Coat season is, for better or for worse (depending on which season you prefer), finally at an end. During the winter months, I'll lean on a smart wool coat to keep me looking put-together, but when springtime rolls around, lighter layers are called for, and it's time to get a little more creative. On the lookout for a new spring jacket that will maintain the polish I've been working hard to cultivate, I've set my sights on a particular blazer, but it's a little different from the typical boxy styles I've come to rely on. This season, I'm investing in a waisted blazer.
Saturating the streets of New York and Copenhagen this fashion month, as well as my social media feeds thanks to the French women I follow, the style set are already incorporating this fresh blazer silhouette into their spring rotations. Featuring structured shoulders and a longline cut, this elegant jacket tapers in slightly at the waist before lightly flaring out at the hips, giving it a distinct hourglass shape.
Whilst the jacket looks supremely chic worn with flared or wide-leg trousers, those in the know are already declaring it a new staple by styling it with their favourite jeans on repeat.
We've already co-signed the peplum top trend as one to watch this season, so it figures that the hourglass blazer, with its similarly waist-accentuating silhouette, is on the rise too. Read on to discover my edit of the best hourglass blazers to shop this spring.
