Finding a good layering piece is like finding a best friend. You can take them anywhere, they complement you and they are always up for a challenge. This gorgeous spring weather we are experiencing in the city is rare—we are only treated to it for around two weeks. However, our layering pieces will far outlive the spring season. These pieces are essential year round. Like a best friend, they never leave our side.
This Fashionista’s blazer is a spring staple no woman should be without. Blazers are an excellent alternative to jackets because they include the fit and shape that overcoats and sweaters lack. This piece is unique in its length. Most blazers are cut at the waist, making them suitable work attire. This Fashionista’s blazer has excess fabric that flows at the bottom, which releases some of the tension from what would have been a more structured, traditional blazer. It becomes more casual and acceptable for daytime.
No matter where you go, you cannot escape layering. It is the one part of the fashion industry that will always catch up with you. Hopefully you have discovered here that it is not as hard as it looks.
How To: Next time you are out shopping, give a more structured piece off the racks a try. Pair it with trusty jeans and a mean heel like this Fashionista for a business casual look or a slip dress for a look guaranteed to take you through the day and the rest of summer.
