I Wear a Blazer at Least Once a Week—17 Outfits Currently on My Style Mood Board
It's almost a rule if you work in fashion that you have to wear blazers—a lot. As long as you have plenty of them in your closet to throw on top of an outfit at any given moment, it doesn't matter if you choose oversize ones, nipped-in ones, longline ones, or cropped ones. Of course, having a uniform like this can make life much easier. I'd know—I wore one for years in school and saved an abundance of time getting ready in the morning. It can, however, grow stale rather quickly.
That's no reason to stop wearing the priority wardrobe staple. In fact, I probably will never quit my blazers. All it means is that you need to style them in interesting and ever-changing ways. That's why I keep a mood board dedicated to blazers that I update every few weeks with new styling inspiration to ensure that my blazers never start to feel boring, no matter how often I wear them. Keep scrolling to see the 17 oversize-blazer outfits that are currently calling said mood board home.
