blazer


The blazer is a great, flattering, trendy, and eye-catching look that can make you feel confident walking into any room. It works with all body types and can be chosen in different styles. It is a great look for going out on the town paired with a great pair of dark skinny jeans and pumps.

A single breasted blazer that is a neutral color is a perfect choice, dressed up or down, and can be worn with many different pieces. Wear them with jeans, skirts, and dresses.

When choosing your blazer look for is a snug fit without being overly tight or loose at the shoulders. A curved seam at the torso often provides a better fit. Some blazers feature a vertical slit at the back for more comfort. There's a wide range of materials to choose from such as silk, wool, linen, cotton, polyester, gabardine, and knit. If you are looking for a more dressy look, satin and silk are the best choices.

Lastly, when you are choosing your blazer it's important to focus on your shape. If you are very slim, you should stick to a single-button jacket. For a larger shape it might be best to wear a double-buttoned jacket. If you have a large bust, avoid jackets that have wide lapels, because they will make the bust area look even better. If you have a short torso and want to make it appear longer, go with a blazer that is a little longer for the best results.

Although I would recommend sticking to the fitted jacket, I should mention that another look is to wear a loose unstructured jacket. This can be paired with jeans for a more casual look.
