You may have come across several people wearing different types of blazers, making you wonder if a blazer could be worn correctly with everything in the fashion world.

Pretty much so, blazers can be worn with anything and everything—but it does not mean you will get it right with all these things.

What is a blazer at all?

In the world of fashion, a blazer is a type of jacket resembling a suit coat but it is not a suit coat because it is cut more casually, typically with metal buttons.

The material or cloth used in making blazers are exceptionally or usually durable as they are intended to last as outdoor jackets.

This means that, apart from the styling, the value or quality of a blazer is embedded in the cloth it is made out of…

Blazers are often made with naval-style metal buttons, reflecting their historic boating club association.

Even though blazers started as and continue to be uniform garments mostly used by airline, school, yachting and rowing clubs, the general fashion world, especially celebrities have hijacked them.

And the moment celebrities take over a style, it goes viral with millions of fans getting addicted.

So let’s give you the guide whiles using examples from your favourite Ghanaian celebrities…

The Obvious Casual Look-Joselyn Dumas

The good thing about blazers is that, you can just throw them over everything without having to worry so much about if they complement what is beneath or not.

You can wear them in the ‘obvious casual look’ category as Joselyn Dumas has done. They become a life saver if you are just at home and a respected friend or boss say calls to ask ‘I am nearby so can we have a drink?’.

At this stage, you do not have the time to go into your wardrobe to look for something to iron or fix…

Simply throw a simple blazer on whatever you are wearing and it will do the magic. You will appear simple but quality.

This is the quickest way you can add some sort of professionalism to your everyday home appearance.

Chic But Casual Look-Menaye Donkor

If you are looking for the sophiscated look without losing your casual appearance, a blazer can do this for you….And this is exactly what Menaye Donkor has done.

If Menaye takes off the blazer, she will be left with that sort of strictly business (professional look).  She was able to maintain this look whiles adding unto it the much needed voguish appearance by adding a blazer…

This is perfect for planned meetings—especially when you want to make statements like ‘I understand fashion but that is not all I am made up of, I am still a serious professional individual’.

I Am Coming From Somewhere Look-Yvonne Nelson

As my heading explains, if you are coming from a club and have to attend to a serious business need like meeting a client, you can do the trick with a blazer…

Same way if you have to briefly meet a client and then after there, head to a party or a night out, you can go for the ‘I Am Coming From Somewhere’ look as Yvonne Nelson has done.

To get it going, you wear your normal skimpy outing or clubbing dress and wear a bright coloured blazer over it.

The reason why you need a bright coloured blazer is to take the attention from your so short or skimpy dress…The blazer pulls in all the eyes.

And now what not to wear blazers with…

As I mentioned above, blazers go with pretty much everything. It is therefore difficult to produce a list of what not to wear with a blazer…

However, I have seen one thing wrongly repeating itself in the world of blazer fashion. And that is, the ‘Bright African Print’.

Never wear a blazer over any bright African print. If you can, just leave blazers out totally if you want to go for an African Print…

Most people I have seen with this sort of style have gotten it wrong so just stay in the safe zone.
