How To Wear a Longline Blazer to the Office
Who said our office-wear has to be boring? I love switching it up for the office! I like to keep things interesting; after all, we do spend a lot of time there. That being said, some trends really work as office-wear while others don’t quite pass the test. So, how can we tell the difference? In most cases, it has a lot to do with how it’s worn.
One of my favorite modern-day trends for the office are longline blazers. They’re so cool and trendy, yet they’re also chic and elegant. Best of both worlds, huh? This is one of those trends where it makes a big difference in how you style it so today, we’re showing you exactly how to wear a longline blazer to the office!
HOW TO WEAR A LONGLINE BLAZER TO THE OFFICE
1- Play With Proportions
Proportions are one of the most important aspects of fashion. You can highlight your positive traits and trick the eye when it comes to your insecurities. When it comes to a longline blazer, proportions make a huge difference! For instance, my longline blazer is long and loose fitting so I paired it with slim, straight trouser pants.
2- Keep It Simple
Simplicity is often the most elegant. I love when classic, clean lines and wardrobe staples make up the majority of a look. When styling your longline blazer, remember to keep it simple. My blazer is pretty standard aside from the length and that’s the main reason it works for the office. It’s just a black double breasted blazer but the sleeveless detailing and loose, long fit makes it trendy and modern.
3- Glam Up The Details
While you’ll want to keep the main pieces pretty simple with classic clean lines, feel free to add some glam to the details and accessories. My pumps are classic pointed toe heels but they’re gold glitter. I’m also wearing a fancy statement necklace! These types of details will really bring your look to the next level.

Gorgeous look! Although I don't work in an office, I could totally wear this by switching out the trouser pants for skinny jeans! Thanks for the outfit inspiration!
