Consider the oversized blazer a fuss-free essential. Whether it's your own or stolen straight out of your S.O.'s closet, this borrowed-from-the-boys, boxy silhouette is an elevated addition to any outfit. It can be thrown over a mini dress to step up your weekend attire, worn as a suit with matching trousers for an office look, or layered over thin knits with stellar denim and gold jewelry for a trendy take. This wardrobe staple is here for you no matter your style preference, from bright and girly to sleek and edgy. Scroll down and check out our top picks to add to your collection.
The Frankie Shop blazers have taken over Instagram, and if you haven't seen these tagged in every other post this is your wake-up call. The oversized shape is a laid-back and minimal take that can be paired with their matching trousers or any of your favorite dresses.
Take the leap on this investment piece. This Bottega Veneta blazer is oversized but still tailored, with amazing attention to detail. It will not only always be chic but will last you season after season.
Under $100, this slightly slouchy and single-breasted blazer is meant to be worn with the matching charcoal pants, but looks just as trendy layered over a chunky knit and your favorite denim jeans.
This find is anything but basic. Style this pastel-pink blazer with high waisted denim and statement mules and roll up the cuffs for a laid-back cool take.
The '70s called and they want their blazer back. The relaxed fit, padded shoulders, and rich forest green shade has us rummaging through our parents' attic to find more gems. Wear this blazer as a suit with its matching trousers and a chic white blouse.
The denim blazer is the perfect versatile piece for layering to work or over the weekend. Sport dark trousers and your favorite white sneakers for a casual off-duty look.
This boxy (faux) leather blazer is created to have a oversized roomy fit. Style it with a fitted tank, dark denim, and chunky rubber-soled boot for an edgy feel.
