FASHION WATCH : Blazers

One of the staple in every fashionista's wardrobe this spring/summer is the blazer. Be it the boyfriend blazer or cropped blazer, or printed blazer, they are 'in'.

How to wear them on a casual day out without looking too primp or formal? Here's some ideas and tips gathered from some of the hottest celebs at the moment.

1. Pair it with a slightly oversized T-shirt, with loud prints. If you want to make a statement and wear your favourite band but with elegance, a blazer is the answer.


You can never go wrong with Kate Moss. Prison-ringlets with sharp black blazer. Timeless.
Black blazer could be a bit too predictable so opt for a nude coloured one, ála Alexa Chung here. A cropped blazer with an oversized T-shirt is my personal favourite as it cuts your proportion in the middle, giving an illusion of a longer torso.

Pairing a blazer with a white shirt gives that effortless chic vibe, but experiment with colours to create an interesting twist; like this pastel-coloured-striped T-shirt. More stripe.

2. Wear it with a summer dress, skinny/tight-fitted jeans underneath and complete the outift with a pair of cute wedges or flats to achieve that summery look.


I love how Alexa seems to always look like she just threw on whatever it is that she managed to grab before going out of the house but end up looking so flawlessly fashionable without overdoing the look. My favourite fashion icon at the moment ;) She's also wearing stripes.

More stripes. I think that old adage that nobody can look good in horizontal stripes can be thrown out of the window by now, if you pair them off with the right item. So, blazer trend simplified; whether you decide to go casual with a T-shirt or to turn up the flirty meter up a bit with a dress underneath, take your own pick.
