It is always fun to have a piece of clothing that you love that can be worn several different ways. The blazer is such a versatile piece of clothing that I consider it to be a wardrobe staple. When I used to think of blazers, I thought "job interview" . I still love the look of a blazer with slacks, which really is perfect for an interview, but there are so many other, fun ways to wear this piece.I especially love blazers with skirts or shorts lately. If you have a simple black blazer, the options are endless. Using different accessories and different pops of color makes each outfit below completely different.
The different looks below all star the same item: A black blazer from topshop.
