Fashion People Swear By This Exact Blazer for Elegant and Easy Outfits
If I could suggest one layering option to see you through the in-between weather we're experiencing, it would be, without a doubt, a grey blazer. Light enough to layer under a coat should you need it, yet providing just the right amount of warmth on sunnier days, this spring-ready layer is one of the most reached-for in my wardrobe.
I find a go-with-anything grey shade to be the most versatile of all my blazers, styling well with smart blouses and tailored trousers but looking equally chic paired with an oversized hoodie or your favourite straight-leg jeans. A grey blazer offers a more relaxed take on the sophisticated silhouette that makes day-to-day styling even easier, and ever on the lookout for excellent outfits that champion my favourite clothing item, I've rounded up four easy-to-copy looks that will make styling it a breeze. Read on to discover the grey blazer trend below.
HOW INFLUENCERS ARE STYLING GREY BLAZERS THIS SEASON
1. GREY BLAZER + WHITE TEE + JEANS
Style Notes: A grey blazer, white T-shirt and straight-leg jeans might be my favourite style combination ever. Equal parts laid-back and elevated, the inspired combination pairs sophisticated items with street style favourites for a balanced ensemble that looks good every time.
SHOP THE LOOK:
These a favourite within the Who What Wear UK office.
These comfortable trainers are ideal for traipsing around the city.
2. GREY BLAZER + WAISTCOAT + MAXI SKIRT
Style Notes: Craft an elegant outfit with ease by pairing your hero blazer with a long-line knitted skirt and smart waistcoat. To give your outfit a relaxed edge, add some white trainers. Otherwise, pair it with slingback flats or your favourite kitten-heels.
SHOP THE LOOK:
This cosy wool skirt is so easy to dress up or down.
3. GREY BLAZER + HOODIE + BLACK TROUSERS
Style Notes: For the perfect relaxed weekend look, reach for your favourite slouchy hoodie and layer a grey, oversized blazer on top. Lean into comfortable styling and pair with wide-leg trousers and trainers for a laid-back look you won't want to take off.
SHOP THE LOOK:
I always come back to The Row for its elevated basics.
This cosy hoodie is the only thing I want to wear all weekend.
Style with a smart blouse or wear with an oversized hoodie.
4. GREY BLAZER + MATCHING TROUSERS + BELT
Style Notes: The grey colour trend has been big news this season, so why not do it justice and style a grey suit set? To add a point of interest and sharpen your silhouette, add a slim leather belt and your favourite top-handle bag.
SHOP THE LOOK:
Wear with the matching blazer or keep it simple with a slogan tee.
This simple accessory is the key to elevating your looks with ease.
