I've mentioned before that I like wearing black. I'm not sure if I also mentioned I like dressing in a mixture of classic and trendy styles. Blazers = classic. So I like blazers. Black ones in particular. And a double breasted blazer doesn't hurt either. A single breasted blazer is fine too, and is probably more flattering on my petite frame. But I still would wear a double breasted blazer.

Summary: I like single breasted and double breasted blazers. And I wear both. Mostly in black.

You know what you could pair a blazer with? Lots of things. Not descriptive enough? Here goes:

So - you can pair blazers with pencil skirts (timeless), jeans or other trousers (classic), sport them over dresses (innovative), or wear them with A-line or full skirts (darling).

But really, a blazer paired with anything is timeless and classic; a blazer is a closet staple and is never gonna go out of style. To emphasize my last sentence, I created a short poem for you:

Wear them for work,
wear them for play,
wear them occasionally,
or wear them every day!

I get paid for that kind of stuff (writing poems). I'm that good.

Above: double breasted blazers. Below: single breasted blazers. Gawking (and purchasing) - commence!
