The easiest way to transform an outfit"
The answer is to add a blazer.

Whether the blazer is oversized, double-breasted, single-breasted, tweed, plaid, or a pattern; they are the world’s best investment when it comes to our wardrobe essentials. I need to show my hand up front  – I do love a blazer, I always have and always will. They make me feel well-dressed and put together, despite what is happening underneath.

This brings me to a fashion trend I’m noticing and despite what I once would have thought and said, I like it. The idea is to mix the formality of a tailored jacket with the casualness of sweats and track pants. There are sweat pants and sweat pants and then there are hoodies and hoodies. Wearing this style of blazer, whether the single button-up version or the double-breasted one, means a finer style works underneath. I’ve been wearing my blazers with cashmere pants and sweaters – with the hood out over the collar – and pairing the look with my most loved loafers of all time. The sneaker look is another option but for now, I’ve fallen back in love with these classics. I have recently replaced mine in white and black – yes, extravagant – but the investment that keeps on giving. The green and red traditional trim first had me in 1982 and not much has changed since then.
