I remember my first blazer purchase like it was yesterday. I was twenty years-old and had landed an interview for a summer internship at a digital fashion publication that I had my heart set on getting. I had nothing professional in my wardrobe at the time, so I frantically drove to a Zara location an hour away from my college campus to snag the last of a particular oversize floral blazer in my size. I also bought the matching skort but I’m embarrassed to admit that I wore a skort to an interview, so we’ll ignore that for now despite the fact that I did land the position.
Anyway, six years later and I’ve accumulated more blazers than I can count. Well technically it’s eleven, but you get the idea: I own a lot of blazers. I started wearing them outside of the workplace a few years ago and have never looked back. They not only make even the most casual of outfits feel more polished as you’ll see below, but all of my oversize fitting ones offer up a cool factor that you just can’t get with any other outerwear (just ask Hailey Bieber!) Lately, I’ve been wearing blazers on repeat, styling them in these five specific ways.
