If there's one piece in your wardrobe that you can consistently rely on any time of year, it's a blazer. Trends come and go, and while that impulse purchase waits at the back of your wardrobe for its moment in the sun, the blazer remains a timeless buy. It's one of the few things I actively collect because I know it's a sound investment.
I'm going to go ahead and say it: There is no outfit that can't be immeasurably improved by a blazer. It's a big statement, yes, but I'm confident I've got the proof to back it up.
Case in point: celebrity blazer fans Ashley Olsen and Hailey Bieber. When both paired an oversized blazer with a simple tee and jeans, it caught my attention. After all, when two of the world's most influential dressers are turning to blazers as their go-to jacket, you have to take note. And in fact, it was the resurfaced pictures of Princess Diana's blazer and vintage sweater combination that inspired me to invest in the oversized, black jacket from Zara that I now have on constant rotation. (I can't wait to pair it with knee-high boots.)
Of course, if I'm waxing lyrical and you already love blazers but aren't sure how to style them, I've turned to some of our favourite influencers for inspiration. Not only will some of these looks help breathe new life into your favourite blazer, but there are also suggestions for where you can find a stylish new one. After all, this wardrobe hero is about to come into its own now that we're about to step into spring, so keep scrolling for my edit of the best blazers to add to your basket now.
Shop the Blazers Fashion People Are Investing In for Spring:
1. Classic Black Blazers
Style Notes: A good black blazer should never be written off as "boring." This classic jacket not only makes a sharp full suit but also toughens up floaty dresses and pretty blouses.
Got dinner plans? Change out of the matching trousers and wear this over a satin slip dress with a barely-there strappy heel.
2. Single-Breasted Blazers
Style Notes: Single-breasted loyalists, switch up shapes with accessories like Sylvie's buckle belt.
You're about to see linen blazers a lot in the next few weeks.
3. Wool Blazers
Style Notes: Think of the wool blazer as the little sister of winter's wool coat. Quite honestly, it goes with everything and is a guaranteed investment that won't go out of style.
Let's not get too ahead of ourselves, spring does bring about some colder days—this paired with a tee and some jeans is perfect for those days.
4. Leather Blazers
Style Notes: Go large or go home is a leather blazer's mantra. When it comes to tailoring the cool-girl way, size up for an oversized, "borrowed from the boys" look.
Buy this jacket true to size as the generous cut is designed to be a roomy fit.
5. Burgundy Blazers
Style Notes: Bold, seasonal colours that are the easiest way to do dopamine dressing, and burgundy is one colour that is getting a seasonal extension for spring.
Such a great find at Zara.
6. White Blazers
Style Notes: Spring is all about the white blazer, make an outfit feel fresh by opting for fresh white hues.
When it comes to tailoring, Max Mara knows what its doing.
7. Suede Blazers
Style Notes: Find classic leather too predictable? Georgia makes a case for the suede iteration to be the new finish of choice.
Wear the blazer with a pair of light wash jeans.
