The quickest way to elevate any look is to throw on a blazer. No matter the base layer: tank, tee or blousy top. Treat it like an extra layer instead of a sweater or jean jacket. You can wear one just about anywhere and look stylish.
Double-breasted blazers, to me, are more interesting, especially given a military style: The buttons make the jacket.
I scored on two styles for fall, both on sale. The black is more versatile as the buttons are simple, lending the top to be the pop.
Which do you like best?
Rocker Tee Look
Black blazer by 1state from Nordstrom’s Anniversary Sale. Ruched sleeves and double breasted features step up the look without overdoing. Paired here with a rocker tee–a huge trend and mostly all from the 70s and 80s.
Jeans are Frame Pixie Flare and boots by Vionic, also purchased at the Nordstrom sale.
Dressy Top
The second look in the black 1State blazer is paired with a floral top that will work for a dinner out or drinks with friends when paired with jeans. Dress pants will work, but since the jacket is a separate, the blacks will be hard to match. Pair with heather gray, khaki or olive.
Top is by GenerationLove.
Classic Blue Blazer
The last look is a very cute and very cool blazer from Express. I haven’t shopped there since my twenties! A friend ordered two sizes and passed one on to me for a steal! All sizes still available for just $99!
Keep it simple with a plain white tee, this one a sleeveless crew by MichaelStars. Jeans, Moussy Vintage and the boots, Vionic with lug sole.
