All About the Blazer

When it comes to blazers I have a bit of an obsession, I can’t get enough of them. And the worst part is I love all kinds of colors and patterns on blazers. However, for today’s look I wanted to keep it classic.

When it comes to building your wardrobe, I really believe that investing in a well fitted blazer is a must. img_2229They are perfect for the office, yes, however pairing them with a jean and colorful tee is a perfect way to dress the look down. I must say I’ve even worn them with a great pair of sweats and a strappy heel. Blazers have a way of just making an outfit look so much more put together and sharp.

When it comes to shopping for the perfect blazer my first piece of advice is fit. You must see what length bests suits your body. They are styles that range from a few inches below the waist to ending right at the upper thigh. I always believe that it matters on your height, then you can see which look is best for you.

The next step is checking which style is better suited for your body type. A more hourglass shape may be better suited for you then a boxy, straight fit. The boxy fit is a great look but it can make you look bulky in all the wrong places. I personally prefer more of an hourglass shape, I think it looks very feminine and flattering. However, if you do like more of a box shape blazer, I’ve seen some myself that I think look great, then see if you can find one in a softer color or a lightweight fabric. This will add a more delicate element to the look.

Then comes the fun part, color and pattern. I love a great fitted blazer that can also add a pop of color to any look. Now believe me when I tell you, those are not as easy to find. When you do get your hands on one, my advice is, treat yourself!
