I have been on the hunt for a chic red blazer for ages. I think it serves as such a great statement piece and since I have so many great black staple pieces I know it would just mix and match perfectly. And this is why I am still torn on this blazer as it is ALMOST exactly what I was looking for.
This piece is part of Blair Eadie’s collaboration with Halogen and I ordered half a dozen pieces from the collection when they hit Nordstrom. This blazer was one of my favorites with its polished cut, notched lapels, back vent, and slight spandex stretch. Speaking of Spandex, I love how well they pair with my Spanx Faux Leather Leggings which are an amazing 14% Spandex.
So why isn’t this blazer perfect? Of all people, my brother summed it up quite well, saying it is similar to a men’s outwear blazer that you would wear outside instead of a jacket. Yes, and I am looking for a blazer that I could wear over a dress inside to a business meeting and not sweat to death. Still, it s so cute and I love this specific hue of red which Blair has aptly named Red Chilli. Take a look at how I decided to style this red blazer:
Blazer | Halogen x Atlantic-Pacific Fitted Blazer in Red Chilli Top | BB Dakota Jack By BB Dakota Still Dot It Top
Leggings | Spanx Faux Leather Leggings Boots | Geox Felicity Knee High Boots
Earrings | BaubleBar Mini Emma Hoops Nails | Broadway Nails imPress Manicure in Tweetheart
Sunglasses |Marc Jacobs Square Framed Sunglasses
And in case you are still on the hunt for a red blazer may I direct you to this post from three months ago on half a dozens ladies who styled their red blazers in gorgeous ways? You are welcome.

Red Chilli is such a fun name for a color. So many reds to me have more of a orange hue to them that I really don’t like or some are more muted like a faded Vermont barn. Give me a good fire engine vibrant red to give that pop of color that we all strive for.
Perfect color and I like the earnings too and the boots, kind of a sexy yet sophisticated look at the same time.
Janine says
Cute outfit Kelly. The earnings are so different. I don’t think I have ever seen anything quite like them before. They contrast really nicely with the red blazer. I like the blazer on you and it would be super for me at the office.
Now if I could only buy those dimples I would be all set.
Betsy says
I do not have a red blazer that I love and to be perfectly honest I never thought about purchasing one before. I have the classic navy and black and a fun white one but no red.
You styled this one very well and now I am going to seriously have to consider getting one. I do prefer structured blazers like yours as the others type I find to messy.
Jessica says
Who doesn’t love a great red blazer? Goes with almost everything and add a much needed level of professionalism to any outfit.
Good color red on this one too.
