21 Stunning Ways to Style a Blazer ...

So, I'm a huge fan of blazers, right? It's a fairly recent phenomenon, but they're my favorite outfit staple. Wear a blazer with a tee shirt, a tank, a skirt, a pair of capris … there are so many possibilities, many of which are office appropriate but still able to seamlessly transition from day to evening. Since winter is the perfect time for layering, I thought I'd share some of my top-most styling types – and please, please, please-please-please do share yours, too!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

Back to Black

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

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.

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!
