Forget the Trends—This Is the Classic Jacket French Women and Elegant Fashion People Rely On Year Round

If there's one piece in your wardrobe that you can consistently rely on any time of year, it's a blazer. Trends come and go, and while that impulse purchase waits at the back of your wardrobe for its moment in the sun, the blazer remains a timeless buy. It's one of the few things I actively collect because I know it's a sound investment.

I'm going to go ahead and say it: There is no outfit that can't be immeasurably improved by a blazer. It's a big statement, yes, but I'm confident I've got the proof to back it up.

Case in point: celebrity blazer fans Ashley Olsen and Hailey Bieber. When both paired an oversized blazer with a simple tee and jeans, it caught my attention. After all, when two of the world's most influential dressers are turning to blazers as their go-to jacket, you have to take note. And in fact, it was the resurfaced pictures of Princess Diana's blazer and vintage sweater combination that inspired me to invest in the oversized, black jacket from Zara that I now have on constant rotation. (I can't wait to pair it with knee-high boots.)

Of course, if I'm waxing lyrical and you already love blazers but aren't sure how to style them, I've turned to some of our favourite influencers for inspiration. Not only will some of these looks help breathe new life into your favourite blazer, but there are also suggestions for where you can find a stylish new one. After all, this wardrobe hero is about to come into its own now that we're about to step into spring, so keep scrolling for my edit of the best blazers to add to your basket now.

Shop the Blazers Fashion People Are Investing In for Spring:

1. Classic Black Blazers

Style Notes: A good black blazer should never be written off as "boring." This classic jacket not only makes a sharp full suit but also toughens up floaty dresses and pretty blouses.

2. Single-Breasted Blazers

Style Notes: Single-breasted loyalists, switch up shapes with accessories like Sylvie's buckle belt.

3. Wool Blazers

Style Notes: Think of the wool blazer as the little sister of winter's wool coat. Quite honestly, it goes with everything and is a guaranteed investment that won't go out of style.

4. Leather Blazers

Style Notes: Go large or go home is a leather blazer's mantra. When it comes to tailoring the cool-girl way, size up for an oversized, "borrowed from the boys" look.

5. Burgundy Blazers

Style Notes: Bold, seasonal colours that are the easiest way to do dopamine dressing, and burgundy is one colour that is getting a seasonal extension for spring.

6. White Blazers

Style Notes: Spring is all about the white blazer, make an outfit feel fresh by opting for fresh white hues.

7. Suede Blazers

Style Notes: Find classic leather too predictable? Georgia makes a case for the suede iteration to be the new finish of choice.
