A blazer is a staple closet item for many reasons. My preferred: elevated event dressing.
words by LUCY BULLING • Fashion
I LOVE BLAZERS. I COULD WEAR ONE EVERY DAY. I OFTEN DO. BUT I LIKE TO HAVE A FEW DIFFERENT STYLES AND APPROACHES IN MY ROTATION SO I DON’T LOOK LIKE I’M ALWAYS WEARING THE SAME THING.
Look 1: CINCHED WAIST
Louis Vuitton blazer
A blazer with a cinched waist allows for the body to remain a focal point of an outfit, despite being all covered up. Pair with a high-waist trouser for balance and added edge.
Look 2: MATCHING ENSEMBLE
SALVATORE FERRAGAMO suit
A colorful set gives the allure of a suit, without the feeling you’re headed to the bank. That’s fine sometimes – but it’s not always what you want. A colored suit is daring and fun, and makes the daily grind that little more bearable.
Look 3: A LAYERED APPROACH
CALVIN KLEIN blazer & vest
Adding a layer to your blazer makes this signature piece more versatile, especially during the cooler months. A vest, like this quilted one from Calvin Klein, gives a blazer a sporty edge. Complete the boxy-up-top look with shorts, to show off the leg.
Look 4: WHITE BLAZER
GABRIELA HEARST Blazer
A white blazer is perfect for summer eventing; it’s sleek and makes any look instantly more refined. Going for a fitted version is recommended, as white can act like a camera, and well you know the saying…
