How to Wear a Blazer

 A blazer is a must need for anyone’s closest. Today women aren’t only wearing blazers with suits they are paring them with up with jeans, leggings, shorts, skirts…etc.

History

Blazer originated with the red 'blazers' of the Lady Margaret Boat Club (1825), the rowing club of St. John's College, Cambridge. The Lady Margaret club jackets were termed blazers because of the bright red cloth; the term survived the original red coat.

Early blazers were like later sports jackets, but this term has never referred to blazers, instead describing jackets derived from the later innovation of wearing odd jackets for land-based sports. Assertions that the name is derived from HMS Blazer are not borne out by contemporary sources

Striped blazers became popular among British Mods in the early 1960s to late 1970s  particularly in three color thick/thin stripe combinations, with three-button single breasted front, five or six inch side or center vents and sleeve-cuffs with multi-buttons.


There aren’t any rules on how to wear a blazer but here are some ideas on how to wear them. Try it out!  



This model is wearing a bright colored blazer with high wasited shorts. A birght colored blazer is perfect for this spring/summer! Also bright colors can be worn with almost anything! This is a very casual look that is good for a day on the town.


Kate Middleton is wearing a blazer over a dress. This seems to be very popular. Its easy to do and ot be done with any dress in any color. Its good for those chilly days when you need a jacket but don't know what type to bring. This look is good for the office when you need to look professional but you don't want to over do it. The blazer adds a nice touch.


This look is an easy one to do. All you need are some pants, jeans or bell bottoms like the girl in the picture, a t-shirt or tank and a colored blazer of your choice. This is a very relaxing look, but yet you want to look good at the same time.

All these looks take a colored blazer (or noncolored your choice) and pair them with everday outfits. This adds more style and variety to your wardrobe. Also you add long necklaces to spice them up!
