We love a blazer. It’s a simple wardrobe investment that’ll serve you well, through multiple seasons, morphing easily to fit new trends as they come along. With Fast Fashion on the decline, and fashionistas of 2019 looking to splash their cash on fewer but higher quality items, the simple silhouette of a blazer is proving a popular choice on the high-street, coming back time and again in a variety of oh-so-wearable cuts and styles to suit all body shapes and sizes.
Feeling too formal? If blazers haven’t made it to your wheelhouse just yet, then things are a-changin’. We’ve got news for you: gone are the days where blazers were reserved solely for the board room, or cabin crew. There are easy ways to dress this classic piece up and down, to rinse it of every single drop of versatility. We’ll show you how.
The Blazer
We’ve chosen a modern update of a classic, because with its longer length and subtle print, we’ll be pulling the Double-Breasted Blazer in Prince of Wales Check out of our wardrobes again and again.

Sophisticated monotone
First up? Go understated and sexy in all black. Throw on a simple Shoestring Cami with a little lace detailing and tuck it loosely into the Vila Faux Leather Pencil Skirt. Push up your blazer sleeves and cinch at the waist with a skinny leather belt. Finish with Chelsea Boots for simple sass. Perfect for drinks, dinner and, if the mood takes you, even a little dancing.
Parisian chic
You know us, French elegance runs in our blood. So for a classy daytime look that’ll serve you well whether you’re out shopping or celebrating your Granny’s birthday, we’re pulling on stonewashed denim and Breton style navy stripes. Add a simple ballet pump with red lipstick and you’re ready to roll.
Go bold
From gig to coffee date, a graphic tee adds instant laid-back appeal. We love the contrast of it layered under a blazer. This floral Levi’s edition should do the trick nicely, tucked into a pair of Coated Slim Fit Trousers. Next up, pick a bright pair of Converse (we like red) and your biggest pair of earrings.
