Thursday Trend: Bright Blazers

04/25/13 | Fashion and Style, H+M, Rag + Bone, Thursday Trend

A blazer wields a lot of power: It can make you look like a frumpy or a fashion maven. Bright blazers are one of the hottest trends in the workplace and on the streets.  A pop of color can really elevate and add interest to your outfit like these stylish ladies:

 Go ahead try something different and pair a bold colored blazer with your favorite work outfit or a casual look.  To maximize what a blazer can do for you by paying attention to the details of its construction – it is really something you need to try on and it either will really work for your shape or not.  The three big things you need to focus on are the lapel, length, and the cut of the sleeves. You can wear one these colorful and versatile pops of color with jeans, dresses, capris and even shorts. A great blazer provides a great way to balance your body’s proportions. These are my favorite options combining brights and business with a touch of preppy:

Pink / Papaya /  Tangerine / Neon
Grass  / Emerald / Aqua / Cobalt 
Do you like the new bright color trend in office wear?
What is your favorite way to style a bright blazer?

    This is a trend I am absolutely loving. As classic as I think neutrals are I almost always have to have at least some pop of color. I love all of the blazers in your post.
