How to choose a flattering blazer for women

Every woman young or mature should have a couple of blazers. They are versatile and can change any outfits. You can wear them at work, out with friends, and even at school. They are also good because they are not as heavy as sweater and yet they do the job of protecting from cold chills. 

You don't have to spend a lot of money these days to find the perfect blazer. Let me show you two that I enjoy wearing for any occasions.

#1. THE WHITE BLAZER: wear with black pants for a party or happy hours on Friday, or wear with a dress at a wedding or work. I wore this one with a 1950s inspired dress for the office. I matched it with chunky jewelry and I was all set.

#2. THE CASUAL BLAZER: The casual blazer is also a jacket that you can use for cold nights or cold offices. You can pair it with sweat pants and sneakers or with a cute dress. This particular jacket is from On and On by Silvia Di Grazia, an emerging Italian designer based in Milan, Italy. She is actually from my hometown Lucca and has quickly become a new icon in the world on contemporary fashion that is also comfortable.

 #3. THE BOYFRIEND BLAZER: a bigger feel and fit than other blazers, the boyfriend jacket works well paired with heavy sweaters in the winter or to elongate the body of heavier women. Pair it with skinny pants, a dress, or a pencil skirt and you are set to be a trendy office girl. I choose a satin like fabric and a pink color to stay girly enough.

TIPS: Make sure you don't pick a blazer too small on your shoulder and back. You need to leave some room. Many blazers are really small on your arms and even short. Go bigger rather than small. 

TIPS: Depending on the fabric and cut of the blazer pick colors that do not add weight to your body. For example, the boyfriend blazer can risk to look too baggy if the fabric is too heavy. Go for light weight.
