It’s Sunday night, I’m feeling pretty shattered and I’ve been trying to put this post together for a while now so please bare with me and the very weak piece that I am about to produce! I really just want to show you how awesome the double breasted blazer is and why it’s such a great investment piece (not here to sell my journalist skills, or lack of, for that matter).
An update on the oversized double breasted blazer. Its a great piece that goes with loads, from mini skirts to wide leg trousers, you name it. Its a wonderfully masculine style that looks so feminine (think subtle shoulder pads and the longer length give it the girly edge) buttoned up to show off a waistline or left undone for a more relaxed look. Keep it casual with a tee underneath. Its really an all year round piece that I’m positive you will find a go to when you’re feeling unsure. It dresses up casual to the right degree and dresses down formal to perfection especially if you push the sleeves up and let the front fall open nonchalantly.
Whilst you want to buy a relaxed fit, a blazer must fit well, even an oversized one. You want it to have a certain element of softness and to not be too stiff. Opt for the obvious grey or navy blue for longevity. Whilst plaid or houndstooth will get you all the extra style creds now! So I won’t apologise for my pathetically written post because I provide you with some awesomely inspirational pics to get your trend juices flowing!
Have a fantastic week everyone
