MAKEVOVER TONS OF OUTFITS WITH THIS BLAZER
This double-breasted blazer is the best wardrobe investment I’ve made all year. It instantly creates a flattering silhouette and adds style to your 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 its 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 benchmark 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.
Veronica Beard
I have 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!
Veronica Beard Blazer Extended Sizes
The two best-selling styles also come in extended sizes. It’s hard to find the Miller in stock, but the Iconic Scuba Dickey Jacket is always available HERE.
L’agence
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. The classic navy comes with silver buttons and the soft back one with bronze. For the past two years, Nordstrom had offered a version of this blazer on their anniversary sale. They always sell out the first day.
More From L’agence
Under $300
Brands like JCrew and the Banana Republic do a good job of offering flattering styles under $300 and in petite and plus sizes.
DOUBLE-BREASTED BLAZER OUTFIT IDEAS
1. Bazer With Updated Jeans
Take your updated jeans to the next level. Make sure you have the right shoes to go with the look.
2. Monochromatic
There’s something so fresh and chic about a monochromatic base layer with a bold blazer.
3. Casual With a Sneaker
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 a thin sweater, classic crew neck, or graphic T-shirt. Keep the vibe casual with the right accessories; sporty sneakers, a guitar strap cross-body bag, sunnies, and a baseball cap.
Keep your kicks current
Wear a stylish belt bag over or under your blazer.
4. Denim on Denim
Denim on denim is so cool and easy to style. Choose any style of accessories to go with this simple combination.

With the holidays right around the corner, we are getting more opportunities to dress up. There are so many ways to style this blazer you could wear her to all your events!
