You all saw how excited I got whenever I opened up this black blazer from my September Golden Tote box and I promised that it would not only be a part of my fall wardrobe, but I would share how I’m styling it, too – so I did! But before we jump in, if you missed last weeks mom style post, you can check it out here.

How to Style The Perfect Black Blazer

A black blazer is one of the most versatile and timeless pieces in any wardrobe. Its sleek, polished appearance can elevate nearly any outfit, making it a must-have for both professional and casual settings. Styling a black blazer can be as simple or as creative as you like, depending on the occasion and your personal style.

For a classic, professional look, pair a black blazer with tailored trousers or a pencil skirt. A crisp white button-up shirt underneath adds sophistication, while pointed-toe heels or loafers complete the ensemble. This look is ideal for work meetings, interviews, or formal events where you want to exude confidence and poise.

For a more relaxed, everyday style, a black blazer can be paired with jeans. Whether you opt for skinny, straight-leg, or wide-legged denim, the blazer adds structure to the outfit. Underneath, you can go for a simple t-shirt or a lightweight sweater for comfort and ease. Add sneakers or ankle boots to keep the look casual yet polished. This combination transitions easily from day to night, making it perfect for outings with friends or casual dinners.

To add some personality, consider mixing textures and prints. A black blazer over a floral blouse or graphic tee brings an element of contrast, while leather pants or a silk skirt adds depth and interest. You can also accessorize with bold jewelry, scarves, or a statement bag to inject some individuality into your look.

For an edgy twist, try layering the black blazer over a hoodie or pairing it with distressed jeans. This street-style-inspired approach creates a balance between sophistication and casual cool.

This blazer is so perfect because it’s not your classic black blazer, which traditionally has buttons down the front. Nope. This one is more on the casual side, yet can be worn to the office or dress up any look, but is more relaxed overall. It doesn’t have any buttons down the front, making it easy to wear open and show off whatever you have going on underneath.

The sleeves are also a little bit shorter, so you can actually see your watch or bracelets that you have stacked on your wrist – which I love! And these sleeve are actually scrunched a bit, too.

So the blazer is obviously from my Golden Tote, but you can shop a similar one here. My shirt is a basic tee with a pocket and peplum from TJMAXX (my favorite!) and I have been wearing it all over the place because it’s so comfortable.

Here’s a better look and you can see me totally having a Marilyn Monroe moment here! And no joke: this was literally seconds before the wind whisked my Valentino sunglasses off the roof where we were taking these pictures (insert sad face emoji). Thank goodness I got them at Nordstrom Rack, but still….Valentino.
