Hi again! So today I figured I would try and make up for a long regrettable absence from blogging by bringing you some of my favourite blazers from the high street! I've tried to include a variety so some are better suited for formal occasions but others are just perfect to complete a summery outfit.
# 1 - This is clearly one of those blazers which are great for a workplace environment or any other formal occasion really. Perhaps surprisingly for many of you it's from George at Asda which is one of my go-to places for a cheap outfit for every occasion (almost!). It's priced at £20 on their website and is described as being "textured" - I'm assuming that the pockets, however, are fake as so many are these days! The colours in this are so light and gives a really summery, breezy look to it but the shortness and tailored nature gives such a sophisticated edge. Hopefully this kind of blazer should make you feel both comfortable and stylish for any formal occasion, even if just for a nice dinner with friends!
# 2 - Slightly more expensive than the last is this beauty from Monsoon! At £49 it is a bit of an investment but given the smooth finished lines on this piece coupled with a lovely shade of navy, this blazer suits pretty much every occasion! A slightly more casual feel is given to this blazer through the rolled up sleeves and and open front. A satin lining inside the blazer is not only sure to keep you cool on a hot summers day (if we ever get any of those in the UK!) but will ensure that this is a piece that will last for a while!
# 3 - I love the mint green colour of this blazer as I think it would give any outfit a fresh, summery look. It's from New Look and is only £19.99 as well as being available in blue and coral which are also perfect for a summers day. Again, the front on this is open giving it a casual feel but does contain pockets which is also a plus!
# 4 - This is another one from New Look but is more expensive than the last at £27.99. This one does have fake pockets and that great open front to give a casual yet stylish and sophisticated look. You can just picture this blazer being used to complete a simple jeans and tee look or on top of a mid-length dress for a great professional look around the office! It's also available in navy or pink.
# 5 - You can tell I was a big fan of New Look for this blog post because here's yet another choice from there! Here we have a bolder look than anything else I'm showing you today with a bright red waterfall blazer, perfect for any occasion and is sure to make any outfit stand out! It's priced at £24.99 and has a lightweight feel with a casual open front. This is perfect for any summers day, especially in any hot weather or any time when it's not cold or raining, really! There's plenty of other colours to choose from as well - it's available in black for when you might not want to grab all the attention as well as coral, pink and yellow.
# 6 - Since we started with a formal look by Asda, I figured we would finish with that too. This is a really simple navy blazer which is pretty formal but only priced at £20 which is a great bargain. It does have the fake pocket thing again and a slightly heavier material so for summer in the UK, it's pretty much spot on unfortunately. You may need an umbrella to complete the look though! A button to fasten the blazer at the front gives a really sophisticated look overall and has the potential to hide any lumps and bumps around the stomach area - perfect for me then!
And so that concludes some of my favourite blazers this season - let me know what you think. As usual, feel free to share some of the looks you've put together for this summer and I'll check them out.
Have you bought any of the blazers I've featured in this post! Let me know what you thought of them and any others you'd recommend!
