This double breasted blazer is the best wardrobe investment I’ve made all year. It instantly creates a flattering silhouette and adds style to you look. From jeans and a T-shirt to a cocktail dress, a blazer never fails to pull a look together for the better.
FIT FIRST
The fit is key to it’s versatility and ability to makeover any outfit. For the most flattering fit, look for one that sits at or slightly over your shoulders, tacks at your ribcage, and gently nips at your waist.
A quality blazer is more expensive, but worth the extra money.
The fabric makes a big difference in the fit.
Details like smooth seams and quality buttons really show in person.
Quality made pieces last longer too. Invest in one and after a short time you will see your cost per wear will justify the higher price tag.
This Balmain is the bench mark for all the things a blazer should be.
BEST DOUBLE BREASTED BLAZERS FOR YOUR BUCK
If $2,295 for a Balmain blazer isn’t in your budget, here are my favorites for you.
I just go this one from Veronica Beard in black. It never goes on sale, but if you sign up for their emails you can get over $100 off!
Express did a great job of mimicking the Balmain shape. The quality of the fabric, construction, and hardware are not as good, but are less noticeable in this black on black version.
The L’agence Kenzie blazer is a little lighter weight than the Veronica Beard style. This is a great option if you run warm. It also has a softer shoulder if you are broad.
Banana Republic makes this mainstream version in regular, petite, and tall sizes.

DOUBLE BREASTED BLAZER COOL & CASUAL
Don’t be afraid to wear your blazer super casual.
Wear her over any kind of legging. This season I’m rotating between a knit pair, leather, and my classic live in leggings.
For casual tops try an thin sweater, classic crew neck, or graphic T-shirt.
Keeps the vibe casual with the right accessories; sporty sneakers, a guitar strap cross body bag, sunnies, and a baseball cap.
