Walking on the fine line between coats and jackets, Blazers have become the focal point of all the fall fits on the internet lately. Not only are they versatile, but there is a great variety of them available, differentiated by hem, shoulders, lapel, buttons, and fabric, and they can be styled in a number of ways, paired with skirts, pants, jeans, or even dresses. So, if you also parted ways with blazers after your high school days, then hopefully this list of types of blazers will inspire you to rekindle with the apparel and add it to your fall wardrobe to take it around town with your overpriced pumpkin lattes.
8 Types Of Blazers To Have In Your Wardrobe For Every Occasion
Fitted Blazer
Waterfall Blazers
Waterfall blazers have welt-flat pockets with a broad-falling flab design in the front. They are longer, and the silhouette gives you an elongated look. They work on a number of occasions, like work, brunches, and day events, and are fairly easy to style. This one, again from Forever New, is made out of faux leather with silver-toned zips and will work beautifully in winter because of the material. One can style it with regular jeans to compliment its vegan leather structure.
Cropped Blazers
Preferring cropped clothing seems to be a Gen Z thing, and as the generation partakes in the all-engulfing world of trends, the cropped blazers were bound to be the trend. The characteristic of this kind is pretty self-explanatory and works well for a number of places (work, brunch, dates, events), as well as aesthetics (minimal-chic to dark academia). This one from Not So Pink comes with a notched lapel, a V-neck line, and a button fly. You can style it with pants if you want a monochromatic look, but it will also look great with shorts or skirts.
V-Neck Blazer
V-neck blazers are perfect for someone who is trying to be professional without giving up their graphic tees and Converse. So, all the start-up founders or cool bosses should definitely give this type a try. This one from Pomelo not only has a V-neck but is cropped too, making it extra edgy, and really comes in fun colours. This too has a notched lapel and can be styled with shorts, pants, skirts, or even over dresses with casual sneakers.
Single Breasted Blazer
Among the first purchases of MBA folks, single-breasted blazers are defined by there row of buttons and length. Mostly having one to three buttons, this type is connoted as informal among the blazer critics. You can get plenty of inspiration from Madeleine White (we're obsessed with her styling videos), who really loves blazers. You can wear this on your coffee runs or for an off-duty model look. This one from Styli has two buttons and is made out of polyester., you can complete the look by styling it with a plaid skirt and a pair of chunky boots.
Double Breasted Blazer
As the more formal counterpart of the single-breasted blazer, the double-breasted blazer features a wider overlapping of shoulders and lapels, with a two-set sequence of buttons, one of which is primarily for the design purpose. This type gives the ultimate old-school feel, reminding us of every Shahrukh movie where he is dressed in formals. This one from Shop Staple has a checkered pattern and is oversized with a notched lapel. One can pair it with similar-patterned skirts, long sleeves, and chunky loafers to really make it contemporary.
Longline Blazer
If you are specifically a blazer and a pair of shorts kind of person, that longline blazer might be the right choice for you. They have a causal appeal, with a back vent for smoother movements and big-size pockets. We'll also recommend this one for all curvy ladies out there, as it elongates the body and allows your curves to shine through. This one, again from Styli, gives a fitted look with rolled-up sleeves and comes in three other pastel colours.
Oversized Blazer
Anything oversized is superior; you cannot change our minds, and when it comes to oversized blazers, it truly appears as comfort and sophistication in the state of ultimate symphony. Oversized blazers are always a huge hit and can be rocked while running everyday errands, to your corporate parties, to brunches and kitties with your besties, or on the days when you want to be productive and turn to your clothes to give you that motivation while being excessively comfortable. This one, Qua, has two front flap pockets with luxe fabrication and a comfort-driven design. You can style it with loose pants, fitted bottoms, skirts, or shorts, and even style it up with some gold or silver accessories.
