Fashion Must Have Piece: The Boyfriend Blazer

Finding a piece of outerwear for a season like fall or spring can be quite difficult. You don’t want to be too hot, nor feel chilly, but feel comfortable with a touch of style. Aside from sweaters and cardigans, there is a more classic option that has became a big part of the latest fashion trends. The boyfriend blazer. Generally people would think that this clothing piece is strictly only for the office workplace, however it’s no longer true. Every gal needs a chic jacket in her closet, and the boyfriend blazer is a MUST have garment that can be put to multi use year around!

It can be worn from work to play, business meetings, dinner parties, date night out… the list is endless!

A structured blazer adds a major statement to your outfit, simply upgrading it from casual to classy and is a very practical piece to any outfit. Kate Moss started sporting the boyfriend blazer years ago, but today, nearly everybody can pull it off. The major question here is – how do you pull it off?

The great thing about the boyfriend blazer is that it can go with a wide variety of garments. Because the blazer is a slightly masculine piece, it should be mixed with ladylike pieces, such as a feminine top, or a floral blouse. Mixing it with bright, bold colors adds flair to the outfit. The blazer can also make a very basic, simple outfit consisting a pair of jeans and a v – neck tee very effortlessly stylish. The basic piece can also be paired with a little black dress, leggings, or a miniskirt.

Now look effortlessly chic and go grab yourself a boyfriend blazer to add to your wardrobe!

Doc Martens – back in style, say what?

Looking back to circa 90′s I asked for a pair of Dr Martens, because everyone owned a pair in Jr. High. For Christmas, I got my lucky original air wair pair in black, which I swear at the time was the best Christmas present I ever got. Ironically, I barely wore them and once attempted to put them up for sale on ebay considering the brand new condition they were in. They never sold.

Fast forward to circa 2010. The iconic 90′s Doc Marten boot are surprisingly crawling their way back into style and I couldn’t be happier that I never got rid of those $120.00 boots. I wear them nearly every day with a pair of skinny leg jeans, leggings, shorts, or even a dress. The hip boot brings out a mix of masculine and feminine to your wardrobe.

Pair the combat boots with a pair of skinny jeans and a loose floral tunic, or go with the rocker chic look and wear em’ with a band tee and a leather jacket. Be creative & original – they go with nearly everything and are incredibly comfortable for walking around in!

The fun part is they come in a wide array of colors, prints and styles. You can find them at the following sites:
