Our 3 fave ways to wear a blazer

Check these out, too...

  • Tune up your summer concert wardrobe with these picks

  • 6 handbags every girl should own
It’s easy to condemn blazers to an eternal spot in your mom’s business attire, but when you break it down, blazers are a great go-to item that every girl should have. They’re sleek, timeless and so versatile that you can grab one and go with absolutely no drama. With so many styles to choose from, it can be overwhelming, but what’s so great about all the options is that there’s bound to be the perfect blazer just for you—here’s how to rock a blazer with any outfit.

 

…with a dress

Cropped blazers look awesome with cute day dresses. Because the blazer is shorter and more fitted, the silhouette of the dress won’t disappear. With so many different dress and blazer combos, the possibilities are endless! Warm this look up with tights and bulky socks under your fave boots to finish the outfit.

Collared Polka Dot Dress W/ Belt, $25, forever21.com

 

Knee Socks in Wool, $10, hm.com

 

Bamboo Picnic-02 Leatherette Lace Up Ankle Bootie, $28, urbanog.com

 

…with jeans

Play with print! Pair some dark wash skinnies with a vibrant blazer to make your outfit pop. Crazy prints can work really well if they aren’t fighting for attention against other bold accessories. Let the blazer do the talking on this outfit by pairing it with a neutral tee or a crisp button-down and ballet flats. This floral blazer and studded shoe combo looks fierce and girly at the same time—the perfect mix.

Blouse, $13, hm.com

…with leggings

Boyfriend blazers can be just as comfortable as your favorite sweatshirt, and pairing them with a pair of leggings means ultimate coziness without sacrificing any style! Layer an oversized blazer over your fave graphic tee and you’ll look effortlessly put-together. Lace up some combat boots and complete this cool-girl uniform.

I have a peach colored blazer. What colors would go with it and what would it look good with.

 

Hey girly, I love blazers! try beige, gray, white, blue and green shades. With a little experimenting, you're sure to find a winning color combo for your outfit.

I'm having the same problem My thighs are giant so r my calves I need help with cute inexpensive jeans. I have a major hourglass shape which makes alot of clothes not look great on me.Also my school has a dress code nothing above knee and three finger wide straps I need more ideas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey girly, try a boot leg cut jeans to bring attention away from your thighs and pants with a seem or stripe on the side to slim your legs.

Just because you have large thighs doesn't mean you can't wear skinny jeans! Try a size larger, or try different stores. If you want, you can try straight leg jeans. You can also try jeggings. Or even try the plus size section, if you think they might fit better. It just depends on your build. If you want to tone your tights, try squats, lunges, biking, join a sport, running, or even ice skating! Ice skating is an awesome exercise for the whole body, and once you get the hang of it is is amazingly fun!

I did a chalk painting today and got chalk ALL over my clothes! How do i get it out? Thanks!

 

Hey YayaYuiki, you can try wiping your clothing with a damp rag. If it fails, just throw everything in the wash. How did your chalk painting turn out? Xoxo
