The Patterned Blazer | Style Guide • Influenced By Dee

For the love of blazers!

I own more blazers than I can count, they’re truly a staple in any closet. I have business blazers, leather blazers, tweeted blazers, colorful blazers, oversized blazers, and of course patterned blazers. I’m obsessed with them! The best thing about blazers is how versatile they are.

Recently I’ve really been into plaid and houndstooth patterned blazers. They add a nice spunk to any outfit. I can wear them to work with matching or black pantsuits or I can wear them with my favorite jeans or leather skirt. The options are limitless.

I’ve also been wearing a lot of neutrals lately. I think it’s a seasonal thing, the fall/winter makes me moody. I’m sure I’ll be back to bright colors in the spring and summer months. The best part about this outfit is how versatile the pieces are. I can wear everything (except the skirt) to work. But since this was supposed to be a weekend outing kind of outfit (think brunch!) I wanted to spice it up with a chocolate leather skirt. The boots with a square point toe and fun shaped heel add a nice touch.

Below is a mood board for inspiration in case a mini chocolate skirt isn’t your style. As you can see, you can dress it up with some leather pants and heels, or keep it casual with a hoodie underneath. Your options are limitless.
