Blazers have been on trend for a while now, and they promise not to go anywhere in 2023. Here are some tips to help you keep wearing your fab blazer into spring with all the dresses + skirts. 


✨Add a belt under the blazer to help create definition in a flowy dress. 


✨Go oversized for a casual look in a short dress or mini skirt. Or if opt for the more tailored blazer if you want to pull off a preppy look. 


✨If you’re feeling frumpy, just push up those sleeves! Pushing back the sleeves or cuffing your blazer is the best way to feel more elegant and effortless. 


✨Try something new! Belt over the blazer makes a really eye catching elevated silhouette for a fancier occasion. 


Essentially, it’s all about preserving your shape under the blazer. Depending on the cut and flare of your dress, you will want to add a belt, cuff the sleeves or make another style choice. Once you know the options, you can have fun playing with different dress + blazer combos in your closet!
