Blazing Blazers

Blazers are a staple for every women's wardrobe, they can be dressed up for a professional day at the office, or be worn casually for a night out with the girls or boys.

Putting together a blazer outfit is pretty simple, my favorite silhouette to follow for the professional attire is the upside down triangle. You can achieve this by finding a blazer with should pads ( I know most women don't like the idea of shoulder pads, but trust me, it will give you a power stance.) Pair the blazer with a accent top of your liking, for example: a low jewel neck top with gem accents. For the bottoms find a pair of dark wash skinny jeans, these will elongate you while making you look slimmer. If your not one for skinny jeans, find a straight leg pant. ( Cropped skinny jeans will also work. ) Now for our favorite part. The shoes! Match this outfit with your favorite pointed high heel shoe, preferably with a accent that matches your top. This will add interest, pull the outfit together, and of course make your legs look longer.



Wearing a blazer casually is pretty simple as well, pair a novelty blazer such as the ones above in bright colours, or you can try prints if your feel more adventurous, my favorite novelty is the striped blazer. Once you've made your pick, you can wear anything you like, just build your outfit around the blazer. My favorite silhouette for casual look is the A-line. You can achieve this look by pairing your favorite tank ( with accents or not ) with a flared skirt, finished off with the perfect heel, and your ready to hit a night out.

Have fun putting together your outfits, experiment with prints and colours until you feel comfortable and rock it!
