Best Oversized Blazer Outfit Ideas
When searching for oversized blazers online don’t be surprised if you keep finding blazers labeled “boyfriend blazer”.
What is a boyfriend blazer?
The term “boyfriend” is meant to insinuate that it looks like you’re wearing your boyfriend’s blazer, ie: an oversized/loose fit. It’s the same thing as an oversized blazer. Basically, it’s the exact opposite of fitted women’s blazers.
But what do you wear with an oversized blazer?!
Let’s find out in out in our style guide below!
1.) An Oversized Blazer With Jeans & Ankle Strap Heels
How do you wear an oversized blazer with jeans?
Adding sexy heels is a great way to balance out an oversized blazer and jeans outfit. Whether you pair your blazer with fitted jeans or a baggy jean, ankle straps heels will polish off the outfit in a sleek and sexy way.
You don’t have to stick to neutrals when styling a blazer either. Sure, you could opt for a classic black blazer, but if you stick to a solid white shirt (for example) you could also add a pop of color with either your blazer, your shoes, or both!
This is one of my favorite blazers EVER and it comes in a ton of amazing colors! If you like an oversized fit, this is hands down the blazer you need in your closet!
2.) With A Coordinating Skirt or Dress
If you’re into the matchy-matchy look, check out the latest trend – a coordinating skirt set or dress with an oversized blazer. This look is definitely not for someone who’s shy but if you’re into bold and attention-grabbing outfits, this is just that.
3.) An Oversized Blazer & Bodycon Dress
This is my all-time favorite way to wear an oversized blazer.
There is just something so chic about the 2 completely different fits and how they complement one another. A bodycon dress is a sexy vibe while an oversized blazer adds just enough cool factor.
Since a bodycon dress is fitted, you could also opt for a blazer with shoulder pads for a structured and more modern feel.
Alternatively, you go opt for a lip dress if you don’t love the super tight style!
4.) With Bike Shorts
Whether you love or hate the bike shorts trend one thing is for sure, it’s here to stay.
Throw on an oversized black blazer and combat boots for an edgy look or add a statement bag and strappy heels for date night.
5.) Oversized Blazer With Shorts & Boots
Love a more country look? Try pairing A linen blazer with a pair of denim cutoffs and pointy knee-high boots for some rodeo vibes.
Throw on your favorite statement necklace and a good belt to polish off the look.
6.) With A Turtleneck & Mini Skirt
A classic turtleneck is something every woman should have in her closet.
But you shouldn’t feel confined to pairing turtlenecks with other full-coverage items.
If you’re completely covered up top with a turtleneck and oversized blazer, add a mini skirt for some sex appeal.
Complete the look with your favorite pair of shoes, whether it’s strappy heels, booties, mules, pumps, or knee-high boots. The options are almost endless.
While this look always looks incredible in chic neutrals, you can make it work for date night as well with a bright, patterned skirt.
7.) A Crop Top & Statement Bag
Sometimes the simplest outfits have the biggest impact. An oversized blazer with a statement bag as the focal point takes a simple jeans and crop top look from boring to girl boss in 2 seconds.
It’s one of the most simple yet stylish blazer outfits for a girl’s night out.
8.) An Oversized Blazer With Statement Boots
Your blazer doesn’t have to steal the show. If you like to let your shoes do the talking, pair your blazer with statement boots/shoes and keep the rest of your attire simple.
If you like all black looks, this is an easy look to put together.
9.) Business Casual Style
Dressing for work doesn’t have to be boring.
There are plenty of oversized blazers on the market today with work-appropriate prints and fits.
When striving for business casual, look for a boyfriend blazer that’s plaid or solid and in a neutral color, and pair it with slim-fit trousers and a white blouse or sweater to keep some structure.
if you don’t have to be on your feet all day, finish off the look with a chic pair of heels!
10.) Oversized Blazer Dress
Last but not least you can wear your oversized blazer with…..nothing at all. A next level sexy fashion statement? YES, but one of the best ways, nonetheless!
Obviously, this will work better for those in a warmer climate, but if you want to bear the cold, you could always just throw on a pair of biker shorts underneath!
An oversized blazer dress is sexy and certainly exudes confidence and if you feel comfortable wearing one, GO FOR IT GIRL!
While there are oversized blazer dresses you can buy as-is, you can also just wear a traditional blazer and use one of your own belts to turn it into an oversized blazer dress.
Below are a few good belt options for doing so.
11. With Leggings & A Crop Top
This is such a cool-girl streetwear look that exudes confidence and sexiness. It would be perfect for a night out with friends and is definitely outside of the box in terms of how we typically see an oversized blazer styled.
12.) Layer a long blazer over a dress
If you’re looking for casual blazer outfits that are somewhat chic and professional – check out this combo.
To create this look I wore a solid oversized t-shirt, then layered a long blazer over top to create a look that almost looks like it came together.
I finished off the look with some chunky boots for a day of work (and walking around the city) and it was a cute yet comfy oversized look.
If you’re looking for a way to style a blazer dress where you can look professional but still be a bit edgy – this is definitely the perfect way to do that.
FAQs
How Do I Choose An Oversized Blazer?
Here are a few tips for choosing the best oversized blazer for your frame:
1 – Keep your height in mind. If you’re tall, consider checking out blazers in the men’s department!
A blazer labeled oversized in women’s might not give you the look you’re going for. Don’t be afraid to look on the men’s racks to get the exact look you want.
On the flip side, if you’re petite, it’s a good idea to look for traditional size blazers in 1-s sizes up from what you would normally order.
2 – Plan on cuffing the sleeves. An oversized blazer is meant to be just said, oversized.
Be prepared to cuff the sleeves and don’t cross a blazer off the list because you think it’s “too” oversized.
3 – Stick to plaids & neutrals. A boyfriend blazer will already draw attention.
You don’t need crazy prints or standout colors to make it pop. Plus, you’ll have way more styling options if you keep it neutral.
4 – Know the fit of the pieces you plan to pair it with. When shopping for an oversized blazer it’s best practice to already have an idea of what you plan to pair it with.
Going with a pair of fitted pants, bodycon dress, or bike shorts? Then you can go even more oversized with your boyfriend blazer. Pairing it with looser/baggier clothes? Keep it less oversized.
5 – Choose your style. A boyfriend blazer can be single-breasted, double-breasted, and can have a notched, peak, or shawl lapel. Decide which style you prefer and limit your search to exactly the look/fit you want.
If you don’t get easily overwhelmed, check out the insane selection of oversized blazers on the Asos website. There are just about 1,000 for women! Here are just a few.
Can You Wear an oversized blazer with a dress?
Heck yeah! The important thing to pay attention to is the fit of your dress as this will dictate just how oversized your blazer needs to be.
How do you make an oversized blazer look good?
As discussed above, it’s all about proportions and balance. If you wear a bodycon dress you don’t have to have as big of a blazer.
Alternatively, if you opt for a sweater under your blazer, you’ll want to make sure you have enough room in the arms so the overall look isn’t too bulky.
