How To Wear A Blazer Dress Casually
First thing’s first, lets keep things casual. You might think a blazer dress should only be saved for when you need to be looking smart and “ready for business,” but on the contrary, it’s one of the easiest dresses to throw on-and-go for whatever your plans are. And the best part is, you’ll look totally together whilst barely lifting a finger. Win-win.
To style your blazer dress casually, go for a blazer dress in a neutral colour like stone or beige, and pair with some low-top trainers to stay comfy.
How To Wear A Blazer Dress To The Office
So whether you’re a girl boss looking for the perfect fit for your next boardroom presentation, or you need something to impress at a job interview, a black blazer dress could be just the ticket. Smart, classy and super timeless, it’s a great piece to add to your staple wardrobe and crack out again and again in years to come.
To style for the office, we recommend pairing with some opaque black tights and some black loafers or mary janes, for a smart, preppy look. Keep your jewellery minimal and slick your hair back into a high ponytail or a sleek bun, for extra confidence. Now all that’s left to do is practice your winning handshake.
How To Wear A Blazer Dress To An Occassion
Got a family party or a sunday lunch in the diary? The versatile blazer dress works for almost any occasion. Since you’re not heading to the office, you have free reign on the dresscode. With that in mind, why not go for a bright pop of colour, like pink or green?
We love a Barbie-pink blazer dress. It’s fun, flirty yet still tasteful. Style with some invisible tights and some cute ballet flats. If it’s a little chilly, you can layer over a trenchcoat for a super chic look. Add some silver accessories and you’re good to go.
How To Wear A Blazer Dress To A Party
Need something a little fancier for a night out on the town? Try a glittery blazer dress to take your suit to the next level. This is a great way to add a little sparkle to your outfit, but without showing too much skin.
We love a silver sequin blazer paired with some strappy silver heels. Accessorise with matching jewellery and a clutch bag.
How To Wear A Blazer Dress In Winter
If the temperatures are dropping and you still want to wear your blazer dress, the good news is, you can! Go for a black or deep shade blazer to complement the seasonal colour palette. We love a forest green or deep burgundy blazer dress. For accessories, pop on some fleecy nude tights and step into some chunky boots, to keep your lower half nice and toasty. If it’s extra chilly outside, you could also layer a long-sleeve t-shirt underneath your blazer dress.
Top tip: If you want to keep your legs warm but hate the nude tights look, try layering over a pair of sheer black tights on top, and you’ll create the illusion of low-dernier legs. Your secret is safe with us!
How To Wear A Blazer Dress In Summer
Looking for a smart-cas option in the summer time? Enter the white blazer dress. It’s light, breezy, and oh-so cute. Perfect for an al fresco lunch or a sightseeing day on your next summer city break, this is a real winner.
To style, keep things casual with some chunky white trainers – or, if you’re dressing up, why not go for some strappy white or nude heels. Pair with a matching bag and a chic long coat. Simply stunning.
