How to Dress Down Your Blazer

Blazers might feel like an old-school clothing item, but trust me, they’re far from outdated! In fact, a blazer is one of the most versatile pieces in any wardrobe—adding instant sophistication to an outfit while still being incredibly easy to dress down. As a Houston style expert and personal wardrobe stylist in Houston, I love showing my clients how to style blazers effortlessly for everyday wear.

Gone are the days when blazers were only worn with slacks or office attire. Blazers look amazing with jeans—whether you prefer skinny, boyfriend, or high-waisted styles, they add a polished yet effortless touch to any outfit. Want an even more laid-back vibe? Pair a blazer with denim shorts for an unexpected, chic combination.

To keep your look relaxed, ditch the collared shirt and go for a round neck or v-neck top. A graphic tee underneath your blazer instantly adds a cool, street-style feel. Think of a blazer as a layering essential, just like a leather jacket—it works with everything in your wardrobe!

And don’t feel restricted to fitted styles. Oversized blazers are a major trend, and they look effortlessly stylish layered over a sweater dress with sneakers for a casual, yet put-together look.

To help you style your blazer in new ways, I’ve linked some outfit inspiration below, plus some of my favorite staple blazers to add to your closet.
