Boyfriend Blazers
For a while, every jacket you could buy was cropped. Now things have swung the other way with blazers long enough to be mistaken for your boyfriend's. I love these jackets. They're a great, casual way to work nicer items into your every day wardrobe. Layer them over your date dresses or a sequin top with jeans. Roll up the sleeves and let your dress shirt hang out.
You may have some concerns about wearing a boyfriend jacket if your petite or have wide hips. Fear not; I'm both. If you're petite, be conscious of where it hits your shoulders so it doesn't swallow you. If you have wide hips, buy a jacket that sits just below them so it doesn't draw attention to your widest part. Resist the urge to buy a slightly fitted one as well.![](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjabJzpCh_Au6KYmgaSkhB5Nb6Y7mK4GqbLbrJJMmdIJeZXZ-aAZKsVvc1TqiMO5gfiW_dULDqZwAB5jJokiqQiA_a3SiPXHodI1n5JV2qIihJYBpf5HZFEDrJJ_Iz8qU1rrACrPhlozlBl/s400/boyfriend+blazers.jpeg)
