Innovative ways the street style set are wearing blazers in 2018

For a minute, we really thought it might never come.

But it’s here! Blazer weather is officially HERE.

The answer to many a dressing dilemma, a sharp cut blazer can transform last season’s ditsy floral dress into FROW-worthy attire, while a sleek tuxedo style can take you from no-vibe to Nobu-vibes faster than you can say fairy godmother.

As the weather gauge slips over the 20 degree mark – and we ditch the cumbersome coats and suffocating scarves – our focus turns to which jacket styles and shapes are set to be ‘the thing’ for spring.

Read on for some cues from the street style set on how to give your trusty blazer a 2018 spin.

Belted

This is the perfect way to give your look an up-to-the-minute feel without having to spend so much as a penny. Make it a belt bag for extra style points.

Oversized

This one takes a bit of confidence, but step out wearing an oversized jacket as a dress for the first time and you'll feel hella fabulous.

Loud

Be bold with stripes, pattern and abstract print, and bolder still with matching trousers. Fortune favours the jazzy.
