The blazer is a wardrobe essential. Whether we’re at school or in the office, this jacket accompanies us on a daily basis, giving us a confident air without overdoing it. But as with all basics, the blazer often needs a bit of fashion flair to make an impact. And top model Kaia Gerber often inspires us on how to make it our own. With stripes or checks, or in leather or velvet, the model helps us to understand that the blazer can be reinvented in so many ways to better suit the wearer’s desires.
1. Oversized
There’s nothing nicer than a loose blazer you can get so lost in, especially if it looks one that looks like you’ve stolen from your grandfather. For this effortless look, choose a simple blazer a few sizes larger than your own, or even one from the men’s section.
2. Leather
Like Kaia Gerber, we draw on the influences of past decades to add character to our silhouette. For this, there’s nothing like a leather blazer with 1990s accents and casual charm.
3. With shoulder pads
XXL shoulder pads, a defined waist and a self-ᴀssured fashion aura: no doubt, it’s the 80s that’s inspiring us here!
4. Velvet
An autumn favourite, velvet brings that extra touch of soul to a piece that might otherwise be considered classic. Like Kaia Gerber, we’re opting for a warm colour palette ranging from chocolate to powdery hues.
5. Pinstripes
This quintessential timeless style is becoming a fixture in women’s wardrobes. The pinstripe blazer adapts to every mood and style (Kaia Gerber likes to go for a streetwear version, for example), without losing an ounce of elegance.
