A menswear-inspired blazer is a longstanding office-wardrobe staple, but we’ve seen it break free from the cubicle to more playful after-hours ensembles as of late. Canadian blogger Emily Luciano (who has over 200,000 Instagram followers and is known for her feminine, sophisticated style) likes to toss a blazer on over all her off-duty outfits for an easy, polished finish.
“It makes every look more interesting,” says the Lovely Luciano blogger, whose busy schedule means she needs a go-to outfit formula that’s elevated enough for taking meetings and visiting showrooms yet casual enough for a less formal lunch with friends. To dress down her favorite blazer from Armani Exchange, Luciano paired it with gray, black, and white neutrals like a simple button-down blouse, cropped skinny jeans, and of-the-moment crisp white sneakers.
