Style tip?  The beauty of the boyfriend blazer is its laid back, carefree essence.  It’s cut a bit long, it’s not perfectly fitted - and has that je ne sais quoi that makes it so alluring.  If you don’t already have one (or several), do go out and get one in a nice, neutral color - black or grey works especially well.  You’ll be able to pair it with everything from a skinny pair of pants to your spring dresses (belted, of course).  For an extra slim look, look for one with a skinny lapel, like the Narciso Rodriguez blazer shown at left.  If you already have your basic boyfriend blazers hanging in your closet, you can try one with a bit of embellishment, via color or texture.

What do you think?  How would you wear the boyfriend blazer?  Share your thoughts in the comments!
