What Are We Wearing?

It is a rare occurrence in the fashion world, but this "trend" is here to stay. The oversized blazer look first donned by celeb fashionistas like Hailey Bieber has proven its lasting power through ongoing iterations from designers of all levels and versatile styling. I have selected options from all price points below and am sharing where to start and how to keep this piece going as a mainstay in your wardrobe.

Tier 1

Norma Kamali, Good American, and H&M have all been killing it lately. Bringing us well-designed pieces at approachable price points with a fit that is both current and flattering. If you are curious about the oversized look or unsure, these brands are a great place to start. Order a few options to try on, send back what doesn't work for you, and incorporate some classic complementary pieces that you already wear on repeat; this could be your favorite jeans, trousers, tee, bodysuit, or maxi dress. If the final look is comfortable and feels together, then you know you are onto something.

Tier 2

Anine Bing is my go-to for elevated basics and chic proportions. This brand offers modern women's sportswear with minimalist vibes; think Carolyn Bessette. Averaging about $500, this brand offers many tailored pieces made to look oversized but fit the female physique. Keep an Anine Bing oversized cashmere or wool blazer on hand during the cold winter months to pair with premium Ponte leggings over a sweater dress, denim, or a white tee with your favorite cargo for an effortlessly stylish ensemble.

Tier 3

For some clients, the product is all about the fine details, quality, drape, and fabrication. Some exceptionally beautiful examples of the oversized blazer include The Row, Saint Laurent, and Micheal Kors Collection, to name a few. These designer jackets can be styled the same way you'd style any other designer but with a few extras. The quality typically holds up for a lifetime, and then some as long as it is appropriately laundered and cared for. We usually see enhanced peak lapels, sharp tailoring, and strong shoulder pads and construction, adding to the proportion of the jacket and making for a fashion-forward look.
