Blaze into Fall

It's a staple in everyone's wardrobe, you can throw it on with almost anything and it's the easiest way to instantly polish your look. It's the boyfriend blazer. Having a well-fitted, well-constructed blazer jacket is a must and The Style Department is here to show you how to wear it with poise.

At work:
Obviously a blazer is easy to wear in the office. It's important to remember though, you don't have to wear it with matching pants. Pairing the jacket with a coloured trouser or pencil skirt is a great way to get more wear out of this topper. Remember that this season is all about miss-match patterns, prints and textures.

In the afternoon:
You shouldn't neglect your blazer on the weekends! Throw on some skinny jeans and a printed V-neck and you are ready for a lunch date, shopping or coffee with friends! This season, grab a pair of wedged ankle boots to complete the look.

Evening out:
The blazer is great to wear out in the evenings and it can be dressed up or down depending on what you pair it with. Textured tights, high waisted shorts and knee high boots are a great option. Your blazer will pull your outfit together and keep you warm once the temperature drops. 

Lesson to be learned: A well rounded wardrobe consists of several key pieces along with plenty of personal accents. So remember, wear your blazer and don't let your blazer wear you!
