Blazers Hot for Summer & Fall

The blazer is experiencing a recent comeback, as it tends to do every couple of years. This is good news for the Bay Area, since layers are always the name of the fashion game here. The latest trend in blazers can be worn in many different styles, textures, and shapes, making it one of the most versatile and wearable items. 

While there are many blazers to be chosen from, the style currently getting the most buzz is the "boyfriend" blazer. It goes hand-in-hand with all of the ambiguous styles floating around lately, including the "boyfriend" jeans and the wispy oversized t-shirts often seen paired with them.

The characteristics of this particular style of blazer include a boxy,oversized shape and rolled or cuffed sleeves. However, the boyfriend blazer is incredibly wearable and updates most basics you already have in your closet into looks that evoke a casual, effortless cool. Be it a t-shirt or a cocktail dress, the boyfriend blazer will seal the deal.
