We noted that blazers were the unexpected trend of last year, and 2018 is following suit. This time though, it’s all about the oversize fit. As one of our favorite menswear go-tos, this alternative to a heavier jacket makes for the perfect hero piece. A structured blazer can easily make your outfit polished in one simple step, but a boxier silhouette will provide a more relaxed vibe rather than looking too stuffy. This piece will have you moving from work to happy hour seamlessly.

To give the timeless blazer an updated, fashion-forward look, we’re looking to some of our favorite street style stars for the best inspiration. Not only have they mastered the trend, but they’ll also provide some ideas on how to accessorize around the look. Whether you’re wearing the oversize look as a blazer, layering a hoodie underneath, or taking the classic approach, this is one closet staple you won’t want to neglect.
