Trend to try: Longer Blazer
Seasons past have brought cropped, baby doll & 3/4 sleeve jackets. Finally, the classic is back! Think Miami Vice...but much cooler.
The longer blazer has to be cut correctly for it to work on your body. If you are long waisted, long legged or tall this is a definite must have item. Shorter gals beware it may cause you to shrink under it's length...so stick to pairing it worn open with skinny jeans & a tight tank or tee or skip this trend all together.
Designers have taken out the shoulders pads and extra darts...added classic lines & fine tailoring to create the modern longer blazer. A wool blend is best for year round wear & black is always a mainstay.
Fashion icon Gwyneth Paltrow seen in above photo paired her longer blazer with a girly frill dress. This look is not for the fashion conscience...but for the fashion forward.
Realway: Pair the longer blazer with a feminine dress such as Gwyneth or as seen here (at left) with fitted trousers and a simple tank. Don't go just basic...jazz it up with some major jewelry...statement necklace & cocktail ring.
Other options: skinny jeans & black patent pumps; grey sheath dress & knee boots; shimmery fitted mini dress & gladiator stilettos.
Remember: proportions & fit...the blazer should not hang but slightly hug your body, you don't want to appear as if you've raided your boyfriend's closet with this trend...save that for jeans! Own it...Your look!
