This is an original quote from my Parisienne friend Melina who – TRUST me – knows what she’s talking about! We spotted great examples of the blazer-mania all over Paris but also elsewhere in the fashion landscape. HOW to wear it? Take inpiration from these stylish ladies:
Swedish newcomer model FRIDA GUSTAVSSON during London fashion week in an old-school tweed blazer spiced up with vintage denim shorts and overknee-socks. Very brit!

Rumi from fashiontoast pairs her double-breasted vintage blazer with a short slipdress and all-black-accessories like the Alexander Wang Diego bag.
Ashley Olsen wears her grey wool blazer with a thick oversized scarf, cut-off black skinnies and classic pumps.
Same blazer, different outfit! I love how she can pull of a look that consists of only classic pieces like a cardigan, geek glasses and jeans and still look incredibly cool and sexy. Ashley, you’re my style goddess!

GET THE LOOK:
1. Wear a classic cardigan in bottle green with nothing underneath. I found this one at Topshop for £ 38.
2. Wear it with BASIC black skinny jeans like the Acne Kex Smooth and CUT THEM OFF right under your ankle! It’s the new thing. Slashed denim is sooo last season;-)!
3. Geek glasses in brown add a touch of “librarian”. These are the Ray Ban Wayfarers in Dark Havana.
4. Double-breasted blazer jacket from Miss Selfridge for £ 25. If you want to invest into a more special piece check the Vanessa Bruno Athé collection at La Garconne.
5. Finally a pair of classic pumps like the Louboutin Décoletté 100 jazz pumps will round this look.
So ditch your wool coats this fall: it’s all about the blazer! Got it;-)?

Agh, I’d love to be able to wear blazers, but at this time of year it’s much too cold in Helsinki. But faux fur does the trick too :)
Now I have to go stalk on pictures of MK & Ashley, you got me tempted! They are the most stylish people to walk this planet, I think!
I totally agree, the blazer is so the new jacket! I am going to wear a blazer with a cocktail dress to a black tie event this weekend!
Hah, I just bought my very first balzer in a creamy rosé at H&M Trend and I LOVE it.
Rumi looks great!
I love blazer, this is such an inspiring post =)
I totally agree on that quote but it so depends where you live, most of the times in Switzerland it’s waaay to cold to only wear a blazer (even with many layers underneath).. :(
