The Boyfriend Blazer


A fantastic transitional piece to invest in right now is the
Black Boyfriend Blazer
. Named after a man but definitely made for a woman. Boyfriend blazers are a hot trend right now, but they are more than just one-trick-pony jackets! They are super versatile: they can easily be worn casually with great denim, but they can also be dressed up for any event without much effort at all.

Pair your favorite Boyfriend black blazer with
a short or long evening dress. Stay warm and trendy at the same time.
• great jeans. Add stunning, strappy heels for evening flair or ballet flats for casual cool.
• leggings. Any color leggings and black boots will streamline this entire ensemble.
• layered tops. The friendliest fashion trend is layering. A tank with a tee overtop paired with your boyfriend blazer makes for a chic, comfortable, temperature-friendly look.
• the white blouse. Nothing more classic than the white blouse. Find one with romantic ruffles to give your boyfriend blazer the out-of-office look you want.

How to Accessorize the Boyfriend Jacket
Once you’ve chosen your outfit, it’s time to accessorize. You don’t have to overdo it – the boyfriend jacket is statement enough.
Necklaces, necklaces, necklaces. You can wear one chain with a large pendant as a statement piece. Or pile on multi-colored and multi-stringed necklaces for an even hotter look. Tall women can do it all when it come to accessories.
• Scarves. You can find any color, pattern, style, and texture of scarf in the closets of today’s fashion forward folks. Throw on a silk scarf to dress up your jacket or wind a long scarf around your neck for an unforgettable color pop.
• Bangle bracelets. Since you’ve rolled up those sleeves, you’ve got some delicate wrist territory that could use a little decorating. Mix thick and thin gold bangles together, or throw on one chunky wrist cuff for the ultimate statement piece.


The bottom line is this – the boyfriend blazer is the friendliest fashion trend this season but be sure to find one that fits you properly. Tall women need the waist to hit in the proper spot and the sleeve lengths to be long enough to pull off the look flawlessly.
Jacket shown above is available at www.longlegs.ca $135.00.
