Hey everyone
Blazers are a wardrobe staple, they come handy no matter what the lifestyle. I can say that from my lifestyle which is causal but i do reach out for them for some meeting or any occasion that needs me to be more put together. But i can’t just have them sitting in my wardrobe for those few occasions, i love to make them work as they make a great piece for a casual chic look. Today i am sharing my top 5 easy tips to make the blazer work for a casual look:
- Pair with jeans- Wearing with jeans instantly makes the blazer casual, semi casual at least. If you choose ripped, boyfriend or the now trending frayed hem or step hem styles as worn today the look becomes even more casual.
- Casual tee- As the name suggests casual tees make any look casual. Choose a slogan tee, which is again a huge trend this spring summer to wear under the blazer for the perfect casual chic look.
- Shoes are very important, sneakers paired with blazers are a great option, flats bring down the formal quotient of the blazer a lot, pumps work too if they are in a casual style like a round toe as worn here. Mules and loafers will work very well with a blazer for a casual look for ss17!!!
- Crunch up the sleeves of the blazer, crunching sleeves of anything makes it casual.
- Keep your hair natural or in a messy braid.
What i wore- Blazer- River Island, Jeans- Asos, Shoes- Asos, Slogan tee- similar
This pinstripe blazer is from River Island and i am kinda obsessing over the military style, they have a couple of other colours in the ruched sleeve style, check here.
Jeans, tee and blazer is one of my favourite city looks. One i always love to wear when in London town. Its super chic and forever in fashion, maybe i try to wear updated versions to be season appropriate but the elements remain the same.
Thank you for stopping by! See you with my next one.
Love
Chichi
I love everything about this!

Love how you mixed a classic pinstripe blazer with frayed hem jeans. That tee is great and I always love it when you wear those white pumps. =)

I love how a more casual blazer can look with any outfit, especially the jersey material ones as opposed to suit style material x
ReplyDeleteMy wife likes blazers a lot but never wears them because she can't work out what goes with them. Will have to show her this.

The high waist jeans look great on you. The blazer is a great addition as it makes the whole outfit look more polished.
