and cinch your blazer at the waist for an hourglass fit that flatters your shape. We recommend going oversized for maximum coverage that radiates effortless style, without trying at all.

With a pleated skirt

Pleated skirts can be a tricky trend, but styling with a blazer is a great way to blend structure and feminine vibes. Start with a tailored blazer in classic shades like black, navy or cream. A slim fit turtleneck or simple blouse tucked into the skirt works a treat: it creates a streamlined shape that balances the volume of the pleats.

Other blazer outfit ideas

What do we call a blazer with a matching tailored vest and pants? A triple threat. This look is easy to transition from afternoon meetings to evening meetups. Just add sculptural earrings, knee boots and a shoulder bag to put the "out" in outfit. Swap the heels for sneaks or ballerinas and you’ll get two looks in one. Feel like showing a little leg? Add a skort instead of pants. We’re loving this 90s throwback look. Try blazers with joggers, too (don’t forget a baseball cap to top it off). A blazer is your secret weapon, Monday to Sunday.
