This is a killer combo that's always on-point. The addition of a blazer and tights can take any ensemble to the next level.

2. Create a Pop of Color

If you prefer monochromatic ensembles or simple black and white looks, injecting a little color is a great idea. This is what I advised my lovely wife @Heather to do when a few of her work frenemies accused her of being “goth” because she likes to wear all black. Well. First I told her to say something decidedly NSFW, but the blazer idea works, too.

3. The Ultimate Layering Option

Blazers are perfect for layering, even if you have to get a little inventive.

I've actually never seen this look before. I could not pull off this look, I don't have the legs for it, but it's pretty cute, I gotta say.

5. Cool, Casual, and Chic

Boyfriend jeans, a tee, and a blazer – simple but so stylish, you don't even need anything else. Well, no, scratch that. Take a page from this lovely woman's book and include phenomenal shoes, a fab purse, and the perfect pair of sunnies.

6. As a Kind of Coverup

But not really. Check out this outfit, though – if you're working a mini and a crop top but want a little more coverage, a complementary blazer brings together the whole thing.

7. Put Together Complementary Colors

In addition to using a blazer for a single pop of color, you can put together a whole palette of complementary hues. The world needs more color blocking.

8. As a Suit

This ain't your momma's power suit.

This just screams “laid-back.” It's a perfect seaside look, ideal as a vacation ensemble, and comfortable enough for a day of errands or casual fun. Gotta love a low-maintenance outfit.

I adore the clean crispness of this outfit – simple color palette, timeless pieces, a few statement-making details. This woman is doing it right.

11. An out-of-the-box Design

Is it a coat? Is it a blazer? Is it something in between? It's hella cute, whatever it is.

12. Like a Fashionista

Seriously, this is off-duty style at its finest. It's such a simple little outfit, but you'll never go wrong if you wear something like this.

13. Back to Black

Black top, black blazer, black boots, worn blue jeans – this is literally all you need to look like a million dollars.

14. Winter Ready

Make like the Parisians, who know how to layer more stylishly than anyone in the world. Can you believe a blazer and a scarf can look this good together?

15. Make It a Statement Piece

I just want this entire outfit. At the very least, I must own that blazer.

Who says you can't mix Boho chic with business casual?

Everything about this outfit is awesome, from the stripes to the tights to that stunning, slouchy blazer.

18. Pretty in Pinstripes

Pinstripes are always stylish. They lend a crisp, vintage air to any ensemble – though I prefer my pinstripes a bit more tailored, to be honest.

19. Tailored to Death

Yeah, baby, something like this. The fit of the blazer alone takes the outfit up a notch, so it's classy and fitted even when paired with jeans and a button-up. Love that statement necklace, too!

20. Show off Your Wild Side

Remember, stalkers, animal print counts as a neutral. Endless possibilities!

Promise me you'll never believe anyone who tells you that a blazer isn't appropriate as formal wear.

So, are you a blazer aficionado? What's your favorite way to style this versatile, must-have piece?
