The versatility of blazers is well known by many. Most of us know that they can be easy to wear with jeans on the weekend and in more professional ways to work. I know I’d be lost without my favorite navy style. While basic navy blazers can be easy to figure out, novelty blazers can be a bit trickier. However, they don’t have to be. In today’s post, I am showing you how to create work to weekend novelty blazer outfits. Below, you’ll find three novelty jackets styled for the weekend and for work.
Work to Weekend Novelty Blazer Outfits
Work to weekend blazer #1
This first jacket from Elie Tahari is more versatile than it at first looks. It has just enough detail to be interesting but not so much that it is over the top. Being grey, it pairs well with black bottoms and dresses, which most women have plenty of. The jacket also doesn’t need a lot of accessorizing to look finished and it can upgrade the simplest of casual looks.
In the work outfit I styled the jacket with a black pencil skirt from Hugo Boss, a basic tank from Theory and accessorized the outfit with a grey bag from Matt & Nat, drop earrings from Kendra Scott and, for a splash of color, a green pair of pumps.
For casual, I swapped out the pencil skirt for these skinny jeans from J. Crew, added a pair of grey boots from Frye, a more casual gray bag from Hobo, and silver drop earrings.
Work to weekend blazer #2
Ivory is the perfect blazer color because it can basically go over anything you pair with it. I always find that my clients who have an ivory or white blazers grab them constantly to go with their work staples as well as their weekend pieces.
In the looks above, I styled the work look using this ivory blazer from Hugo boss with a gold silk front blouse from Reiss and fluid crepe pants in navy. I accessorized the outfit with a pair of tan pumps Sam Edelman, pendant from Michael Kors and blue satchel from Brahmin.
For the casual outfit I took the blazer in a totally different directions. I styled it with a sleeveless tunic from French Connection, pair of grey leggings, and finished the outfit with a comfortable pair of burgundy flats from Me Too, triangle drop earrings from Lord & Taylor and grey crossbody bag from Marc Jacobs.
Work to weekend blazer #3
This blazer from Banana Republic is a novelty basic, meaning it can act like a basic in your wardrobe but has a small ruffle detail give it a little something extra. It’s such a small amount which is why it can be worn in more of a basic way, hence the name novelty basic. Pieces like this in your wardrobe can add some excitement while being versatile.
I styled this blazer for work with a pair of plaid pants from Theory and, for a splash of color, a cobalt t-shirt from J. Crew. It is important to keep in mind that black and white prints and patterns can often be treated like solid black and you can wear color with them. Finishing the look, I accessorized with these black booties from Bella Vita, a red bag from Tory Burch and earrings from The Sak.
For the weekend, I envisioned a really simple blazer look with a pair of boyfriend jeans, like these from Lucky Brand. I used the same J. Crew tee, but in white, and accessorized softly using these tan booties from Vionic, bag from Louise et Cie and basic gold drop earrings.
If you are someone who loves wearing blazers, add some variety by buying some novelty blazers. You’ll be surprised to find they are just as versatile as your basic styles.
