Ever wondered what to wear for a day out during the chillier months?
Blazers will be your go-to! I always thought that blazers were only for suits, until I styled them with jeans and figured out they are the perfect way to elevate your look. Wore this look to school and it kept me warm in the AC-blasted classrooms but stylish enough to feel like the best dressed person on campus.

Getting Colorful
When it comes to getting colored blazers, I suggest getting certain colors that will fit the overall aesthetic of your closet. For example, I am a pink girl, so the safest option would be this beautiful lilac blazer because it incorporates the color in my closet that will match with the most outfits I already own.

Styling Blazers
Dressing up a blazer is super easy, just pair with some nice pants, kind of like a suit. You can wear a nice button down shirt under the jacket or act like a Vogued model and wear the jacket buttoned up without something under (really sexy but chic and sophisticated look for a date or event). Pair with some nice pumps and a up-do (like a high or low ponytail) to complete the look. Since the outfit really pops, keep the jewelry simple so the focus stays on the attire ( a watch and a few rings would work nicely. Keep to studs on earrings!) Dressing down a blazer is a whole other story that isn’t as hard as it may seem. There are 2 routes you can really go: jeans or a skirt. Go with a skirt on the days when it is less cold and you want a more styled, done-up look. Go with jeans for outings like going to work or school, when you want to look professional but want to stay comfortable. Pair with nice tennis shoes or sandals to keep the look classy and of course add jewelry to complete the look. I suggest for hairstyles going with a more professional look, meaning less pigtails and more curls or twists. Paired mine with a knotted headband from Amazon that duped Gucci. Overall, blazers are a timeless edition to your closet and taking advantage of this Ann Taylor sale is must!
