11 ways to wear a blazer
Go the monochromatic route for the office
Getting dressed for work doesn’t have to be a bore. “A cool gray blazer is ideal for an everyday office look. I paired mine with a flirty peplum top and sleek tailored trousers for a tone-on-tone look.” —Anh Sundstrom, 9 to 5 Chic
Choose a patterned one to add interest
“Leopard print spices up anything! This blazer is great when I want to take my outfit to another level.” —Kéla Walker, Kéla’s Kloset
Dress It down with low-key add-ons
“This blazer over a hoodie and graphic tee is fantastic for running weekend errands. I love the idea of layering pieces that seem like they wouldn’t otherwise go together.” —Christin Schindewolf, With a CH
Winterize warm-weather pieces
“I make summer dresses work during the winter by throwing on a blazer as a much-needed layer. This way, my summer pieces can do double duty.” —Kimberly Pesch, Eat Sleep Wear
Stand out in gray
“I love the color story here. Mixing winter white with blush tones and gray accents looks so fresh against a sea of New York black.” —Laura Harari, Edgify Me
Borrow one from the boys
“I’m a tomboy at heart, and I love the boxy cut of a men’s blazer. It really adds a toughness to an otherwise feminine look.” —Folake Kuye Huntoon, Style Pantry
Use it to polish up edgy denim
“A blazer can drastically dress up distressed jeans and a T-shirt, totally transforming the outfit. Adding heels and a fun clutch makes this look work for a casual lunch meeting or dinner date.” —Caitlin Moran, Style Within Reach
Pair a bold style with standout heels
“Whenever I wear a bright shoe, I also like to wear a statement blazer instead of a basic black one. This is one of my favorite jackets!” —Delmy Rivera, Fashion Bananas
Toss it over your shoulders
Make like the Europeans and simply drape it on you. “With a blazer, you will instantly look elegant and professional.” —Natacha Steven, Natacha Steven
Wear it under an oversize vest
“When the temperature drops in NYC, I layer blazers under faux-fur vests. It adds a fun element to the look and is more practical than a blazer on its own.” —Laura Elner, On the Racks
