The best blazers for women have no seasonal restrictions and these 23 styles prove it
The best blazers for women have no seasonal restrictions. If you buy one well, it'll stand the test of time and quickly become the one item you rely most heavily on. Yep, even more than your favourite denim.
Perfect for draping over your shoulders at the office, adding that polished finishing touch to your workwear, or styling atop some lacy lingerie for date night, blazers are the fashion chameleon to beat all others. They go with everything from jeans and white t-shirts to mini skirts, wedding guest dresses and even tracksuit bottoms. So if you're having one of those days where you simply cannot bear to part with your loungewear, you'll be pleased to know that all you need to do to give your cuffed joggers that slightly more elevated finish is pair them with a blazer.
The moral of the story (however you're planning to wear one) is that it's important to know which shape to go for. While oversized blazers are all rage amongst the influencer crowd right now, you might prefer something more tailored, with a nipped-in waist for example, or one that's cropped, checked, double-breasted or pocketed. Fortunately, our favourite fashion brands stock every style under the sun, so the case of finding which silhouette works best for you is actually not that hard at all.
2023 is all about that borrowed-from-the-boys fit. Think: androgynous shapes, high-quality fabrics, sloped shoulders and loose sleeves that can be ruched up for an effortless, slung-on vibe.
We can't get enough of The Frankie Shop's Gelso blazer. It emanates the one thing everyone seems to want this year: quiet luxury. It's regularly spotted on the likes of Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, so, naturally, we need one in every colour. Elsewhere, sleeveless blazers inspired by this summer's waistcoat obsession are starting to take over (Zara's open-sided buckled design is top of our wishlist), and houndstooth and check patterns are everywhere.
No longer something to only dig out for corporate meetings or interviews, the best blazers for women have evolved to become something of a sartorial weapon. It's only right to own more of them.
