I’ll admit that despite my feeble attempts to wake up by the first ring of my alarm and get out the door cat-walk ready before my first class, mornings don’t always agree with me. And although it is a staple (not to mention a favorite) in my closet, my sleek black blazer is never the first thing I grab when I need to rush out the door. Sometimes throwing a blazer on is as easy as throwing on any regular jacket, but other times I am appalled by my blazer’s ability to turn me into a 30-something-year-old businesswoman (or something of the like). But you don’t have to rack your brain for ways to avoid this catastrophe, and looking classy and sophisticated or casual cool doesn’t have to be a chore. A few extra minutes and an eye for style is all you need to bring out the best in every blazer, whether you’re headed out on the town or looking to be cozy for your 7:30 AM!
When you’re heading off to class, keep your blazer look casual with jeans, a striped t-shirt, and gym shoes. Looking put together doesn’t have to be a hassle. Keep this look simple and comfortable while still looking like you tried — even on a Monday morning!

While a blazer may not be the first piece of your closet that pops into your mind when you think of a cozy everyday outfit, dressing down and snuggling up in a blazer is easier than you think. Pair an oversized black blazer with a comfortable gray sweater dress, thick plaid scarf, and leggings. Dress it up with booties, or dress it down with flats, either way, this look is perfect for a day of Christmas shopping or a cram sesh in the library.
