Couple days ago I had a hard time choosing what I should wear; and I was just sitting there didn’t know what to do until I suddenly spotted my blazers. I haven’t been wearing any of my blazers since winter is here. It has been warmer for the past couple days and I think it is blazer time for me again! During Spring and Fall, blazers are always my go-to pieces since they are perfect for being worn as light jackets. I always have a soft spot for blazers even though I already have a couple ones. I am still keeping my eyes out and looking for more blazers to add to my closet.

Blazers are definitely staple pieces in every girl’s closet. If you are looking for something that can be good for both business and non-business, you cannot go wrong with blazers. Purchasing a blazer is not hard, you just have to narrow down your search by the following things: the number of buttons, the length of the blazer, the material, and the type of breasts. In terms of buttons, it could be from one-button to four or more buttons. I usually find that one-button and two button blazers are more flattering because of the way of the buttons sits. The length of the blazers is very important to me because where a blazer falls on a body will totally affect the look of the outfit. There is difference in length from chopped to long; but I usually go for waist-length and hip-length. Waist-length blazers are more flattering on the waist; and I also find that they go very well with skirts since they are not too long and end up covering most part of the skirts. Hip-length blazers are like boyfriend blazers; they have the tradition length which can easily pair with anything.

Then you have to determine what material you want since different fabric will affect the quality and look of a blazer. There are wool, satin, silk, linen, cotton, velvet and a lot more. Fabric can also affect what seasons would be best for you to wear the blazer. For instance, cotton and linen are more breathable so blazers with these materials are better for summer. Also keep in mind some fabrics need more maintenance than others such as linen wrinkles very easily. Another thing you need to choose is the breasts of your blazer. In general single-breasted blazers are more common and flattering.

Depends on your personality and style, you can pick any colour you prefer since blazers come in any colours you can imagine. Certain colours like black, grey, navy are more versatile and are good for any occasions from business to casual settings. Obviously blazers are great for work or any professional gatherings; however you can pair your blazers pretty much with anything besides button-down shirts and trousers. Blazers and jeans always look fantastic together. They balance each other out very well with the pair of jeans makes the blazer looks less formal while the blazer makes the jeans look more dressy. Next time you look for a light jacket, you definitely should go for a blazer. A blazer can always elevate the whole look and make your outfit more chic and sophisticated effortlessly!
