A good blazer is one of the foundations of any elevated wardrobe. Whether it’s cropped or oversized, boxy or streamlined they can take any outfit to the next level in mere moments.
And the wonderful thing about them is they’re one of the most trans-seasonal pieces you could own. When the temperatures are high, throw on a linen piece with your favourite skirt and sandals for a summer take on suiting. Alternatively, for a daring twist reminiscent of Miu Miu, opt for micro-shorts or hot pants to make a bold statement.
When the temperatures dip, layering becomes key. Add your favourite blazer over your cosy thermals and long-sleeved tops for an extra layer of warmth and sophistication. This versatile combination not only keeps you snug but also adds depth and texture to your outfit. For added protection against the elements, slip your blazer under a classic trench coat or an oversized coat, creating a chic and practical look that’s perfect for tackling the winter chill with style.
Finding the perfect blazer is not as simple as it may seem, so we’ve done our due diligence and found the best of the best for your perusal. Read on to find our carefully curated edit of our favourite blazers to add to your wardrobe.
