Dressed-up: Womens Plus Size Blazers for Success

by Meredith Francesca T. Peralta

For the modern career woman, owning a blazer is a necessary thing because it’s one of the easiest look you can come up at a short time to be presentable and semi-formal in any occasion. Blazers started to be popular in UK and it spread worldwide. They usually come in two types, single-breasted and double-breasted styles. Later on, other types came out in women’s plus size blazers like the cropped blazer, bell sleeve blazer, boyfriend blazer, fitted blazer, military blazer, denim blazer, ruffle blazer and band collar blazer. Your typical blazer is matched with slacks and having a loosely fitted blouse underneath. This look is boring and un-feminine to some. To give your normal blazer ensemble a jumpstart, here are 5 fall blazin’ ideas to dress up your blazers:

Risky Business Plus Fun
Your blazer may spell fun but you still mean business. For your checkered and other patterned style blazers, wear it with a plain cream, white or beige dress underneath. Finish the look with a plain belt that matches the dominant color in your blazer. Make sure that it’s a solid color to tie in the entire look. Match your dress with your shoes to complete the outfit.

Girl Power at Work
Break up the black and white common mix. For your plain black blazers, add slimming black slacks then go for a very feminine undershirt or long sleeved blouse. It is preferable you use shades of pastel to soften this mannish look. Add high heeled pumps and girlish accessories to make this look definitely your own.

Midweek Milestones
Boost your midweek slumps by heading to work with this suit. For women’s plus size blazers like the cropped blazers, bell sleeve and ruffle blazers, they can be worn with a floral skirt and a solid color blouse with a simple design so as not to overpower the blazer’s stylish cut.

Casual Saturdays at the Office
Required to do some overtime at work on a Saturday? For boyfriend blazers, it is stylish to wear them with skinny jeans and a hugging top. If you have ones with shorter sleeves, a longer top is your best bet to make the look work for you. Even if you’re a plus size, this should not stop you from wearing skinny pants.

Girl’s Night Out After Work
For other blazers that have their own unique twists on cut and design like the military blazers, band collar blazers or even sequin blazers or those with tassels and other fabrics like animal print or crocodile skin, it is always safest to wear plain white tops and your regular jeans to accentuate the blazer and not come off looking like you’re trying too hard.

Each day at work can now be welcomed with glee and excitement because you can now find time to mix and match your blazers to make each office outfit memorable and fashion forward. Work has never been more fun now that women’s plus size blazers can be creatively styled with your dressy and feminine apparel.
