6 Stylish Blazers You Need in Your Wardrobe

In case you missed pretty much all of fashion month, blazers are in, big time. It seems that every year, as fall approaches, fashionistas around the world unbury their blazers from the back of their closets and start dusting them off. It’s like a stylish girls’ rite of passage as soon as the temperature drops below 75 degrees. Aside from their role as the perfect transitional piece, blazers are just flat out fashionable. From the basic black blazer, to the bar-hopping worthy velvet number, blazers have got your back, literally. So, as fall makes its (delayed) return this year, make sure your wardrobe is stocked and ready for whatever blazer worthy occasion is thrown your way. Oh, and remember, you can never have too many!
