15 Blazer Outfits to Wear Year Round

A timeless piece now essential in a woman's wardrobe, the blazer stands out on all silhouettes, from business districts to the runways of the biggest fashion shows. It-girls and other personalities have made it their signature, like Gigi Hadid or Kaia Gerber, who are regularly seen wearing this jacket. Often associated with the working-girl's wardrobe and the world of work, the blazer now comes in various cuts and materials to adapt to all situations and seasons. Fitted, oversized, or with shoulder pads, it's a versatile jacket that can easily be borrowed from the men's wardrobe but requires some tips to be worn with style. Follow our guide and be inspired by our selection.

How to choose the blazer according to its morphology?

The blazer is a jacket that has the advantage of adapting to all body shapes. However, a few tips can help enhance the silhouette with style.

Shoulders wider than hips: To avoid accentuating the shoulders, avoid shoulder pads and opt for fluid and fitted models instead.

Hips wider than shoulders or sloping shoulders: Choose a blazer with shoulder pads to structure and balance the proportions.

Aligned shoulders and hips without a defined waist: The idea is to define the waist. To do this, opt for fitted models.

Regarding the length of the blazer, longer models are preferred for taller individuals to elongate the silhouette without making the garment look too small. For shorter individuals, shorter models are preferred to avoid appearing too compact and bulky.

Choosing your blazer is primarily a matter of taste, style, and comfort; prioritize a model in which you feel comfortable.

To wear a blazer at work or during the day:

As a symbol of career-driven women and power dressing pioneered by Yves Saint-Laurent and Giorgio Armani, the blazer - or suit jacket - is omnipresent in the professional sphere. Initially reserved for men, it has been part of the working-girl's wardrobe since the 1980s with the introduction of the tailored suit, bringing undeniable fashion flair to the office.

Although oversized blazers are very trendy this season, it's preferable to opt for a tailored fit over ultra-oversized ones.

In terms of fabric, prioritize wool - whether blended or not. In winter, a discreet corduroy is also acceptable.

Stick to neutral colors like black, gray, dark blue, or brown. Soft pastel colors are also welcome. Printed patterns should be used sparingly; opt for Prince of Wales, checks, or houndstooth patterns.

For a casual chic and modern look, pair it with a white t-shirt, jeans, and a pair of sneakers.

While there are plenty of feminine styles available, it's entirely possible to find the perfect blazer in the men's section.

To wear a blazer in the evening:

The blazer instantly adds a chic touch to any outfit and can transform a casual look into an evening ensemble while adding a fashionable flair. Some models are more suitable for evenings and can even be worn alone as a dress. The blazer adapts to any occasion and style, from a rock party to a bohemian event.

Structured, fitted, oversized, sleeveless... All cuts are allowed once night falls.

While wool blazers suit all occasions, in winter, opt for velvet pieces. Very chic and warm, they allow you to create sophisticated silhouettes in no time. Depending on the occasion and your style, you can also go for sequined models.

In terms of colors, opt for dark and deep shades: from red to black, including the timeless navy blue.

A velvet blazer represents the statement piece of the outfit; pair it with straight pants and a shirt. A wool blazer allows for more eccentricities; dare to layer it over a sequined dress and a pair of ankle boots.

If it's long enough, the blazer can be worn as a dress. Add a belt to define the waist and put on your favorite pair of boots.

For an athleisure version of the blazer:

When we think of blazers, we immediately think of the stylish ensembles of Lady Diana or more recently Hailey Bieber. Devotees of blazers, these fashion icons with timeless styles weren't afraid to incorporate this piece into outfits with athleisure accents.

To create an athleisure silhouette with a blazer, opt for an oversized fit for a masculine effect.

All materials are welcome; however, lighter ones are preferred for the spring-summer season.

For colors, anything goes. However, solid colors or very discreet patterns are preferred.

To compose an athleisure look, pair your blazer with a sweatshirt or a varsity-style t-shirt, cycling shorts or leggings, and a pair of sneakers. As for accessories, ribbed knit socks and a cap will complete the ensemble.
