The right blazer can completely pull a look together; whether the look be formal or casual.

Blazers hit the runway by storm in 2011 and have since become a wardrobe staple. Blazers come in many different styles including oversized, cropped and the beloved boyfriend style. The boyfriend blazer is one of the most versatile jackets, being paired with dress pants for formal occasions and skinny jeans and a detailed tank for a night out.

There are certain guidelines that should be followed when selecting the right blazer for the new millenium. Gone are the days of shoulder pads and boxy silhouettes and in are the days of oversized shapes and flirty details. The right blazer is usually found in dark shades including black and charcoal grey. These shades help to makes the blazer more versatile.

There are many good places to look in your pursuit of the right blazer including Kohl’s and The Gap. Blazers come at many different price points so the amount you spend on it should be determined by the amount of wear you think you will get out of it. For less expensive blazers look at Marshalls to get a trendy brand name jacket for a discounted price.

Once you have your blazer you will feel confident and look chic from daytime to downtime.
