Back to the basics with Boyfriend Blazers

So let’s talk blazers, in particularly the boyfriend kind…...I just love the boyfriend blazer these days, it’s a slouchy, bit oversized jacket that will keep you warm on those cold spring nights when a coat is too much and a cardigan just won’t do the trick.
The trend of the blazer was always around but varied from year to year. I remember a couple of years back where it was a huge trend to wear a well fitted blazer with jeans and I will never forget where I got mine, from YDE, which was the best investment I made because I have that same blazer up till today. Back then even the guys were into it with their square toed shoes but enough about the good old days.
More recently the blazer made a huge comeback, where the fit was loose and more comfortable but at the same time was longer in length which is fantastic for those who wish to cover up.
The way I normally wear it is with a loose shirt, fitted jeans with either heels or flats but sometimes when I want a more casual or trendy take on it I would wear boyfriend jeans, fitted top, ankle boots and the blazer, in this way I am able to cover up while wearing a head scarf or turban.
I want to keep this short and sweet so here are a few pictures to give you some idea of the boyfriend blazers I love!
