BLAZERS | FIVE MUST-HAVE STYLES

Blazers fall in two categories | formal and casual | They are perfect to complete any of your chosen looks - work to play, soccer fields to black ties, running errands to easy lounging. This piece of intelligent clothing enters our closet and plays its role seamlessly. Since blazers make dressing effortless, we conclude that every woman should have one in her closet (or more!). So here is a round-up of super-chic blazer styles.

The boyfriend blazer | Long enough (falls below your hips) to cover your flaws, its loose silhouettes are very forgiving. Remember, while picking one, the shoulders should sit well on the shoulders and the sleeve length should fall right at the wrist. They look fantastic with rolled up sleeves paired with rolled up jeans and a simple white tee underneath. A perfect way to bring a little masculinity into your dressing without losing the feminine charm!

The casual blazer | It’s a unanimous vote for a crisp white blazer. White is versatile and instantly brightens up any look. Try one next time you step out for a chic brunch with girlfriends or simply slip one on with denim while running errands. An instant compliment-puller.

The classic blazer is a must-have in your closet

The fun blazer | This is simply a casual blazer that can be bold, colored and playful. Once you have one, pair it with colored trousers or skirts (try a bold print). The idea behind this is to step away from neutral classics and opting for something in trend, be it the color of the year or a print (a little colour boosts your mood too). A fun blazer can also be your statement blazer if it has some work on it. Perfect for those days when you are looking for something with a twist or have no idea what to wear. Pair it with simple denims, dress pants or over a dress. They can seamlessly take you from day to night wear.

The classic blazer | A must have is a black one in your closet. If you are not a big blazer wearer and one is what you are going for, invest in this. The classic blazer is the epitome of sophistication in your closet. You can easily wear one with shorts, denim, overalls, skirts, and dresses; to going out on an official dinner or black tie event. They are perennially stylish.

Once blazers were a seasonal piece of clothing, but with the amount of variety we have today in fabrics (cotton, linen, silk, wool, denims, etc) they can easily go from season to season.
