If there were a prize for the jacket trend that has had the most airtime over the last few years, it would have to go to the blazer. As someone who has around five currently sitting in my wardrobe, I can attest to its versatility, timelessness and ease. With its boxy fit and premium-feel fabric, my Arket wool blazer is a personal highlight (so much so, that I actually bought it both black and beige), and it seems as though I am not alone in my love for this particular piece, as I’ve spotted it on countless fashionable influencers and editors on Instagram.
Coming in a handful of cool colourways—currently, black, beige, red and dusty blue—this blazer has certainly earned its reputation for being a classic wardrobe staple, especially since it’s pretty darn seasonless and available to buy at Arket year-round. And today it’s back in a chic new bright blue hue.
A popular versatile styling hack is to throw it over a simple jeans and T-shirt look, but I’ve also seen other fashion editors styling theirs over midi, maxi and mini dresses, with leggings and knee-high boots, or with the matching Hopsack trousers for a polished suit finish.
It truly comes into its own at this time of year, though. Mine are from a few years ago now and I still wear both colours on repeat all season, usually with a thin cashmere knit either under it or tied around my shoulders, and I can honestly say they still feel good as new because the quality is amazing.
