Sometimes—most of the time, actually—it's not the obvious thing that makes an outfit look expensive. Logos are often overrated. Minute details that take time and care to craft, however, always show what's luxurious and what's not. One such touch that never fails to look rich? When the buttons on a blazer are sewn on in close succession. Yes, it makes buttoning and unbuttoning your top layer more difficult, but boy, is it worth the extra work.
Brands like Khaite, Liberowe, and Kallmeyer get it, leaning into this subtle yet impactful detail—as does Jennifer Lawrence, who wore a leather blazer with extra-compact buttons by the latter NYC-based brand during a recent stroll through the city. The No Hard Feelings actress wore the topper (the Warner Blazer, which is available in black and cognac camel) effortlessly alongside a lace-trim skirt, a graphic T-shirt, a red drawstring bag, and flat toe-loop sandals. She finished off the casual-cool daytime ensemble with her go-to accessory of late, a Twilight: Breaking Dawn baseball cap.
On Jennifer Lawrence: Kallmeyer Warner Blazer ($1950)
Without her jacket, Lawrence's look is very chill and low-key, from the oversize tee to her choice of headwear. The sophisticated blazer takes it to another level, one I'm ready to mimic from now through fall and winter. Fortunately, there are plenty of brands, from the designer options listed above to more affordable alternatives, ready to supply you (and me) with elegant outerwear fastened together with close-together buttons. In fact, I already own the leather Mango option listed below, so I have firsthand knowledge of this micro-trend's net worth–raising powers.
Scroll down to shop the blazer trend women with taste in NYC, including Lawrence, are swearing by in 2025. Don't stop at just blazers. There are trenches, vests, and dress coats featuring compact buttons too.
