One of my favorite ways to make a classic black blazer feel more relaxed is to pair it with softer, lighter pieces. A beige cashmere crewneck, cream wide-leg jeans and cap-toe shoes give you the polish of a blazer without making the outfit feel too corporate or dressed up. And this is exactly why I think a black blazer earns its place in a fall wardrobe. Wear it with trousers, absolutely—but then try it with jeans, cashmere, tees and other everyday pieces you already own. Save this fall blazer outfit formula for the next time you’re staring at your closet, and send it to a friend who owns a black blazer but never knows what to do with it. Would you wear this for work, weekend—or both? LTKootd LTKOver40 LTKTall
