In the seasons of fall and spring, a solid blazer can function as the perfect transitional piece to keep you warm during those cold mornings without the weight of a bulky coat. 

Wearing a loose-fit blazer over wide-leg pants creates a free-flowing effect and looks effortless with a luxe handbag.

When in doubt, throw on a blazer. It doesn’t matter if you’re wearing jeans, dress pants, or a skirt.

A polished blazer automatically adds an elevated finish to any outfit.

The timeless jeans-and-a-black blazer combination is always in play, but the silhouette of an oversize jacket provides more coverage, and can therefore be a clever stand-in for a fall/spring jacket.

Because of its color palette, a few key pieces are needed to turn white jeans into an outfit.

Blazers can elevate athletic leggings the same way they can amp up a pair of jeans.

A blazer paired with sleek leggings hits the sweet spot between comfy and polished. A roomy, oversize blazer continues to be one of the most versatile staples in a capsule wardrobe.  

For those looking for casual appeal, pair yours with athletic leggings and size up in the blazer.

What is the winter version of the essential white t-shirt?

The classic turtleneck sweater packs a lot of versatility, whether styled for relaxed moments with white sneakers or dialed up with a miniskirt for an event, or a date night.

Blazers might feel formal initially, but give them a playful, preppy spin with an on-trend black miniskirt and black loafers.

A mini skirt adds dimension and texture while a black blazer, left open, defines the waist. Add loafers or a pair of black leather Chelsea boots for a casual spin. 

Blazer + Tee + Skirt

A simple white tee and a silk skirt are two classic pieces that are timeless and evergreen. Add a fitted blazer to the mix. 

The juxtaposition of the two styles, one masculine, and the other feminine, perfectly defines how the modern woman wants to dress today: chicly and smartly.

Slip skirts have a talent for creating a look that’s both relaxed and refined, and with a black blazer in tow, it will simply radiate effortless polish.

However popular a cinched blazer is, the oversize blazer continues to reign supreme. 

Keep things polished with ankle boots and a structured bag.

A skirt that’s pleated, or poufy will feel less over-the-top with the help of a structured blazer.

For a look that’s brimming with classic contrast, pair a black blazer with a white skirt. It’s a more elevated and modern option for formal events.

A blazer is the perfect finishing touch on a basic outfit that combines a plain shirt and denim shorts.

A slouchy blazer worn over a simple tee and cut-off shorts is a perfect backdrop for a statement bag.
