The tweed blazer radiates professionalism and style. This classic workplace staple can be found in conservative beiges and browns, but also in daring pinks and blues.
For women wanting seeking a simple, classic look, beige tweed blazers with matching skirts or trousers are the way to go. If your goal is to turn a few heads, mix the elegance of a tweed blazer with a vibrant pink. Try unique cuts for an extra edge; three-quarter length fringed sleeves and hem create a fun, hip look. Colorful linings, festive ribbon trims, and jeweled button closures add extra style accents.
For the more stylized tweed blazer, try juxtaposing the officiousness of the blazer with a casual skirt or pair of blue jeans. Don sheer silk camisole underneath, throw on some substantial jewelry and a pair of stilettos and you're ready to paint the town red.
Men's tweed blazers are also a wardrobe must. Usually worn in less formal work environments, the tweed blazer connotes a sense of camaraderie but also a great sense of style. For formal settings, wear it with khakis, but for informal events, match it with corduroys or even jeans. For a more stylized and nostalgic look, choose a blazer with leather elbow patches.
No professional should be without several wool blazers. For men and women alike, this is the standard workplace attire. Traditionally styled in blue, black or gray, your wool blazer should be paired with a matching skirt or pair of trousers in formal settings, or with stone or olive khakis for slightly more informal environments. For a more individualized look, opt for gold or leather criss-cross buttons instead of black or blue ones, and choose more fitted cuts. Button down shirts are the classic choice for men and women who wear wool blazers in the workplace, but women can alternatively choose to wear a silk, cashmere or micro fiber shell.
Men can wear a dark T-shirt in the same tone as the blazer, or a buttoned-up polo shirt for a casual office setting.
For the height of luxuriousness, choose the cashmere blazer. This sleek blazer exudes opulence as well as comfort, and can be worn just like its woolen counterpart with a button down shirt underneath. Popular colors include, black, navy and camel. The first two work best in the workplace environs and the latter is ideal for business lunches or excursions with friends. The slight sheen makes the cashmere blazer perfect for office parties or formal celebrations. Men should try longer lengths with wide lapels, and women look great in the shorter, fitted cuts.
