Now that it's mid-December, you've likely already purchased your new winter coats, but there's one outerwear piece that I recommend keeping an eye out for all year long: blazers. They're versatile enough to wear 365 days a year, so there's literally never a bad time to consider investing in a fresh one to add to your collection. I especially love layering them under wool coats during the throes of the chilly season, but they're also great on their own in warmer months.
Considering how much our shoppers love buying from Nordstrom, I decided to focus on the retailer for all of my blazer shopping for this story. Below, I sourced the cream of the crop after sifting through every single women's blazer that Nordstrom has in stock. Scroll down to shop my picks.
