Ladies AND Gentlemen….
Throw out the hoodies and kick your wardrobe up a notch by adding blazers to your closet collection this fall. The great thing about blazers is you can wear it with a cute dress or simply wear it over a pair of your favorite boyfriend jeans. The result? You will look and feel 10 times more fierce/stylish with a blazer versus a dull hoodie jacket.
Blazer Shopping- Blazers come in all shapes and sizes. Buy a size larger than you normally wear because baggy is better in this case! The goal is finding a blazer that adds a youthful edge to your ensemble-not the stuffy styles worn with suits. A blazer is so versatile that it can be worn with almost anything and everything. The key to this trend is to mix it up and look relaxed.
Blazers That Rock- I personally love how Silence and Noise and H&M blazers fit your body. They both have perfect amounts of shoulder-padding for women and fit so comfortably! (Cheap too!) Topshop and Topman also have a great variety of blazers for men and women.
FASHION NEWS LIVE STYLE TIPS:
Day Look For Men: Pair your blazer up with tailored shorts and canvas sneakers over a plain v-neck, graphic tee, or polo. Denim blazers are also great with day time looks.
Day Look For Women: Pair your blazer up with loose fitted boyfriend or skinny jeans and ballet flats over a loose fitted top.
Evening Look For Men: Pair your blazer up with dark denim jeans or trousers with a strong woven shirt or plaid accented shirt. (They don’t have to match completely). Worn with appropriate dress shoes.
Evening Look For Women: Pair your blazer over your favorite nightlife dress or skirt with heels. Add some sparkling jewelry to dazzle up the look and don’t forget your cute clutch.
