How To Style Oversized Blazers For Any Occasion

 

Questioning how do you style an oversized blazer? This is the PLT post for you!

From sizing dilemmas to must-have blazers that have hit new in recently, you won’t want to miss this.

 

Some of the most popular questions when it comes to styling an oversized blazer are as follows –

 

What size should I get if it’s oversized?

We answered your oversized sizing dilemmas in this post here.

Although this is personal preference, our advice was to size up by one or two sizes if the product is not already oversized, or by just one size if the product already has an oversized fit and you want it slightly bigger.

You can also use the model sizing onsite to figure out your desired fit/navigate how many sizes based on the model fit.

 

How do I style a large blazer?

If loving the oversized fit then you’ll love off-duty styling.

We’re thinking cargos or joggers to create a laidback look for your blazer OOTD.

How can I make my oversized blazer look good?

If wanting to emphasize the oversized fit of your blazer opt for fitted clothing underneath.

Think athleisure vibes with unitards, leggings and crops.

You could also team a trend into your look, we think the schoolcore or balletcore would be perfect!

Jeans or cargo pants are always an effortless option when it comes to styling blazers too.

What top do you wear under a blazer?

Crop tops or basic t-shirts are a go-to for under blazers.

Not only that but they are a must-have wardrobe staple.

Bodysuits or bralettes are also a good option if heading somewhere a little more dressy.

What colour blazer do you wear with jeans?

Whilst it completely up to you, we love lighter colourways of blazers such as beige, taupe and cream styled with light wash blue denim.

Then, grey/darker jeans with darker blazers such as black and navy.

That said, there are zero rules and we all know black blazers look good no matter what so, you do you!
