Blazers are a woman’s best friend, right? Nevertheless, blazers always make an appearance on the runways no matter what season is at play. For that reason, they are one of my favorite staples! I love that you can wear them year-round. All things considered, when it comes to quick and easy ways to enhance your looks, adding in a blazer is about as effortless as it gets! I love pairing blazers with tee shirts, leather pants, dresses, a pair of bike shorts- there are so many possibilities! Since Fall is the perfect time for throwing on a blazer, I thought I’d show you how to wear a blazer this week!
Shopping for Blazers
Considering how versatile they are, you’ll need at least two good blazers in your closet. If you need to go shopping for blazers, its’s important to keep in mind the different looks you’ll be using your blazer for. Whether you’re dressing up for a big event like a wedding or going on your weekly date to catch a movie, you’ll want to have different types of blazers within reach.
To get the most use out of a blazer, I always recommending investing in neutral shades to get the most wear, such as black, grey, camel or navy blue. Want to purchase a bold color? Red a pastel pink, or a mustard yellow are good colors that will stand out. All in all, before investing in a colored blazer, ask yourself: Will this color be popular in the years to come?

Hi Christina,
Thank you so much for your kind words. A blazer, top, and denim pants are my go-to uniform. As it gets colder I add an overcoat to the mix and start layering up.
My apologies to you for getting back to you so late. Thank you for commenting. Have a great day!
