Simple and stylish blazers

The blazer has been a fashion essential ever since the idea of masculine chic was invented. The prominent structure of a blazer revitalises and pulls together any outfit.

Everything looks good with a blazer thrown over it. Fact.

For me, the best thing about blazers is the fact that everything works. Pair it with matching trousers and you get a conservative, work appropriate look. Or wear it with a tee and distressed jeans for a casual weekend look. Even layering it over a mini dress for a night on the town works.

The reason why I'm talking about blazers is the fact that, this year they are making a fashion comeback. Blazers are getting back to the basics in classic shapes, neutral colours and a reasonable balance of masculine and feminine designs.


Here are some of my favourites:


This Topshop Grey Boyfriend Blazer is great for those casual days. Pair it with skinny jeans, boots and a simple tee for an effortless yet stylish look. For £65.00, I think you could find something a little better with a much lower price tag, however if you have the money to spend, this is definitely a good choice.

H&M have always been a favourite brand of mine because of their vast selection of simple and colourful pieces. Their new blazers are simple yet fashionable with a wide range of bright colours. My favourites are the pink, red and blue and at £24.99 each, you can't go wrong!

Everyone needs that staple, black blazer that goes with everything and anything. I really like the look of this Theory Risea Stretch-Wool Jacket (it's called a jacket, but it's definitely a blazer) from Net-a-Porter. It's simple yet incredibly wearable, and you can see this by the image above - the blazer is paired with a white tee, high-wasted trousers and nude pumps.

Unfortunately, this bad boy costs £375 and I'm 99.8% certain most of us wouldn't fork out that much on a blazer - especially a black one. So here is a pocket-friendly alternative...




Here we have a black long sleeve blazer from River Island that is only £55.00 compared to the Theory blazer. My advice is to buy a cheaper blazer and dress it up by adding lavishing accessorises and pairing it with bright shoes.
