Whether seen on the streets on or runways, the blazer has remained one of the most timeless pieces in the fashion world that has rightfully earned a place in anyone’s closet. And refreshingly, long gone are the days when the only time to wear a blazer was an occasion that called for a formal dress code. Instead, blazers have now transformed into their own, universal clothing category, suitable for anyone to style and wear for any occasion. They’re the ultimate piece that pulls just about any outfit together and because of it, the opportunities to wear it are now endless — making it one of the top wardrobe staples to invest in.
So, if you don’t already have one in your wardrobe, let this be your sign to consider investing in one.
Today, you can find just about any outfit whether it’s casual or formal, benefiting from this staple piece. Running out for errands in some workout gear? You can throw on a blazer to add a refined touch to the entire look. Wanting to dress up some jeans and sneakers? Add a blazer to elevate your casual ensemble.
