Wardrobe Staples: Plaid Blazer for Fall

OUTFIT DETAILS: PLAID BLAZER | WHITE T-SHIRT | RAW HEM JEANS | LOAFERS | INITIAL NECKLACE (ONLY $15) | PLAID HEADBAND | MINI WOVEN BAG | BELT (ONLY $15)

A plaid blazer is synonymous with fall and a general wardrobe staple in my opinion. Each fall I bring out my many plaid blazers because they instantly make you look chic and are so easy to throw on.

What I love most about this wardrobe staple is that you can find a lot of great high street options. I own plaid blazers from Rag & Bone to Zara and have gotten endless compliments on both spectrums.

If you’re going to get a plaid blazer and don’t want to break the bank just look for great tailoring to elevate your look. A blazer could be $50, but look much pricier just with the proper tailoring.

What does that really mean? Make sure the blazer fits your shoulders well and underneath your armpits. If the stitching looks off or the blazer isn’t sitting right then that’s a no-go.

You can go for a classic fall look by styling your blazer with dark wash denim, leather loafers (these are the best Gucci dupes I’ve found), and a tissue-turtleneck.

For all of my fellow dress lovers, pair your plaid blazer with a printed midi dress, suede heeled booties, and a tonal leather belt over the blazer to help define your waist.
