A plain blazer has got to be one of the main staples in my wardrobe -
I'd say it probably is in most girl's wardrobe. It has the ability to
smarten up an outfit in an instant, even jeans look super smart with a
sharp blazer worn over it. Similarly it can take the edge of a dress
that's a bit too sweet: smarter than a bike jacket but more edgy than a
cardigan it will toughen up that pretty dress by lending a bit of
androgynous style.
I have got a few blazers that have been with me for years: tux style from Zara, double-breasted mauve from Topshop, boyfriend in charcoal, beige with black piping (very public school) from Mango to name a few.
For
this season I was looking for a pastel or candycolour blazer, especially since
my mauve one has seen better days. The designers have paraded them
around the catwalk and the highstreet has followed suit (ahem):
My favourite one is definitely the Topshop blazer in coral (sorry, Topshop: watermelon). I think it's just the right length and cut to be very versatile and in a colour that will go with lots of other items in my wardrobe. Spring is here!
