Trend: Blazers

The Boho look is the epitome of hippie, and disheveled. For a while now, we have been seeing this look a lot but designers are starting to shift their focus. Designers like Stella McCartney, Alexander Mcqueen and Kennith Cole are showing women in tuxedo jackets, bow ties and dress shirts. The blazer is becoming very popular because it's light, sophisticated and can still be casual. Here are some great blazers that you can throw on over everything.

Dressy:
A blazer like this looks a little bit more like a tuxedo jacket but, if you wear this with some trousers and stilettos you are sure to be drop dead gorgeous. This is from BCBG MAXAZRIA and the look of the coat is very popular right now. Along with a thin collar, no buttons and pointed shoulders it is very clean and modern.

Casual:

A denim blazer like this one, from Forever 21 will be very casual. It's lightweight and has a no pockets for a simple look. During the day, place a thin belt around your waist over the blazer. During the evening, wear skinny jeans, a black blouse and pumps.

Pattern:
A pattern with flowers on a blazer, like this one from ASOS will catch a lot of attention, but you can't over do the rest of your outfit. Wear a white shirt, with black trousers or skinny jeans with black pumps to really wow.

Long:
A Blazer with longer sleeves and length, like this one from Theory will look more elegant and more serious. Wear this with a pencil skirt and a dress shirt.

Cropped:
A cropped blazer like this one from Forever 21 is flirty and fun, perfect for school or just studying at the park. Wear one with a fun color and shorter sleeves for the best results.
