A Date Night–Ready Way to Wear a Blazer

When it comes to date-night style, we usually think of skirts, dresses, and statement tops. However, this blogger's outfit has now put blazers top of mind for our editors. For a polished-meets-casual look, we are taking a page from Nina of the blog Hello Shopping's stylebook and trying the classic piece on our next night out.

A sleek blazer is key for achieving the look, and a black version is by far the best (and easiest) option. Throw your top pick over a pair of boyfriend-style jeans in a dark wash and make sure to cuff the hems. For shoes, a pair of bold slingback pumps is essential—a python texture is a major plus if you can swing it. A bold printed scarf can be incorporated for added flair by tucking it into your blazer pocket or tying it around your neck or wrist.

Scroll through to see the blogger outfit that has us inspired, plus how to get the look.
