A blazer is a staple every girl needs in her closet. Whether you’re headed off to work or just going out with your girls, it is the perfect addition to any outfit. With the weather getting cooler, we now have the perfect excuse to work this piece back into our outfits this year. Blazers are typically associated with work and professionalism, so it can seem challenging to style them the right way on the daily. Because I’ve been having a little trouble getting creative with wearing them, I decided to turn to our community members for inspiration. As the most fashion-forward group I know, they didn’t disappoint, no surprise. See how they all rock this trend below and try these ideas yourself.
Turn down the Saturation with a Gray Blazer
Feel intimidated by black blazers? Opt for a more subdued look by wearing a gray blazer over a satin camisole and jeans. Complete the look with white booties.

Toss a Plaid Blazer over a Dress
Not sure how to complete your outfit this fall? It’s pretty simple. Just add a plaid blazer! Throw it over top of a shift dress. If you’re looking for more of street style vibe, style it with white sneakers. Otherwise, up your fall fashion game by pairing it with heeled booties.

Keep it Classic with a Black Blazer
You don’t have to limit your fave black blazer just to your job or internship. You can dress it down by pairing it with a white T-shirt and sneakers.
