How to wear a blazer without looking too serious?
If you’ve never worn the blazer outside of the office, now you would.
Just like the trench coat, the little black dress and a denim jacket, the blazer is one of those timeless pieces that’s essential to every wardrobe. Black or navy, the blazer, however, does tend to give off a rather serious vibes – reason why you would wear it to business meetings. Fret not though, we’ve got just the tips to tone it down a little so you can wear your favourite blazer outside the office.
HOW TO MODERNIZE THE BLAZER?
With a feminine dress – Wear something extra long with delicate veil and lace, to add a feminine touch to it. The detail to copy: add a belt over the balzer to create a beautifully defined waist.
With a sportswear outfit. A hoodie, cap or sneakers, it plays down the strict blazer beautifully.
Play with the boyish look. Sieve through the menswear department and experiment with the masculine-feminine look. Try an elegantly knotted square neck, with a hat and derbies, and you’ll be flaunting the preppy style to no end.
