The blazers is arguably the single most important piece in the modern woman’s wardrobe, and its power is rooted in a fascinating history that goes far beyond fashion. While the jacket originated in the mid-19th century among British sailors and rowers, it became a true emblem of empowerment when trailblazers like the Suffragettes and early Hollywood rebels adopted its masculine structure to defy restrictive norms.
This evolution culminated in the Power Suit of the 1980s, serving as stylish armor for women breaking into male-dominated boardrooms. Today, whether you choose a tailored classic or a relaxed oversized cut, the blazer remains your ultimate wardrobe chameleon, it instantly adds sophistication to jeans and sneakers, sharpens your look for the office, and provides a powerful, confidence-boosting silhouette for every occasion.

The Blazers Categories
My trio of hero blazer brands provides the perfect blend of timeless investment pieces and fun, unique designs, all promising gorgeous quality that will last for years. My first hero, Veronica Beard, which was started by two sisters-in-law, stands out for their innovative, New York-based tailoring. They are famous for their zip-out Dickey’s, which create a fantastic layered look, it looks like I’m wearing a separate vest or sweatshirt underneath but without any of the bulk!
For my two other key designer brands, I love the sharp, refined structure of L’Agence and the iconic, military-inspired blazers from Balmain. I consider both worthy of investment for their exquisite craftsmanship and signature details. Finally, my third resource is Cinq à Sept blazers, which is my absolute go-to brand for those fun novelty and unique pieces, and I especially love the hunch of finding all of these treasures on special sales.

The Double-Breasted Blazer is a defining piece for shedding its purely formal reputation to become the year’s ultimate style statement, centered on playing with structure and volume. The key trends include the oversized, boxy fit for a relaxed yet commanding presence, often worn in a longer, longline cut, and the popular styling trick of cinching it with a belt to create a modern hourglass shape.
Look for blazers in rich, tactile fabrics like buttery suede in warm brown tones, classic tweed, and elegant velvet for evening, while bolder colors like vibrant red or earthy olive green offer a contemporary update to the traditional black and navy, making this classic cut incredibly versatile for everything from a power meeting to a weekend outing over jeans and a tank.

Single Breasted Blazers

The Single-Breasted Blazer is a non-negotiable wardrobe staple, featured prominently for its timeless versatility and universally flattering design. Characterized by a single column of buttons, this style creates a clean, vertical line and a natural V-neck effect, which beautifully elongates the torso.
In 2025, we’re seeing this classic piece updated with a focus on relaxed, slightly oversized fits and bold use of textures and vibrant colors like emerald green and hot pink, making it perfect for pairing with anything from tailored trousers for the office to casual jeans for the weekend. I love adding a belt, like this one and this one, at the waist to change it up. Essentially, if you only own one blazer, make it a single-breasted one it’s the easiest and most accessible way to instantly add polish and structure to any outfit.

Oversized Men’s Look Blazers
The Oversized Men’s Look Blazer is the ultimate power move for 2025, perfectly merging the structured confidence of the double-breasted cut with a relaxed, borrowed-from-the-boys silhouette characterized by broad shoulders and a longline hem. This trend is all about intentional balance, requiring a high-low styling approach where the voluminous blazer is paired with sleek counterpoints, such as straight-leg jeans, faux leather leggings, or even biker shorts, using a tucked-in tank top or fitted knit underneath to define the torso.
For a chic twist, a key 2025 technique is to belt the blazer at the waist often with a chunky leather or metallic belt which instantly cinches the fabric and transforms the boxy volume into a flattering, hourglass shape, making this piece the definitive versatile statement for professional and street style.

Tweed Blazers
The tweed blazer remains an essential cornerstone of chic fashion for 2025, perfectly balancing classic sophistication with modern versatility. Forget the stuffy image of the past this season sees the texture reinvented in contemporary cuts, including updated collarless styles and slightly oversized silhouettes, often accented with rich leather trims, statement buttons, or fringe details.
Trending color palettes move beyond traditional neutrals to embrace warmer, earthy tones like coffee, mole, and forest green, as well as bold pops of color such as royal blue and pink, making them perfect for both office-ready tailoring and a casual-chic pairing with denim or a slip skirt. Tweed’s enduring warmth and rich texture ensure it is a timeless investment piece, effortlessly adding an element of polished luxury to any look.

Holiday Blazers
The shift to Holiday Blazers takes the concept of texture and print to a festive, maximalist level, focusing on fabrics and colors designed for celebratory gatherings like Christmas and New Year’s Eve. The essential materials for this category are luxurious and tactile, specifically velvet often in deep jewel tones like emerald green, rich burgundy, or classic midnight black and shimmering sequins in metallics (gold, silver, bronze) or festive hues.
Unlike daily wear, the goal of a holiday blazer is to make a statement, meaning styling often involves pairing the standout piece with simple underpinnings, such as layering a plush velvet blazer over a sleek silk blouse and tailored black pants, or a fully sequined jacket over dark wash jeans for a high-low balance. For men, this translates to bold dinner jackets in velvet or subtle festive patterns like tartan and updated plaid, ensuring the look is sophisticated, celebratory, and instantly party-ready.

Simultaneously, the popular prints include sophisticated classics like plaid, houndstooth, and updated pinstripes, lace, fringe, alongside bolder, expressive statements like leopard and other animal prints. Styling these blazers is all about balance, often pairing the pattern or texture with clean, neutral separates such as layering a bold plaid blazer over a simple white tee and straight-leg jeans to achieve a chic, confident look that effortlessly bridges the gap between formal and casual wear.
