The Blazer Moves from Stuffy to Stylish
By Bonny Osterhage
One of our favorite trends this season is the resurrection of the blazer. No longer associated with prep school snobs, the blazer has relaxed and quit taking itself so seriously. From the slouchy boyfriend variety to a more traditional fitted cut, we love these eco friendly styles for their ease, versatility and wonderful layering capabilities.
Alexis Lamontagna Snob Blazer
Well, okay, maybe some styles are still a little snooty. But when a blazer has gained the affections of Emily Deschanel, we figure it has earned bragging rights. This fitted, feminine, organic cotton blazer is one style that has it all. $210 at www.greenwithglamour.com.
Angel Rox Denim Blazer
We dig how this denim blazer incorporates a touch of the military trend, with its epaulets, high button front and pocket detailing. The adjustable waist is designed for a snug fit. $218 at www.nimli.com.

Earth Creations Chloe Jacket
We realize that this hemp blend blazer looks all buttoned up, but it is far from stuffy. In fact, it has a relaxed fit, interesting stitching and sleeve details that allow it go from work to play with ease. $97 at www.birchclothing.com.

Feral Childe Blazer
The corduroy blazer isn’t just for professors anymore. This elegantly tailored version is fitted and fun, with a printed lining and snazzy hand casted buttons. Perfect over a dress or skirt. $270 at www.beklina.com.
Leyendecker Boyfriend Blazer
The epitome of the boyfriend trend, a loose fitting slouchy blazer that looks like you borrowed it straight from his closet. Made from organic merino wool, this is one you will snuggle up in again and again. $325 at www.bergdorfgoodman.com.
Naturevsfuture Zig Zag Jacket
This blazer gives off a futuristic vibe with its cool asymmetrical design. Made from a hemp and organic cotton canvas, this unique style is fitted, flattering and very urban chic. $278 at www.naturevsfuture.myshopify.com.
Nau Transporter Blazer
If you’ve ever wondered what happened to your old prom dress, it might be in the lining of this merino wool blazer. Designed to keep you toasty, the exterior of this blazer is tightly ribbed corduroy while the inside features recycled polyester taffeta. We like the knuckle covering sleeves. $350 at www.nau.com.

Re Collection Lapel Long Sleeve Cardigan
Here’s an interesting twist on the blazer — it’s actually a sweater in disguise. The recycled canvas lapels give the look of a blazer to a cozy recycled acrylic and wool cardigan. Comes in black with pinstripe lapels or ivory with black lapels. Two trends in one! $273 at www.shopbop.com.
Stella McCartney Men’s Fit Jacket
The trend really doesn’t get much better than this vegan three-button wool blend jacket from Stella. The loose drape tapers to a fitted ribbed hem. We love how the model is rocking it with a leopard tee shirt and skinny jeans. So hot! $1,965 at www.neimanmarcus.com.
Urban Renewal Vintage Tweed Blazer
There is something so “dirty secretary” about this vintage blazer. Maybe, it’s the lady like silhouette. Or maybe, it’s the way the model’s lacy camisole is peeking out from underneath. Whatever it is, we know what it isn’t — boring! Especially when you consider that no two are alike. $48 at www.urbanoutfitters.com.
