Trail Blazers - Updating the blazers in your wardrobe

In an era where trends cycle in and out at an alarming rate, understanding personal style is the key to presenting a self-image that stands the test of time. Most trends simply don't apply to many of us, but we can always take what works for us and leave the rest behind.

This season, the Blazer is literally blazing trails - in all styles and fabrications for every aspect of your life - from oversized to very fitted. I highly recommend adding this timeless, classic piece to your wardrobe to elevate your game on every level. Choose a style you can wear with multiple combinations. This is an investment piece as it's likely you will keep jackets for several years, so buy the best quality you can afford.....especially in black or navy.

This oversized blazer gives a more casual vibe. PRO TIP: Be careful if you're petite!

Another favorite. This jacket offers so much versatility....it can be worn with nearly anything. I would love it with black leather-like leggings! Veronica Beard is also known for adding optional dickeys to her jackets which look like shirts - and it changes the look completely!

Perfectly gorgeous, classic and timeless, and updated in leather.

This was my choice for the season. The light weight crepe is appropriate for a warm climate and it can be worn multiple ways - dressed up or down. I love the ruched sleeves - a signature style of Cinq a Sept that adds a touch of casual elegance.
