Basic black blazers have long exuded a business-savvy air as the appropriate wardrobe fixture for any workplace. Now, many fashionistas are rocking a colorful, fierce upgrade to the traditional look. 

 

Make your mark with a nifty statement blazer. Whether it is  exotic, bold or glittery, it is the right choice to seamlessly pulling an outfit from average to chic glam. Putting one on can easily resuscitate a look with bedazzling stripes, embellishments or even audacious animal prints. If that is too daring, choosing a novelty fabric is a more tamer option. 

 

A few things: choose a tailored, flattering cut, and make sure it compliments your style. After all, we do not want any style wars as the blazer must be an extension of your clothing expression.

 

In addition, avoid wearing competing pieces at once. Offset vivid, gilded or leather-studded blazers with a simple, toned-down shirt or bottom like a pair of low rise boyfriend jeans. Kohl‘s has a floral tuxedo blazer by LC Lauren Conrad for $34.99. It has a slim fit and subtle colors which made it look like a mosaic. Dress it up with a $40.50 pair of LC’s distressed boyfriend jeans.

 

This is a worthwhile investment. The edgy blazers breath new life into your office wardrobe and are even more functional as a night out style asset. Get frisky while being fashionable.
