The Classic Black Blazer

I've loved blazers ever since my junior year of high school. I always had presentations and conferences to attend during that time, so a vest was a staple item in my closet.

Of course, that love lasted well into my years of undergrad/grad school. Fast forward to today, and I still have an unhealthy amount of blazers in my wardrobe.

Blazers are very versatile: you can basically use them to create any look you're going for (business casual, chic, and yes, even streetwear). One type that will never go out of of style is the classic black blazer.

I got the one I'm wearing at the Mango store in Soho. I was hesitant to purchase it at first, but the sales associates in the fitting room were hyping me up haha!

I paired the blazer with a dark t-shirt, and this beautiful pair of blue jeans. I hadn't worn them in probably 2 years, it was definitely time to bring them out.

The pandemic has made it harder to wear certain things because I'm usually in the house, but these days, I'm forcing myself to dress up more.

Side-note: remind me to talk about how the pandemic has also robbed us fashion girls of so many looks in another blogpost haha!

Ok, back to blazer talk. If you don't have one yet, this is a sign to go on the hunt! Besides Mango, Zara, ASOS, Madewell, and Everlane have some really good quality ones.

Thank you for reading!

Love,
