Thereâs so much to be said about the ubiquitous oversized blazer.
Itâs at once timeless and versatile, allowing you a multitude of ways in which you can re-style it over and over again for the workplace. And in spite of its classic nature, it also carries an air of coolness â that effortless, âjust threw this onâ vibe as you saunter into the office.
So hereâs the challenge: what if you could take the same oversized blazer, and wear it from Monday to Friday. Whether youâre making power moves or shuffling out the door to after-work drinks, here are some of our favourite ways to pair the classic roomy blazer.
