When it comes to dressing up for work, we love having a few blazers to jazz up our look. As soon as we wear one, we look polished and professional instantly, especially when we’re running late for a Zoom call.
But that’s not the only reason why we love our blazers. With different cuts and colours, the 9-to-5 wardrobe staple allows us to get creative with our WFH or office ensembles.
For a serious, “I mean business” look, you can always count on the classic black version. If you’re one to let your clothes tell your playful personality, then go for a cheery and colourful blazer.
Not sure where to begin? Well, you won’t have to look far. With the celebrity-approved styles below, you’ll never think of blazers as dull again.
A black, slim-cut blazer is one of the must-haves in every stylish woman’s office wardrobe. Not only does it give definition to your body, it’s also incredibly easy to style. Pair it with a white shirt and black shorts like Carrie above for a Zoom-ready look.
The matching Moschino set on Denise looks edgy while dripping attitude and style. Plus, its slim cut gives the wearer a sharp and sophisticated look without appearing too boring or serious.
The cheery and colourful prints on Jeanette’s blazer make her outfit impossible to miss. With such busy prints, you’ll want to keep the rest of your outfit pared down. For example, match printed blazers with a white button-down and loose jeans to look casual Friday-ready.
A boyfriend shirt isn’t the only thing we’d ‘borrow’ from our SO’s closet. Fann’s oversized blazer by Valentino looks like a stylish and comfy menswear piece; its boxy built is also perfect for those who wish to experiment with masculine dressing.
For a brainless boardroom-ready combo, you can always rely on co-ords. Sonia’s traffic-stopping yellow pieces will attract onlookers’ attention. Wear them as a set to make a lasting impression, or style them separately for a bit of colour play.
Picking a light colour blazer can make you look younger and more energetic. Proof? Check out Iman’s powder blue blazer above. Go all feminine by styling it with soft colours, or balance it out with dark tones.
Not a fan of slim blazers? Consider an XL design that allows you to get creative with body proportions. Keep the rest of your ensemble fitted, like what Yoyo did above, so that all attention is on the dramatic-looking blazer.
The good thing about earthy tones is that they pretty much fit any occasion. A beige blazer, for example, can look professional yet laidback. On workdays, style a tan version with an all-white ensemble for a chic 9-to-5 look. When the weekend rolls around, match it with a tee, shorts and tote, and you’re ready to meet your friends for brunch.
