If you can’t figure out what to wear right now, don’t worry—you’re not alone. Many of us are feeling the same way, especially since winter is in full swing one minute (hello, snow!) and then the temperatures lift and it’s time to bring strip off the layers again. It’s during these times that I like to turn to my most reliable outfits, which help me look effortlessly chic and feel my best, no matter the weather.
When in doubt, simple and effective is my motto, and recently, the look I’ve been reaching for over and over is a classic blazer-and-legging combo. It’s comfy thanks to the leggings and polished thanks to the blazer—a piece that just so happens to also be the perfect winter layer. So really, it’s a win-win, and the best part is that this pairing can be reimagined in so many different ways to keep it feeling fresh all season long.
Below, I’ve found six blazer-and-legging looks that feel especially current. They range from celebrity-inspired to influencer-approved, but they all involve minimalist (read: easy to style) formulas that you can throw on in the morning and still look as pulled-together in by the end of the day.
Whether you prefer boots, heels or flat shoes; tweed, classic or leather blazers; stirrup, split-hem or standard leggings, there’s outfit inspo here to suit everyone’s taste. (You can even put some of these outfits together with pieces you already own.) Plus, each outfit can take you from meetings to after-work drinks with hardly any effort.
Keep scrolling to see just how versatile this outfit combo can be. You can also shop each outfit in case you spot anything you’d like to copy!
