Blazer Style Guide
If there’s one piece in my closet I can always count on, it’s my blazer. Whether I’m heading to a networking event, grabbing dinner with my book club, or going on a lunch date with my husband, it’s the first thing I reach for. A great blazer instantly pulls an outfit together, makes me feel confident, and works for just about any occasion.
Why Blazers Are a Classic
Blazers have stood the test of time because they add instant polish to any outfit. They’re structured yet comfortable, making them the perfect layering piece for any season. You don’t have to be in a business setting to wear one—pair it with jeans and sneakers for a casual, chic look or dress it up with heels and tailored pants. Trends may come and go, but a well-fitted blazer never goes out of style.
How to Style Your Blazer
Casual Chic: Layer over a simple tee with jeans and sneakers.
Polished & Professional: Pair with a button-down shirt and tailored trousers.
Effortless Elegance: Throw it over a cami with slim-fit pants and delicate jewelry.
Seasonal Transition: Wear with a lightweight sweater in cooler months or over a breezy dress in warmer weather.
My Go-To Look
We all have those moments—walking into a room full of strangers, stepping into a meeting where you feel a little out of your league, or just not feeling 100% that day. But I swear, when I put on a blazer, I feel put together, confident, and ready to take on whatever comes my way. It’s like an instant confidence boost. My go-to outfit? A blazer with a casual top, sneakers, and simple jewelry. Need to dress it up? Swap in a button-down or sleek cami.
Choosing the Right Color for Your Season
If you follow seasonal color analysis, choosing a blazer that complements your natural tones will elevate your look. Here are some go-to shades:
Winters: Black, true navy, charcoal gray, emerald green, cobalt blue, cool red, and icy pastels.
Summers: Soft navy, dove gray, dusty rose, muted teal, and cool berry shades.
Autumns: Warm brown, camel, olive green, burnt orange, and deep mustard.
Springs: Light camel, warm coral, peach, soft turquoise, and bright red.
