Styling with Jing | Oversized Blazers for Spring
Blazers have stood the test of time since their initial Vogue debut in June of 1893. From a structured, double breasted silhouette worn amongst professionals emulating masculinity, to a more relaxed hem seen on campuses and at sporting events, the blazer has transformed into one of the most versatile pieces in fashion today. Bold colors and prints, blazer dresses, and even the classic double-breasted fit are as prominent on runways and streetwear as they were so many years ago. Our current blazer obsession? Oversized.
Keep reading to unlock exclusive styling tips from our Fashion Director, Jing Leng, and how to style oversized blazers this Spring ‘21 season.
FENDI DOUBLE BREASTED BLAZER
Keeping it classic with a favorite from Fendi is this Oversized Flannel Double Breasted Blazer. There are two key components when it comes to styling any blazer. Material & structure. This blazer is 100% wool, with a viscose lining. While wool is typically considered a cold weather fabric, the lining and oversized fit work together to make this piece feel lightweight and wearable, even in your spring wardrobe.
PROENZA SCHOULER DOUBLE BREASTED BLAZER
Next up is a testament to perfect structure if we’ve ever seen one. This Proenza Schouler Split Collar Jacket is another classic double-breasted blazer, this time with padded shoulders and sharp peak lapels. Keeping in mind our key components being material & structure, this blazer has it all. A viscose and silk combination tailored beautifully in an oversized fit feels relaxed & loose, while the padded shoulders and lapels offer a masculine, bold style. Styling this piece can be as simple as going bare in your blazer, or over joggers to elevate your athleisure. This look, “One of the Boys” embraces the strong shoulder and is accented by a pair of Sneakers and an earthy color palette.
THE ROW SINGLE BREASTED BLAZER
In the spirit of both evolution and springtime, let’s move on to some garments that shy away from the basic principle of the blazer. In terms of structure, let’s talk about pieces that lack any structure at all. First up we have The Row Oversized Blazer; this single-breasted blazer has two buttons & is made up of viscose & silk. Sounds like a dream, doesn’t it? This piece drapes graciously over your shoulders and allows for free and effortless movement. It feels as good as it looks, maybe even better. Paired with a floral patterned blouse and matching statement boot, we reach the peak of femininity with this ensemble.
THE ROW OBINE OVERSIZED BLAZER
The Row is the gift that keeps on giving when it comes to gorgeous blazers. The Obine Oversized Blazer, part of the SS21 collection, is a black crepe material with slightly longer sleeves & lightly padded shoulders. Satin lining, a back vent, and one button-design allow for seamless layering. Jing pairs this laidback piece with biker shorts for a “no show” kind of look. Bold color contrast and accessories complete the ensemble.
