Regardless of the time of year, blazers are essential. While they're ideal for layering in the colder months, when temperatures rise they're the perfect lightweight cover-up when temperatures rise. Along with my jeans and extensive white T-shirt collection, blazers are one of the few things in my wardrobe I can legitimately say that I wear every season. But they feel particularly suitable for spring and its unpredictable weather, acting as easy outerwear for milder days.
With so much wear, however, comes the risk of fatigue—of being stuck in some sort of outfit Groundhog Day type scenario. Blazers deserve better, and more importantly, you deserve better. So I’ve rounded up 10 classic blazer outfits you can style on a whim and know they’re going to look chicer than chic.
As seen on some of my favourite sources of fashion inspiration and utilising pieces I expect you’ll already have in your wardrobe, these classic blazer outfits might be simple, but they’ll never let you down. Scroll on to see them and, should you feel so inclined, shop the key items you’ll need to re-create them.
1. BLAZER + BLACK DRESS + LOAFERS
Style Notes: Outfit combinations don’t come much sleeker than this. Fortunately, it’s super easy to re-create, too. Replace the loafers with tall boots when it’s chilly out, or try switching in heels for Friday night drinks.
Shop the Look:
You can always turn to Reformation for stylish, contemporary staples.
A perfect warm weather black summer dress.
A chunky sole loafer will always look stylish.
2. BLAZER + BLACK LEGGINGS + HEELED SANDALS
Style Notes: Fashion people are continuing to serve up elevated ways to wear leggings this season. My favourite interpretation involves a blazer and heeled sandals, courtesy of Tanice Elizabeth, which is such a cool evening look. Just add a t-shirt for day wear.
Shop the Look:
Great blazers don't have to cost a fortune.
Comfortable and stylish? Sign me up.
A minimalist's dream heel.
3. BLAZER + KNITTED DRESS
Style Notes: This has become my go-to outfit combination this season. A knit dress is ideal for cooler days, while the butter yellow keeps it in the spring mood.
Shop the Look:
Such a gorgeous colour and cut.
You can use this blazer to create so many looks.
These loafers are unbelievably elegant.
I love how Dawn uses this more casual COS bag to soften her look.
4. BLAZER + MATCHING TROUSERS + FLATS
Style Notes: Suits aren't just for the office any more. While this is professional enough for the office, it could easily work for weekends, too.
Shop the Look:
The directional design gives this a distinctive edge.
Of course, you can also style the pieces separately.
Such an elegant flat.
5. BLAZER + TAILORED TROUSERS + TRAINERS
Style Notes: Blazers might have once been considered office attire, but no more! With the addition of trainers, they look understated and cool—particularly when styled with tailored trousers.
Shop the Look:
Everyone needs a good black blazer, and this one is definitely worth the investment.
Easy to smarten up or wear casually with sneakers.
A chunky white sneaker always looks cool.
6. BLAZER + WHITE JEANS + HEELED MULES
Style Notes: White jeans are a spring must-have, and a pairing them with a blazer really makes them look extra polished. Finish off the look with a heeled mule to keep it looking contemporary.
Shop the Look:
A chocolate brown blazer is deliciously good.
So many editors own these exact jeans.
These could be used for so many outfits, day or night.
7. BLAZER + WHITE SHIRT + BLACK JEANS
Style Notes: Simple, yet so effective—a blazer is the perfect way to mix of your go-to jeans outfit.
Shop the Look:
This versatile blazer is just oversized enough.
An equally valuable wardrobe staple
These jeans are just so good—it's why so many influencers swear by them.
8. BLAZER + FULL SKIRT + LOAFERS
Style Notes: Switch up your blazer game by investing in a cream or light-hued jacket, then wear it nonchalantly over this year's full-volume skirt and finish with snazzy loafers. Sticking to one colour palette will always ensure your ’fit works.
Shop the Look:
A white linen blazer is perfect for warm days.
Simply stunning.
The gold accent makes all the difference.
9. BLAZER + PRINTED TEE + LEATHER TROUSERS
Style Notes: Just when you thought nothing could be better than the jeans-and-blazer pairing, along comes this ensemble featuring forever trendy leather trousers. I love how Jeannine has broken her all-black outfit up with the addition of a printed tee.
Shop the Look:
Minimalists, I've found your dream blazer.
It's impossible to be in a bad mood with this T-shirt on. It's no wonder Ganni's t-shirts always sell out.
Leather trousers have a timeless coolness.
10. BLAZER + DRESS + HEELS
Style Notes: A blazer and dress combination is a classic, but Abi takes it a step further by going for a monotone outfit one of this season's top colours, red. Genius.
Shop the Look:
This could also look great with a white t-shirt and black jeans.
This statement midi can be dressed up or down.
The final touch.
