I’ve been styling clients for several decades and one thing I know for sure. A great blazer will change the way you feel. In my dressing room, I always talked about how the third piece completes your outfit. Specifically, the blazer has the power to do even more. Add a blazer to feel more confident, powerful and instantly look pulled together. Why else have men historically worn suits/blazers to work if not to look and feel more powerful and in command? These days, blazers have come a long way and are not the boring ill-fitting navy banker blazers of the past. Fashionistas prove that blazers can be worn with anything from mini dresses to shorts! Great outfits start with this one piece so read on…

Go For A Classic.
The Veronica Beard Miller Dickey Jacket here has been copied and imitated but there’s something about the original that is so good! It’s been a top-seller for years now and is still going strong for good reason! You can trust that the quality is 100%. This is a piece that will forever be in your rotation.
One of the most innovative feature of the VB Miller jacket is that the look can be changed up with the addition of a dickey. Choose a sweatshirt dickey insert for a great airport outfit, or add the cashmere cable knit for a pretty winter look, or a try a denim and leather insert for a edgier and unique addition to your classic blazer.

Honestly the only issue with the VB Miller jacket is that its so hard to decide between the navy and/or black! Ideally, both colors would be great to have 🙂
Wear it Unconventionally.
Instead of wearing your classic navy blazer with the matching navy trousers only, think out of the box. Wear your traditional navy blazer with a slip dress and sneakers. This looks younger and fresher too.
When deciding what to wear, think unconventionally! What I mean by that is try new combinations and wear your pieces in interesting non- traditional ways. To think and dress outside the box is freeing and expressive.
Here, Jenna Lyons is photographed wearing a pinstripe blazer, half-tucked blue shirt, and a sweater worn as a scarf. This is a more interesting way to wear your blazer. This sweater here from Quince is a great one to throw over your blazer that will act as a scarf and keep you warm but is not too bulky. Smile Jenna, we love you!
