Spring is here! It’s (finally) time to store away your winter puffers in favor of a classic oversized blazer that is perfect for transitional temperatures that define spring. If you don’t already own an oversized, menswear-inspired blazer, here’s why you may want to consider investing in one.
An oversized blazer is a staple item in every wardrobe that allows you to effortlessly transition from casual brunch dates to classy evening soirées. They’re also perfect if, like me, you always get chilly in the office.
Wear it with a plain white shirt and loose-fit jeans
For a casual but elevated look, throw an oversized blazer over a plain white shirt and your favorite pair of loose fit jeans. Add a gold or brass plated accessory like the gorgeous Celine Triomphe bag or the Khaite Bambi belt.
Wear it over a black cocktail dress
Drape an oversized blazer over your favorite summer cocktail dresses for a fashion forward twist on a classic look. You can also wear it over a simple top and maxi skirt. This look is both fashionable and functional – giving you a refreshing, structured silhouette while keeping you warm in the evenings.
Wear it with shorts
For an easy spring and summer look, throw an oversized blazer over a simple t-shirt or crop top and shorts. If your oversized blazer is a solid, neutral color, you may want to go with a pair of printed statement shorts to add a pop of color.
Wear it with your favorite athleisure outfit

Looking for a casual outfit for running errands? Oversized blazers even look great with athleisure. Throw an oversized blazer over a tshirt and sweats, accessorize with a chic crossbody bag like the Loewe Mini Puzzle Bag, and you’ll be instantly chic.
With so much flexibility, you can’t go wrong investing in a high-quality “forever piece” when it comes to an oversized blazer. There are also several affordable options that will still elevate your wardrobe. You can even raid the men’s section of any vintage or thrift store. We love this recent post by @_yanyanchan in her father’s vintage Commes des Garcons blazer.
