A shopping guide to … the best women’s blazers | Fashion – Fashion | The Guardian

pink burgundy Gingham blazer

Shared from Fashion | The Guardian

Whether it’s to jazz up a simple outfit – or add substance to an evening one once we start socialising again – a blazer means business, and can be paired with trousers or skirts, jumpers, blouses, even camisole tops.

Gingham adds an extra layer of fun to a blazer – and purple is one of the colours of the season, too. Coloured cord is also sought after, and Boden’s jacket in baby pink brings a slice of classic Americana to any outfit.

Opting for a leather blazer requires a bit of thought. Think about the trousers, shoes and top you’re going to pair it with. In terms of the blazer itself, go with a classic, base colour from which you can grow your outfit. Finally, if in doubt, black is always the answer.
