2020 has been hectic. A lot of us have either been on hiatus or working from home. Now that lockdown is finally easing up, many of us are returning back into the office. Getting into the swing of things again can be hard, especially if you’re starting a new job after graduating or switching careers. Whatever the reason though, that shouldn’t stop you from coming back to the office in style. So here are 20 blazers that will have you looking as fierce as you feel.
FOR THE BOLD
1. & Other Stories oversized double breasted blazer in emerald green
Price: £57
Shop the look: ASOS
& Other Stories is known for their quality. This blazer is well made, with a double-breast design and oversized fit; perfect for an 80s inspired look. Pair with these matching trousers for an easy fit.
2. Stefania Vaidani apella tweed button down blazer mini dress in fuschia
Price: £96
Shop the look: ASOS
This pink houndstooth blazer dress is the epitome of chic. I always recommend wearing dresses if you’re in a rush as it’s an instant outfit. All you have to do is accessorize. As seen in this picture, I would pair with a padded headband and cute shoulder bag to finish off the look.
3. Unique21 double breasted blazer in fuschia
Price: £33
Shop the look: ASOS
Legally Blonde is a classic and I’m pretty sure Elle Woods would have been rocking a blazer just like this when she’s in court. Channel her badass vibe with this blazer from Unique21.
4. Mustard cord blazer
Price: £110
Shop the look: Jigsaw
This shade of yellow, combined with the cord detailing is giving me 70s vibes. Pair with high waisted wide leg jeans to dress the blazer down. If you have a darker complexion, this blazer will POP on your skin – it’s one of the 20 blazers that are pretty much made for you.
5. Maison Scotch ornate snake printed blazer co-ord
Price: £120
Shop the look: ASOS
The print on this Maison Scotch blazer is phenomenal. With a silky finish, the detailing is sure to make you stand out! This would be great for a work party or if you’re going out for drinks.
6. Michael Kors double-breasted checked blazer
Price: £89
Shop the look: Net-a-Porter
The padded shoulders on this blazer and longline silhouette are really flattering. This bold check design can also be paired with the matching trousers for maximum impact. Accessorize with gold rings to finish off the look.
7. ASOS DESIGN longline boucle blazer
Price: £42
Shop the look: ASOS
I love the detail in this blazer! The boucle has hints of sage and fuchsia which can be picked up with accessories.
8. Jaden blazer
Price: £60
Shop the look: Weekday
This faux-leather blazer definitely has an edgy feel. Pair with high waisted black shorts (or a more modest fit) and strappy heels, for a smart-casual look.
9. Check tailored double breasted jacket
Price: £62
Shop the look: Karen Millen
Houndstooth is perfect for a sophisticated look. This print goes well with many colours but red is a stand-out option. Accent this piece with a bold red lip.
10. ASOS EDITION satin double breasted blazer
Price: £65
Shop the look: ASOS
If you’re feeling extra you could wear this to work but I’d recommend this for a work party. This would be great at the office Christmas do for an elegant outfit out.
PASTELS
11. Reclaimed vintage inspired blazer co-ord in floral print
Price: £26
Shop the look: ASOS
Out of all 20 blazers, this oversized fit gives me dad vibes but in the best possible way! With a print this bold it’s best to pair with neutral items. I’d pair it with a silky midi dress and kitten heels. Pick out the pink in this blazer with a pink or green padded headband for a playful look.
12. Tailored gingham blazer
Price: £135
Shop the look: & Other Stories
This blazer also comes with a matching gingham mini skirt. Or you can pair it with these peg-style trousers if you don’t feel like showing off your legs.
13. Victoria Beckham belted cotton-corduroy blazer
Price: £128
Shop the look: Net-a-Porter
Beckham calls this colour “lemon drop”, which I think perfectly encapsulates this pastel piece. The tie fastening relaxes this blazer, making it ideal for more casual looks. Pair with the matching trousers if you wanna feel like you run the place!
14. Veronica Beard double-breasted tweed blazer
Price: £243
Shop the look: Net-a-Porter
This is definitely an investment piece! I found this item after seeing Victoria Magrath, of Inthefrow, wearing it in one of her videos. Granny-chic is the ultimate vibe. Play up this look with pearl details or edge it up with chunky gold accessories, like this necklace from Orelia.
15. Topshop oversized blazer in lime green
Price: £59
Shop the look: ASOS
Who thought lime green could be so chic? Pair with chunky trainers for a modern look.
FOR KEEPING IT MINIMAL
16. Cropped wool hopsack waistcoat
Price: £59
Shop the look: ARKET
Blazers aren’t the only option for workwear. Waistcoats can work too. I’d wear this with a crisp oversized white shirt and knee high boots. Very Carrie Bradshaw!
17. COLLUSION tan cropped blazer
Price: £30
Shop the look: ASOS
This silhouette can be found all over the high street, dupes of the original Nanushka design. Pair this blazer with tortoiseshell to match the button detailing. I found these glasses from Tom Ford.
Tip: If you don’t wear glasses, you can purchase this pair without a prescription. That way you can wear them solely for fashion purposes.
18. Double-breasted structured blazer
Price: £80
Shop the look: Mango
You can’t go wrong with a simple black blazer. An essential workwear piece in any wardrobe.
19. Black organza sleeve blazer playsuit
Price: £40
Shop the look: isawitfirst
This blazer dress features sexy mesh arm detailings with gold buttons. One of our favourite 20 blazers, match with black pumps. This pair from Topshop add a mature touch (they’re also super comfy for the office) or opt for a pop of colour with these courts.
20. Sleeveless blazer dress
Price: £79
Shop the look: ARKET
This modest-cut blazer dress hits just at the knees. If you’re going from desk to dinner then this is a great option as it can be dressed up or down.
