Regardless of the time of year, blazers are essential. Ideal for layering in thecolder months or wearing as a lightweight cover-up when temperatures rise, blazersare—along with my jeans and extensive white T-shirt collection—one of the few things in mywardrobe I can legitimately say that I wear every season. But they feel particularly suitable for winterand its unpredictable weather, acting as easy outerwear for milder days, and an added layer that you can wear under your coat on chillier ones.
With so much wear, however, comes the risk of fatigue—of being stuck in some sort of outfitGroundhog Day–type scenario. Blazersdeserve better, and more importantly,youdeserve better. So I’ve rounded up10 classic blazer outfits you can style on a whim and know they’re going to look chicer than chic.
As seen on some of my favourite sources of fashion inspiration and utilising pieces I expect you’ll already have in your wardrobe, these classicblazer outfits might be simple, but they’ll never let you down.
