One of the best new styles (that isn’t really new at all, but popular again) is the blazer trend. More and more, women are adding blazers that are oversized, cropped, bright, and patterned to their normal wardrobes to make everything look just a little more professional and put together.

But how can you do that without looking like you are dressing up in your dad’s clothes? Here are some fresh ways to incorporate a blazer.

Consider Adding A Pop of Color

When you have a bright blazer, whether it is in a stunning pink color or you go with a bright yellow blazer, you will be able to add a pop of color to your wardrobe while still looking professional.

Make sure to keep the rest of your wardrobe pretty understated if this is something that you want to do. Of course you want to be as fashionable as possible, but this is a good way to stand out in a good way.

Patterns Make It Possible

If you aren’t interested in solid blocks of color, consider getting a blazer with a pattern you feel comfortable wearing to the office. If you tend to wear a lot of basics, this will be the perfect way to update your wardrobe and bring it into the trendy side without going too crazy or making you feel too uncomfortable.

Don’t Be Afraid To Be Feminine

Using a unique fabric can help you to feel more comfortable in your blazer. For example, a lace blazer can make the style more comfortable to wear in terms of heat and in making you still feel like a woman.

There are many different things that you can do to be more feminine. You can choose more feminine patterns, fabrics, cuts, or whatever else makes you feel like a woman.

Go For The Crop

If you aren’t interested in the big, boxy look, you may want to go for a cropped blazer. These will still give you the professional lines, but you get to show off your shape as well.

Pair these blazers with pencil skirts, great trousers, and interesting jewelry.

If you are looking to make any outfit look more professional, one of the best things you can do is add a blazer to it.
