A good blazer makes you look as put-together as Emmanuelle Alt, even if you’re just wearing it with Converse and a T-shirt. It also makes for a great transitional-weather garment when you’ve forgotten what 50 degrees feels like. Plus, if you’re going back to an office, you would probably want to wear at least one a week, so why not make it fun?
What makes a good blazer?
Besides price point, our criteria for picking blazers is pretty simple. First things first: How does it fit? A good blazer should fit well whether it’s cinched or oversize. We’re also looking for versatility, especially if you’re going to splurge on something you’ll want to wear more than once.
To make your life easier, we’ve rounded up the best blazers you can wear through what’s left of winter and spring.
So, you need a new blazer?

Materials: Polyester, viscose | Sizes: 32 to 44 | Colors: 1
This light, faux-leather blazer is one of my go-to pieces because it’s so versatile. I wear it to the office with dress shirts and trousers and, during the weekend, with denim and heels to switch it up.
The Oversize Version
New! You can now save this product for later.
Materials: Polyester, elastane | Sizes: XXS to XXL | Colors: 1
An oversize blazer is the easiest and laziest way to finish off an outfit. The shoulder pads on this one from Gap really are the perfect add-on to elevate a simple look.
The Wool Option
New! You can now save this product for later.
Materials: Wool, polyester, elastane | Sizes: XS to XL | Colors: 3
While this blazer from Quince isn’t as oversize as I would like, I do love its textured look and feel. If you want a more oversize fit, I’d recommend sizing up for that menswear-inspired look.
If You Want an Hourglass Shape
New! You can now save this product for later.
Materials: Cotton | Sizes: XS/S to M/L | Colors: 1
Beauty editor Asia Milia Ware’s go-to is this hourglass blazer from the Frankie Shop. It has a cinched waist, shoulder pads, and flares just enough to accentuate the shape. Wear it buttoned or open and layered over a tank.
