Blazers - A wardrobe staple

A blazer can be a very handy item of clothing to have in your wardrobe. According to Wikipedia; "A blazer is a type of jacket resembling a suit jacket, but cut more casually. A blazer is generally distinguished from a sportcoat as a more formal garment and tailored from solid color fabrics. Blazers often have naval-style metal buttons to reflect their origins as jackets worn by boating club members."

A blazer is one of those staple items that you can dress up or down, throw on with smart trousers or ripped jeans. At this trans-seasonal time of year a blazer is great to throw on instead of a jumper or cardi if you want a slightly smarter look. I love the linen blend blazers for Spring/Summer, and I also love the pastel colours although not everyone can wear them.

Here's my pick from the shops;
Ezibuy Heine blazer $139.99, French Connection Crossover back blazer AU$149.95,(smaller picture is of the back of this jacket as I love the cut), Max Cotton blazer $149.99, ASOS Linen blazer $87.71, Witchery linen blazer $209.90, Glassons tailored crop blazer $69.99, Forever New Molly boyfriend blazer AU$69.99, Storm Staple Jacket $249.00.

Here's a couple of different ways that you could style them...
For a relaxed Sunday brunch try a lovely soft drape linen blazer with a statement tee, boyfriend jeans and silver sliders. Always add some sort of jewellery to finish the look, here a Long necklace and large circle bracelet add interest.
Witchery linen blazer $209.90, Decjuba Tomboy Tee $49.95, Seed H Fine circle necklace AU$14.95, Country Road Round bracelet $89.90, Jeanswest Sammi crop boyfriend jean $139.00, Country Road Ruthie sandal $89.90.

I also checked out the new look Glassons store in Westfield Mall, Albany. I think the new layout looks great and there were quite a few pieces that I liked. I tried on their tailored crop blazer and styled it in a few different ways so you can see what a must-have piece the blazer is! (Glassons currently has 30% off everything in store!)
Glassons tailored crop blazer $69.99, V-neck midi dress $34.99, Animal print scoop hem blouse $20.99, Deep V Kimono playsuit $41.99
