This Chic Anti-Trend Staple Is Officially One of the Most Popular Trends Around
The term "blazer" was coined in 1825 and back then was thought of as a more casual alternative to coats. Centuries later, the blazer is ever-evolving, serving as a symbol of empowerment for women. Once seen only in office settings, blazers have become versatile pieces. Today, blazers have taken the fashion industry by storm, establishing their status as "anti-trend" wardrobe essentials.
Styled with a classic white T-shirt and denim or belted over a knit dress, blazers add immediate polish to any look. This season, the basic blazer received an update. Flooding both the runways and the streets, oversize blazers are the hot ticket. From traditional tartan and fine leathers to cropped and elongated silhouettes, there is a myriad of oversize blazers to indulge in.
Ahead, discover the 24 we have our eyes on this season.
Basic Neutrals
It's impossible to go wrong with a neutral blazer. In fact, my light-beige blazer is easily the favorite in my wardrobe. (Yes, I play favorites.) Layer a chunky knit under or pair with shorts—after all, a solid neutral is seasonless.
Big-Check Blazers
From Tibi to Victoria Beckham, oversize checks have ruled the runways. Bored of your traditional tartan? Update your trusty blazer by opting for this enlarged check print.
The Double-Breasted Blazer
This minor design detail elevates any ol' blazer. Plus, it's an oversize blazer, so there's plenty of room for buttons.
Better in Leather
Trousers, trenches, and now oversize blazers… It's true: Everything is better in leather, as the fabric enhances any basic wardrobe piece.
Crop It
Cropped and oversize is a thing. Style hack: Tuck the oversize, cropped blazer into your trousers for an updated suit look.
Get two trends in one piece by opting for this cropped leather blazer.
Keep It Classic
The OGs still exist. That's right—we're talking about the ones that literally never go out of style.
The Elongated Blazer
Celebrate the oversize silhouette, and embrace the elongated blazer.
In the Details
It's the little things, such as a tiny drape, a metal clasp, or an off-center button, that elevate designs and prove that blazers don't have to be boring.
