Why the blazer is a trans-seasonal wardrobe hero

When it comes to wardrobe mileage, few garments can go the same distance as a blazer. Since shedding its natural two-piece companion (thus becoming an independent staple in its own right), it has become one of the most versatile pieces a woman can own. 


So much so that a blazer looks the part wherever you’re headed, whether it’s a wedding, a work meeting or a weekend brunch – from dawn til dusk, and from winter to spring. This trans-seasonal closet ally is a fail-safe sartorial friend when it comes to dressing for a shift in climate. It’s no surprise, then, that designers have once again turned their attention to this enduring button-up for spring. With comfort being the prevailing factor, they’ve loosened the blazer up somewhat, proffering relaxed cuts and lighter colorways that feel fresh and fun, rather than formal.
