3 Ways to Wear a Boyfriend Blazer
- Boyfriend Blazer by Fashion Bug, $34.99
The new Boyfriend Blazers are a no-brainer wardrobe staple. They can be used as outerwear in warmer weather or worn as part of an outfit in cooler temps. When shopping for this look in plus sizes, try to find a more tailored version. Yes, the look is supposed to be a little bit slouchier than a fitted jacket, but if its too loose it can look sloppy.
I like this blazer from Fashion Bug in part because of the light stripe pattern on the roll up cuffs. It’s hard to tell from the image if the jacket nips in at the waist but you can always tailor it if not (especially considering that the jacket is only $34.99! Here are three easy ways to rock this blazer:
-
- Look One: Calvin Klein Pleated Floral Dress
Look One: The whole idea of this blazer is that it’s supposed to look a little like you borrowed it from your boyfriend. So why not pair the manly jacket with a frilly floral dress? The Calvin Klein pleated floral dress pictured at right is in keeping with the bright retro florals that are so big for spring. I think the smocked details are especially cute and provide a great contrast to the serious tone of a blazer.
- Look Two: Etsy Fringe Necklace
Look Two: Another way to take a basic piece to a new place is with a really powerful accessory. A plus size blogger friend of mine just bought a fringed necklace from the LeilanniLand Etsy Shop. I am in LOVE with this Etsy designer because these necklaces are truly statement pieces that can completely change your look. You could pair the blazer with a white t-shirt and this necklace and make it dynamite. Plus, you get a custom made hand dyed piece none of your friends will have for only $45.
- Look Three: Calvin Klein Jeans
Look Three: When you think of blazers, you may think of suits and trousers. But the most modern way to wear suiting is to pair it with jeans. These slim cut jeans from Calvin Klein are tailored enough to wear in a business casual situation with a nice blouse. Or you could wear some torn up bleach spot jeans and a bright colored tank with the jacket and make it a weekend going out look.
