When it comes to transitional clothing, nothing helps you extend the life of your summer wardrobe into the fall season better than a blazer. Blazers are pretty amazing if you think about it; the style choices are endless, they add a touch of flair to your outfit with minimal effort, and they keep you warm on those chilly nights that remind you that winter is coming.
Basically, blazers are magical.
This past weekend, I slowly transitioned my favorite blazers back to the front of my closet. I’ve racked up a few over the years and each of them unique in their own way. If there is one thing that I’ve learned, it’s that a quality blazer is much better than a closet full of blazers that rip apart after one wear.
For some fall style inspiration, I’ve rounded up my favorite ways to wear a blazer. Plus, I’m sharing a few new styles that I’ve got my eye on this fall season. Check them out below and let me know what your favorite style is! If you’ve got a favorite brand, please let me know! I’m always looking for a quality blazer at an amazing price!
SEQUIN BLAZERS ARE A GIRLS BEST FRIEND //
I personally believe that every woman in the world looks absolutely amazing in anything sequin. There is just something about the sparkly fabric that brings life to any outfit. So you can imagine that I love my sequin boyfriend blazer. I picked this up last year (unfortunately sold out!) from ASOS for under $100, and it’s been the most loved item in my closet.
From a office holiday party to a night out on the town with friends. This sequin blazer speaks for itself. My favorite way to style it is with a simple blouse and denim jean.

BE BOLD WITH COLOR //
Even if you work in a professional dress work environment, nothing is stopping you from showing your personality than with a bold pop of color. I picked up this Zara blazer years ago and still to this day, whenever I wear it to the office I get complimented left and right.
Don’t shy away from a bold color when it comes to picking up a new blazer. Just make sure the cut is flattering and keep the rest of our outfit subtle.

BELIEVE IN TWEED //
Coco Chanel gave tweed jackets a powerful place in women’s fashion and the style lives on today. Stick with this classic fabric for a polished a professional look for the office. I picked up this blazer years ago from Piperlime (RIP) and it’s the best thing to throw on when I’m in the business casual mood.
My jacket is far from an invest piece but that’s the best thing about tweed. No matter what, the fabric just looks luxe!

SIMPLY LAYERED //
Don’t be afraid to mix materials! A chambray shirt is my favorite all season shirt option and nothing helps you feel more put together with such a casual shirt than a structured black blazer. A fitted silhouette is the best way to look effortlessly casual.
Don’t be afraid to get your classic black blazer tailored. It can easily make a simple $40 blazer look like a $500 blazer!

PERFECTLY PASTEL //
When it comes to dressing for fall, there are no rules to follow. We wear white after Labor Day and sandals in the winter, why not wear pastel’s too! With the holiday season gearing up, pick up a pastel blazer for a fun and creative way to stand out again the sparkle and shine.
Pastel pinks and lavenders are my favorite colors of the fall season. Reminding me that just because it’s getting cold, we are never too far way from warm weather.
