5 Days, 5 Ways: The Statement Blazer
A jacket worth checking out
By Gabi Meyers | Last Updated: Apr 30 2017
“Better weather” and “active social calendar” are practically synonyms, amirite? They happen seemingly simultaneously in the spring time, and both present great opportunity and even better outfit choices than the extreme weather conditions of winter. So, what is the most impactful way to upgrade your existing spring wardrobe? Add a statement blazer. Formal enough to incorporate into last year’s wedding outfit, fun enough to throw over anything for an instant dose of irreverence, a statement blazer is a worthwhile investment to add to your spring shopping list.
