6 Ways to Wear a Blazer

The blazer is one of those pieces that in theory you know you should have in your wardrobe, but in practice you might not know how to pull off. Is it just for the office? Can I ever dress it down? Do I try it with a maxi dress? They're kind of expensive, so how can I get the most mileage out of it?

The good news is that they are surprisingly versatile. With the right styling you can pull your blazer out for occasions other than a job interview.

Our suggestion is to stick with black if it's your 1st blazer purchase. It'll be easier to work into the items you already have in your closet.

Naturally, an all-white pencil skirt would look great for a professional setting like the office or a business meeting, while pairing it with some distressed jeans is an excellent way to dress it down but still look sophisticated. 

The same principle also applies for more statement items like a pair of sequin shorts. A black blazer is the perfect neutralizer.

Another plus side to a blazer is how easy it can transition from day to night on any outfit. You might have a cocktail dress you want to wear to a party after dinner, but instead of 2 outfits, a blazer will have you looking pulled together before changing venues.
