So I've been wearing my plain blazers like the good girl that I am and even
if we're talking pastel colours, they will stand the test of time and
give me a fantastic cost per wear ratio.
But what
about patterned blazers? I have a H&M blazer that sits in the back of my wardrobe and
rarely sees the light of day and this is mainly due that its pale blue
floral pattern doesn't go with much. At the same time it's a bit too
dull to stand out by itself.
I think the key is in getting a pattern that gives the blazer the
chance to be the statement piece. Sure, this season we will be mixing
and clashing our patterns but for the item to have real staying
power and for you to love it and dig it out again and again, it needs
to be special enough to look great next season, when we won't be so
clash-mad anymore.
There are some fantastic pieces out there, designer as well as high-street, and whereas my plain blazer top-choice was a Topshop beauty for just £40, the selection below will see me pick that beautiful tuxedo style, paisley print blazer from Etro.At £1,095 you'd want to get quite a few wears out of it!
