Long gone are the days when blazers were solely reserved for nine-to-five corporate wear. Blazers are trending and have really become the ultimate wardrobe staple that can effortlessly elevate any outfit. And, as someone whose own personal blazer collection has grown plenty over the years, I’ve really come to love the way this piece can transform an everyday look.
Blazers make an ideal layering piece, effortlessly complementing everything from casual tees with sneakers to long dresses with heels. There are endless possibilities for what to wear with a blazer, making them incredibly easy to dress up or down depending on the occasion.
Whether you’re heading out for brunch and errands or stepping out for a night on the town, a blazer serves as the perfect piece to enhance your look. With a wide variety of styles available, from oversized and boyfriend cuts to structured and cropped designs, there’s truly a blazer for every taste and outing.
I put together some of my go-to ideas for how to style a blazer to hopefully inspire you to wear them with any look.
How to Style a Blazer
Blazer With a White T-Shirt
First up is this look with a white tee, mid-rise barrel jeans, and a pair of fun sneakers – perfect inspiration for how to style a blazer casually. The wide leg jeans work really well to dress down the blazer.
With such a good foundation you could really add any accessories to complete the outfit, but I personally like the idea of keeping this look timeless and classic with a black mini bag and pair of cat eye sunglasses. Finish it off by adding some gold jewelry, like these chain earrings and this thick bangle.
Blazer With a Midi Dress
Who doesn’t love wearing a knit dress? I mean seriously, they are so comfortable and can be worn during so many seasons. Layering a blazer over a dress is such an easy way to elevate the whole look but you can also keep it pretty casual by wearing sneakers.
If you’re looking for a way to style a blazer for a night out, I actually love this full look – just trade in the sneakers for a good pair of strappy heels and you’ll be good to go! The gold jewelry works again with this outfit for both a casual look or a dressier style, and the black leather bag and sunglasses tie everything together.
Blazer With White Shorts
Next up on my list of blazer outfit ideas is pairing one with some white linen shorts. It doesn’t get more perfect for summer than this. I love a monochromatic moment, so I styled this look with a fun white feather tee and some chunky white heels.
Craving a pop of color? If so, you could incorporate some coral beaded earrings. And last but not least, this palm leaf bag makes such a fun finishing touch. Overall, this outfit would be so cute for your next girls trip somewhere warm (Miami, anyone?)
Blazer With Horseshoe Jeans
For another idea on how to style a blazer with jeans, try a combo of horseshoe jeans, your favorite blazer, and a pair of white pumps. You can never go wrong with a classic white button down and a little black bag. Another idea is swapping out these jeans for a pair of white jeans for another all-white look with a blazer.
Throw on these silver and gold earrings and your favorite lipstick to add some more dimension. This look is perfect for any occasion, but is also another fun way to style a blazer for a night out, since it could easily transition from a day-to-evening outfit.
