How To Style An Oversized Blazer Office Look
Blazers are a long-time favorite piece of mine! There is nothing else that can instantly transform a stylish piece into a professional look and turn a casual weekend look into the epitome of chic. It makes for a flawless transition piece!
What’s even better than a blazer? An oversize blazer! It’s big. It’s roomy. It’s so comfortable! But this can be a little bit of a tricky trend, especially when styling it for the office.
Here’s a few tips to get it right every time!
1- It’s all about lengths and proportions.
The variance in proportions and lengths will make for a really interesting and unique look! This includes high-waisted skirts or pants and long or dainty accessories. The play on lengths and sizes just adds a sense of balance and will make your blazer look less out of place.
For my look, I chose a high-waisted skirt, dainty necklaces, and a clutch with a long chain strap.
2- Add some feminine details.
I
know I always say this, but it’s really true! An oversized, or
boyfriend, blazer can seem masculine. It’s fun to take that and pair it
with edgy elements- like ripped jeans or studded pumps- for the weekend.
But for your 9 to 5, it’s definitely important to keep it classy.
Feminine details can be anything from ruffles and lace to color palette-
like blush, nude, or mint.

For my look, I selected a ruffled skirt with an abstract floral print.
3- Less is more.
Keep
your look simple! No need to go crazy with mixing colors, patterns, or
textures. Try to stick with a basic color palette consisting of two or
three colors and a few accessories.

For my look, I went with a classic neutral color palette of black, white, and grey with a pop of mint.
