Blazers

The blazer solves one specific type of dressing conundrum better than anything else. You need to look chic but not too chic. Smart but not formal. Formal enough for a meeting, casual enough to meet friends for lunch afterwards. The blazer sorts all of that with minimal effort on your part, which is exactly why a good blazer is worth investing in. Because we have been really fussy about what we include in this edit. There are thousands of blazers out there and most of them aren’t going to help you with your dressing dilemma. Too many that are so oversized they drown you instead of draping. Versions that are so structured they’re boxy. Fabrications that look good on a rail but feel awful by lunchtime. We’ve eliminated all of those criteria so that you’re left with blazers that work; in real life, on actual bodies, and when you actually need them to. There’s something for every occasion that you wear a blazer for now. From oversized but tailored styles that look like you’ve put effort in, not like you borrowed your boyfriend’s jacket. To slim fits in stretchy fabrics that look great with bootcut trousers or your favourite jeans. We even have linen blazers for summer that won’t look bulky. And for evenings out, there’s options in luxurious fabrics that elevate your entire outfit. As with all of our editing, we have kept things practical by organising into categories based on what you’ll wear them for. Because that’s how we all think about clothes don’t we? You don’t shop for clothing in the abstract. You need that blazer for an event. You need it to work with plenty of things you already own. That’s why we’ve included options for pretty much every occasion. A good blazer should last you ages too. They’re one of those ultimate wardrobe investments that you can rely on season after season. The navy double breasted blazer you wore to meet the boss in October will still look great when you throw it over a slip dress in June. That’s versatility that most pieces can’t offer. And it’s something we’ve looked for throughout this edit. We’ve been really fussy about which blazers make the cut because the blazer deserves that. Not all blazers are ‘proper’ blazers. These are.
