weighty blazer for early spring + fall

Most of the blazers I get are lighter or at least medium weight so they work year-round but this one by Anine Bing is not. It’s a slightly heavier material + has a tailored menswear-inspired, somewhat oversized fit = perfection for fall, travel, and early spring. The one pictured above is the black + cream version, and I scooped the black and white version here. I’m digging it thus far although I haven’t had a chance to really rock it since

Fall Must-Have #3: Double-Breasted Blazer

I love love love blazers….although not the biggest fan of double-breasted options because most styles are too tight around my mid-section. To keep them looking slick, opt for skinny or fitted bottoms! If you’re taking the plunge but also want to get some regular use out of it, I’d recommend a navy pinstripe (like pictured above) or a “save” version here!

Don’t get me wrong – I love fall for the foliage, layering opportunities, the cool autumn wind and, of course, football!!

Elbow Patches: Old School But Nouveau

I am NOT a DIY kinda chick (I barely have time to tie my shoelaces) but when I saw this, I got excited. Ok truth be told – I got excited but I saw something sparkly….but they’re cute nonetheless! Elbow patches are a terrific way to add depth and flavor to blazers and sweaters – and, frankly, a terrific way to make something old new again. Choose an older blazer and sweater and let’s get to work….this idea came from

Top Two Trends To Invest In: Double-Breasted Blazer

At Blueprint for Style, we’re less concerned about creating a style trend than being true to our own personal style whether that’s shabby chic, uptown haute, effortless chic, bohemian, classic, etc. A top trend that will work for just about 90% of ladies is the double-breasted blazer (FYI – this is a spring trend for men as well)!
