The jeans and blazer pairing is a classic mix and match. Not everyone feels this combination, but it’s an effective set when you want to look put together yet still casual. For the ladies, read until the end to find easy tips on how to elevate your jeans and blazer combo.

One quick way to give a fresh twist on this look is by wearing various tops with a very feminine cut or silhouettes inside the blazer. For example a low neckline body-hugging shirt, a bra top (in satin if possible), a tube top, or a bodysuit with cutout details. Sounds intriguing? It is. Yet, also very fashion-forward and chic.

Next tips, choose a printed blazer over the classic plain one. When you do this, make sure other items on your look are toned-down. As usually, a printed blazer has that instant ‘stealing attention’ effect when you wear it. Hence, you don’t want your look to feel loud or too busy by pairing it with other printed items. However, if you are trying to get everyone’s attention by wearing busy prints head to toe – it’s okay, too.

Last but not least, play with fabric or texture. By this, try wearing a velvet or tweed blazer instead of the usual plaid tailored blazer or jacket. Combining two or three different textures on your look will result in a very rich look. Rich as in details and also showing people that there is another style of blazers out there. Investing in these kinds of blazers will come in handy during festive times as they are the perfect party pieces.
