THIS BLAZER, THAT BLAZER

Bold prints have risen once again to surface in today's fashion 2012, and the motto that designers are seemingly eager to follow is that bolder is better!  This is true for all garments today, but more specifically for the blazer

Blazers have never gone out of style as you may have noticed in the office or while out and about, but now they have been distinctly tweeked and can now be found to be fantastically tailored.  On the contrary, you have the big double-breasted blazer, which appears to be oversized, and is currently rocking the runways for 2012. 

Besides the double-breasted blazer which some of you may find difficult to pull off, there is of course the slim silhouette blazer which is undeniably a modern classic, similar to the look the men wear in the hit tv show Mad Men.    Sleek!  Women can style their single-breasted jacket with a draped blouse and slim pants and look extremely current and fashion forward.  Fabulous!  The tailored pieces take on a almost mind-boggling different feel when paired with statement making bold shoes. 

Depending on where you're reading from, hot climate or cold climate, the blazer can be worn with layers as you can see in the image to the right.  In order to pull off this look, you have to be able to understand fearless layering and combinations.  You can mix and match work clothes with weekend wear as long as the fit is right, the pieces are well-made, and your confidence is in tact.  

No matter what you wear, a confident stride is key and crucial, and by doing so you ultimately wear the blazer, the blazer does not wear you.  Put your best foot forward 2012!
