Women's Blazers: A Timeless Clothing Piece
Blazers are a timeless trend that combines street style with effortless sophistication. A true all-rounder, blazers can be layered over tees and jeans for weekend vibes, dressed up with matching shorts and mules or tailored with pants for a sharp outfit that's fit for any formal workplace. Just like coats, the blazer jacket comes in different styles, materials and silhouettes for every woman and occasion. Some of the most popular types of blazers include:
- Single-breasted blazer
- Double-breasted blazer
- Cropped blazer
- Oversized blazer
- Leather blazer
- Printed blazer
- Pinstripe blazer
Wearing an Oversized Blazer
The oversized blazer look is so in right now. Also known as boyfriend blazers, these jackets embrace 90s inspo for a smart style that's roomy and oozes confidence. The key to making an oversized blazer outfit work for you is to layer it with fitted pieces so that you're not swamped in too much fabric.
Crop tops and singlets paired with jeans or high-waisted pants keep things casual, while a pair of heels will elevate the look for formal occasions. We love a classic oversized black blazer teamed with a white top, lived-in jeans and sneakers. Slip a knit blazer or check blazer over jumpers and vests for a fresh, preppy look or add some edge with a blazer and pants paired with combat boots and a graphic tee.
Oversized blazers intentionally veer towards the masculine, so balance things out by adding some delicate jewellery to your outfit, from a simple gold necklace to stacked rings.
Wearing an Oversized Blazer
Oversized blazers are a little slouchy and more roomier than your average tailored blazer. While they are meant to be a relaxed fit, you still want the blazer coat to fit nicely across the back and shoulders, giving you a sharp silhouette. If you've gone with a full-length sleeve blazer, the sleeves should end at your thumb joint with room to roll up to the elbows for a casual lunch with friends.
Styling Your New Blazer
Blazers are super versatile and can be worn all year round when paired with different pieces and accessories. For a casual blazer, you can't beat the blazer and t-shirt combination, especially when teamed with jeans, a belt and your go-to bag.
In the summer, a cute two-piece set with matching shorts, a crop top and a pair of heels will take you from a shopping spree to a night out. Add a pop of colour to a neutral outfit with a vibrant green blazer, or tone it down with a classic black blazer for work that's paired with heels and a crossbody bag. Blazers with dresses are a winning business casual combo with a slim belt to add definition to the waist. Team a blazer and skirt with strappy sandals and a pretty blouse for dressy casual events.
We love vintage oversized blazers with high-waisted slouchy pants and a fitted crop top, as well as tailored cropped blazers with wide leg pants and slides.

Trending Blazers and Styles
When it comes to coats & jackets, blazers are a true outerwear staple, as iconic as the timeless trench coat and denim jacket. Boyfriend blazers are this season's hottest trend, slightly oversized and wearable, with everything from jeans and sneakers to mini skirts and heels. Slip them over sleeveless tops, tees and long sleeve tops or sharpen up your activewear and loungewear outfits by adding a brightly coloured blazer.
We're also loving textured blazers with lapels in pretty block colours that can be teamed with matching pants or worn solo over dresses, jumpsuits and more.
Colours to Look Out for
Black blazers are always a safe choice for workwear, teamed up with white shirts and blouses. Go from AM to PM by swapping the shirts for a mini dress and a pair of chunky mules. Make a bold style statement with a colourful blazer styled over a crop top with high waist pants for the weekend, or create the ultimate blazer suit set with matching pants, heels and a cute bag. We've got new in lilac, grey, green and light khaki ready to party with your wardrobe faves.
