Best Oversized

Everlane The Oversized Blazer

$218 at Everlane.com

Size Range: 00-16 | Materials: Tencel lyocell, organic cotton | Colors: 6

For Byrdie writer Shannon Stubbs, blazers are out of her comfort zone, so finding one that suited her personal style was tricky at first. However, Everlane’s The Oversized Blazer turned out to be the one that aligned best with her day-to-day wardrobe—she notes how much she loves the relaxed fit, as a boxy, shoulder-padded look is not her favorite. It’s undeniably one of the most versatile pieces she has now, saying how she can wear it comfortably with either slacks and heels or jeans and flats, whether heading to the office or to a night out. You can’t beat the six neutral color options, either.

Best Double-Breasted

& Other Stories Double-Breasted Wool Blazer

View on Stories.com

Size Range: 0-14 | Materials: RWS wool | Colors: 2

When initially shopping for blazers, writer Maddie Barber, has always been drawn to the more casual, oversized blazer—so she surprised herself when she found herself gravitating towards this polished, double-breasted option from & Other Stories. The chocolate-brown hue, asymmetrical button closure, and shoulder pads make it both one of the most versatile and unique pieces in her closet. Plus, it’s made from 97% wool, so it feels more breathable than polyester options.

Best Casual

Everlane The Denim Chore Blazer

$198 at Everlane.com

Size Range: XXS-XXL | Materials: Organic cotton | Colors: 3

As we’ve seen, there are several ways to wear a blazer, and we love Everlane’s The Chore Blazer for a more casual look. Stubbs tried this one out and loved it, noting the innovative blazer-meets-denim-jacket design feels chic and is versatile enough to work with several outfits already in her wardrobe. While this sand-colored blazer is a solid choice for warmer months (though we think it would look so cute with a winter white look as well), this 100% organic cotton option comes in black and a mustard shade that are more aligned with fall and winter palettes. She also loves the relaxed fit—it doesn’t have a baggy, ill-fitting feel like other oversized blazers sometimes have.

We recommends sizing up if you have a curvier figure and plan to wear this buttoned up, as it feels a tad tighter when closed.

Best Cinched

Dynamite Cinched Collarless Blazer

Size Range: XXS-XL | Materials: Polyester, recycled polyester, rayon, wool, spandex | Colors: 1

Anyone who dislikes the look of traditional blazers will love this collarless option from Dynamite, which Byrdie writer Anna Traver took for a spin over a few weeks. Between the lower-cut V-neckline, chic buttons, and tie closure that provides a subtle cinch at the waist, this option is one of the most fashion-forward, elevated ones we’ve seen. While it’s more on the fitted side, Traver notes that there’s still room to move comfortably—so it never feels constricting.

She often wore it to the office with a basic layer underneath but details how well it works on its own for nighttime, whether for date night or drinks with friends. The options are endless when thinking of how to pair this with other pieces in your closet—button it up with baggy jeans and pointed-toe boots, keep it open and style with a mini skirt and heels—it’ll fit seamlessly into your wardrobe.

Best Fitted

Alex Mill Primrose Blazer

$350 at NordstromView on Alexmill.com

Size Range: XS-XXL | Materials: Polyester, wool (in black, others are 100% wool) | Colors: 3

Chic and classic, this Alex Mill blazer is an instant wardrobe staple. The fitted style is traditional for a blazer, but as someone who doesn’t have to dress corporate-formal for the office, Barber paired it mostly with baggy jeans instead of matching trousers, giving it a more laid-back look. She loves that the neckline isn’t too deep, so if she wanted to button it all the way up without a shirt underneath, it wouldn’t look too revealing. For a more casual look, she’ll leave it open with her favorite white T-shirt underneath.

While the black colorway is only 30% wool (she wishes it were 100%!), the other grey and navy striped options are fully made from the natural material, allowing for more breathability while wearing.

Best for Work

Express Novelty Button Collarless Jacket

View on Express.com

Size Range: XS-XL | Materials: Polyester, rayon, spandex | Colors: 2

Shopping for blazers for a more practical reason? Cute work blazers can be trickier to find, though Traver’s convinced us this Express style is perfect for an office outfit or any event that requires more formal attire. It has a preppy, classic feel, but in a Charlotte York way (as she describes it), not a private school way, and is fancy enough for any upcoming holiday parties on your calendar, considering the structured silhouette, luxe gold buttons, and jet black colorway. However, this blazer could easily be dressed down with jeans and flats—it’s more versatile than you think.
