Boyfriend blazers trace back to the 80s where they were thought of as more of an alternative to coats. With the ever evolving fashion industry, bringing back boyfriend jeans, knitted jerseys etc, there’s no way that today’s age wouldn’t have thought of revolutionizing the look for a more breezy trend.
Blazers have been forever evolving, at some point serving as a symbol of empowerment for women and today they have taken the fashion industry by storm, establishing their status as a wardrobe essential.
A boyfriend blazer is a long, oversized, two or three buttoned V-front shaped blazer that gives a whole new look to an ordinary blazer-attire. With the help of shoulder pads, this outerwear cinches in your waist and elongates your legs. The most interesting thing about these is that there is absolutely no style that you can’t achieve should you plan on rocking them either to get a formal, casual or funky look. They literally flow with any occasion and this is how:
- Feel like Oversized Blazer for a late lunch with your significant other? Great! Know what’s even better?
If your blazer is a set you can pair that up with your favourite sleek tank or string top. Now, tuck in that top and get a more glamorous look.
Don’t forget to grab your heels for a more romantic and sassy look while you serve us that glow.
Sets often have that ‘easy going’ look, like you don’t have to try hard and that’s what you have to capitalize on. You could just throw in your bra-top and let that button serve as a way to give your posture a more structural pose.
Should your blazer miss a button, no worries, you could just cinch your waist with a belt over the blazer and still get that beautiful structural pose out anyway. Good thing about this look is buttoning up isn’t the only choice, yeah that’s right! You can still throw in your bra-top, or band-aid top and serve us your skin. Thinking of throwing in some jewelry to compliment your skin?
That’s great too! When you’re going out with your girls, you can spice up your look with heels. Wanna try that classy ghetto look? Just throw your all-stars or clean sneakers and you’re good to go still!
- Lunch with friends or some summer vibes with your girl gang and you wanna show off your flawless skin?
Then you can’t miss layering those shorts with a buttoned up blazer to get that sassy, classy, bossy and temptingly flattering look. What’s lovely about this whole blazer idea is you won’t run out of ideas when it comes to which of your favourite pair you can rock the whole look with.
I’m talking heels, sneakers, and sandals. If you’re not in the mood for buttoning up, you can always throw on your lazy tops, front knotted t-shirts or bra tops before layering up with the blazer. Now, do get this look and go ahead and play!
- Want to give a more casual yet breezy look? Try pairing your refreshing short dresses with an oversized blazer and you won’t have any regrets. Rock the whole look with some sneakers for some playtime or with heels to give out a sexy look. Maxi dresses are also one way to go around with your oversized blazer.
It’s all up to what your favourite shoe is and for what occasion are you pairing up your outfits for, but try rocking your maxi dress and blazer look with some boots or sneakers. You can’t go wrong with those!
- With the way boyfriend jeans are so trendy you surely can’t miss pairing these classics together. You could rock them with bra-tops or buttoned up shirts, then roll up your blazer sleeves to give that fine classic look.
Worn in style and in colour of the season, oversized boyfriend blazers are slated to be one of the hottest trends in the 2020-2021 fashion era. So now get up and go grab yourself the trendy look, and move with the seemingly ‘not only wearable but also comfy trend, ‘bigger is better.’
