Gone are the days when the only time you’d dust off and don a blazer was for a stuffy job interview. Today, they’re an integral part of our wardrobes, bestowing everything we choose to wear them with—be it a floral dress, mini skirt, or a pair of jeans—with a polished finish.
With the power to make you feel powerful, stylish, and put-together as soon as you slip one on, it’s little wonder that blazers trend year-round, though, in our opinion, their appeal peaks in spring. As we shed our winter years, blazers become the perfect transeasonal cover-up.
Many of the best blazers out there have oversized silhouettes (or can be bought a size up without sacrificing the overall aesthetic), meaning they can be layered over jumpers until temperatures rise. When they eventually do, they look the sophisticated part paired even the most basic t-shirt and trousers. Case in point: The following looks. We’ve found seven incredible spring blazer outfits to try this season; scroll below to see them and to shop the key pieces to re-create the outfits for yourself.
Style Notes: Aimee is a master at monochromatic dressing—wearing different tones of one or similar shades top-to-toe. Though we think this peach blazer ensemble might just be her best interpretation of the look.
Style Notes: Don’t feel restricted by the silhouette of your blazer—as Lydia proves, the boxy jacket looks just as great with a belt worn over the top.
Style Notes: As Aïda attests, a white blazer will help breathe new life into your darker wardrobe staples or your trusty denim.
Style Notes: Wearing a blazer over a dress might not seem like a natural pairing, but if it looks half as chic on us as it does Marissa, we think it’s worth trying.
Style Notes: Checked blazers always make a comeback in the winter months, but run the risk of feeling too dark come spring. Make like Jen and give them an instant lift with pastel or bright trousers.
Style Notes: Satin skirts may feel like after-dark fodder but, with an oversized blazer, it creates the ultimate high-low combination.
Style Notes: While not all blazers will come with matching trousers, if they do, we always recommend investing in the set as another fool-proof and effortless outfit option.
