Blazer is one of the most
versatile items ever! There are a few basics every woman should have in her closet, and
a simple blazer is one of them. It is one of the most versatile items
ever. They have been in trend for quite a long time now. They can be
worn with nearly everything in your closet and always dress up an
outfit. The classic black blazer is the most functional blazer a woman can
own. A simple black blazer can be used in so many ways for different looks. If
you don't own one, it may be time to purchase one. The cost of a little black
blazer will in the long run save you loads of money. It can be worn with pants
or a pencil skirt for work, with denim or shorts for casual outfits and even
with an elegant dress for a night out. Some blazers look great with
the new colored denim trend I have a Giovani shoulder pad blazer and love
it dearly, but I have my eyes on a few other color blazers to add to my
collection. Blazers can take you all the way from the spring to fall
seasons.
Trends for Blazers this season
Blazers this spring and summer range from cropped, to long over sized boyfriend
styles, you will see solid colors, plaid, and striped, not to mention floral. A
very big trend this season is cropped pastel leather biker look jackets.
Although the usually preferred colors in Blazers are basic black, white and
nude since they can be included in almost every single outfit without much
effort, but Neon, metallic and printed blazers are really hot this season.
1.
Pair
your blazer with shorts and flats for a casual chic or with super high heel
stilettos and a skirt for a party.
2.
For
work, pick a simple design. You are still allowed to play with different
prints. Wear it with high waist trousers and a simplified blouse or with a
pencil dress/skirt. Add a personal touch to your look with some accessories:
big sunglasses, studded belt or a jewel embellished necklace can pretty
much spice up your outfit.
3.
If you
are comfortable carrying a bold style, then you have many different designs
to choose from. Try various prints, for example floral,
animal print or stripes. Remember that horizontal stripes make you look
visually thicker, vertical ones make you look thinner. Floral prints look great
with bright colors depending on the rest of
your outfit.
4.
For
casual everyday look, you can add some color to your usual look.
5. I’m
in love with sequined blazer since I’ve seen it on Blake lively
aka Serena in Gossip Girl. It looks super chic but don't 'overdo' the
look. Keep the rest of your ensemble simplified.
6.
For
formal parties, choose soft colors, nothing too extravagant but still glamorous
and elegant. The cut of the blazer should be simple; yet stylish. You can
accessorize the look with a clutch, neck piece and a watch or bracelet. :)
Spice up the Blazer look with these tips:
1.
Mix and
match your suits. It gives you versatility and looks stylish at the same time. Pair
a basic black blazer with tan or bright colored pants. Contrast a bright or printed
pattern with subdued solids blazers for that elegant chic look.
2.
Give a
classic blazer a dash of modern appeal by clinching it with a belt. Belts are the
most popular accessories in women's fashion right now, and can give a trendy
twist to a simple outfit. Try a textured skinny belt or one in a bright color
to add a little zing to the monotone office wear, or you can flaunt your waist
with a wider belt for an edgy look.
3.
Pair up
a basic blazer with skinny jeans/shorts and a T-shirt for casual look. (P.S.
Add a nice floral scarf to this look for that extra edge!).
4.
Pair a
bright colored or printed blazer with a simple black dress for a look that can
easily go from day to evening with a touch of funky accessories.
5.
Got a
larger size in Blazer….sport it with a short skirt or even a casual pair of
shorts.
6.
Wear
blazers with high waist pants and top for a sophisticated look.
7.
Buy a colored
Lace blazer and pair it with an otherwise monochrome look or flaunt a solid
color lace dress with a basic or printed crop blazer to look like a million
bucks. :P
8. Go neon. I'm desperately hunting for a bright colored blazer this summers maybe Orange, Fucshia Pink, Green or Lemon. Oh yes! I adore this Lime colored blazer at Zara. Is'nt it a beauty!<3
What are you waiting for…Go dig
the collection at Zara, Mango, United colors of Benetton and Esprit stores
around you! The basics are a must but this summer go gaga in a blazer with prints,
stripes, flowers, polka dots, tribal, leopard, geometric and what not! Make it
complement your look with style and sophistication, but always remember to keep
the rest very simple and basic so let blazer be the star of your look.
