By: Olivia Marrone

The blazer is the year-round layering piece that has become so versatile it is now a must-have garment in everyone’s wardrobe. Gone are the days when the jacket is solely worn by business executives for professional events and to work at the office.

Over time the piece has proven to be the perfect addition to a casual outfit, being transformed in chic and modern ways thanks to bloggers and street style stars.

Looking for some new ways to style your blazers during this transitional season? You’ve come to the right place. Here are five different ways that you can wear a blazer next time you’re in a style rut.

Classic Combo

Worn by celebrities and street style stars alike, a blazer paired with a t-shirt and jeans is a foolproof outfit to have in your wardrobe. You can dress the outfit up or down depending on what shoes, bag, and jewelry you wear with it, but this day-to-night look is a classic example of how to casually style a blazer.

Statement Piece

Blazers are the perfect add-on to pretty much any look. When you’re not sure what to wear, let the blazer be the main focus. Whether it’s on top of a button-down shirt/dress with tights and boots or over a tank top with jean shorts, a blazer will never let you down.

Oversized With Wide-Leg Pants

Who said that the blazer-pant combo is exclusive to skinny jeans and tight-fitting pants? Popular on Instagram thanks to bloggers and influencers, styling an oversized blazer with wide-legged pants and a tighter-fitting top is another effortlessly cool ensemble. 

Blazer Dress

Sleek, chic, and sophisticated,  this take on a blazer is perfect for an evening event. Whether you choose to wear it with long sleeves or sleeveless when the weather gets warmer, this style dress is the key component to a cool and put-together look.

Blazer Set

When in doubt, a blazer set is a perfect option for the upcoming spring months. With the set itself already being the focal point of the outfit, all you need to do is choose a top to wear underneath (a pussy-bow blouse would be a great alternative to a t-shirt!), shoes and accessories.

Over the years the blazer has become a wardrobe staple, and for good reason. However you choose to wear it, a blazer will never fail you when in a style rut. What’s great about this piece is that it comes in a variety of colors, patterns, textures, and silhouettes, so whatever your personal style is there’s definitely a blazer out there for you.
