Sleeveless Blazer



       Ever see an article of clothing that you think looks cool, but you have no clue how to wear it?  For many, the sleeveless blazer is one of those pieces.  If you're feeling a bit perplexed by this trend, let my creative eye and fashion expertise give you some ideas.  Don’t let it scare you- it’s actually quite easy to wear and it goes with anything that you would normally throw your favorite blazer over!
       I’m a sucker for a blazer so it was no surprise that a blazer without sleeves was sent by the fashion Gods to serve me. The sleeveless blazer is the deconstructed version of the boyfriend blazer so it’s a bit lengthy and perfect for serving as a Spring/Summer over coat.  Less formal than a suit jacket, but dressier than a cardigan, this topper will add a touch of polish and a cheerful warm-weather vibe to your wardrobe.  Femininity doesn’t have to mean frills and florals. This workwear-ready and cocktail time party-pleaser proves that a well-tailored, menswear-inspired piece will make you look and feel more confident than ever.

Ditch the standard black blazer when you're going out on the town and wear this sleeveless blazer over a sleek shell with leather or sequined shorts.  Or wear with black leather leggings and a white button down.  Accent either look with a pair of sky high heels and gold accessories.

This tailored piece lends professional cachet to a full skirted dress resulting in a feminine, but still office- appropriate outfit.  Belt it to narrow your waist and throw on a pair of nude heels to elongate your legs.  Then complete your look with a cobalt satchel that's roomy enough to stow all those day time essentials.

Wear your sleeveless blazer with colored skinny jeans and a black shell for a highly wearable version of the suiting trend.  Throw on some espadrille wedges and a metallic crossbody bag to complete your look.  This chic jacket ups the fashion cred of basic skinny jeans to create the ideal brunch ensemble.
