Sharyn GreensteinThe boyfriend blazer is a wardrobe staple for A-listers, influencers, and fashionable ladies in-the-know and deserves a place in your closet. Unstructured and oversized, boyfriend blazers are far less restrictive than traditional styles yet still designed to flatter your figure.
You can literally wear a boyfriend blazer with everything – even over a sweatsuit for zoom meetings. Roll up or cinch the sleeves (a discreet hairband works great), add a graphic tee and your favorite pair of denim and head out the door feeling comfortable yet edgy. Wear one in place of a fall jacket while out running errands or when you need an extra layer for an al fresco dinner to instantly add a cool vibe to your outfit. Fashion tip – keep your boyfriend blazers in your coat closet and I guarantee you will wear them more often!
