The Only 7 Blazers Worth Talking About

by The Candidly Team
Blazers are a deep struggle.
One the one hand, nothing looks more chic. On the other hand, most of them make us feel like we’re wearing a straight jacket and when we’re inside them all we can dream about is ripping them off our bodies and setting fire to them.
We have big feelings about blazers.
And this is why you should trust us when we tell you that we scoured the internet for the only 6 blazers we’ll wear. Of course, they are either comfortable, stretchy, flowy, or all three.
#1 is so good, we might never need another blazer.
1. The Best Blazer Overall By A Landslide
What: Favorite Daughter The Favorite Blazer
Why we love it: This one does all the things we hope for a blazer to do. Makes us look polished, gives us that crisp, nipped silhouette, skims instead of adding bulk. It truly is the hands-down best fit we’ve found. And it also comes in the creamiest tan that we turn to constantly for that “quiet luxury” look we low-key lust after most of the time.
Price: $328
2. The Prettiest blazer with Actual Stretch
What: J. Crew Nipped-In Blazer In Stretch Velvet
Why we love it: Ordinarily, velvet can be hideously constricting, but the stretch in this blazer makes it work. We’re tired of sticking to just black for our blazers. This one excites us. And the size range is amazing.
Price: $268 (often on sale)
3. The Highly Flattering Lady Jacket
What: J. Crew Louisa Lady Jacket In Plaid English Wool
Why we love it: Fine, it isn’t technically a “blazer,” but this little wool jacket serves the exact same purpose and is so satisfyingly Chanel-esque. It creates perfect proportions with all our many high-waist pants, jeans, and skirts, narrowing our waist and making our legs look 3 inches longer.
Price: $328 (often on sale)
4. The Perfect Hybrid Sweater Blazer
What: By Anthropologie The Mariel Longline Cardigan Sweater
Why we love it: It’s really just a cozy sweater with amazing structure and therefore we bought it in every color.
Price: $148
5. the blazer that’s the chic-lady version of a holiday sweater
What: J. Crew Collection Blazer-Jacket In Italian Plaid
Why we love it: This one is for the most sophisticated among us. The ones who serve glass-cut cups of cocoa on silver trays and who live for the classic wintery vibes that accompany a holiday plaid. The original price may deter you, but it’s enormously on sale…so if you’re ready to feel festive, pounce!
Price: $260 - $428 (often on sale)
6. The Going-Out Blazer
What: Maeve Tiered Sparkle Longline Blazer
Why we love it: Or this can be your holiday blazer if you’re less bonkers. It’s the perfect piece of zhuzhed up outerwear to throw on over dresses or drapey pants for a sparkly-chic vibe. The glittery pinstripe is so subtle and yet instantly elevates any boring black outfit you wear under it. AND it covers your butt if coverage is what makes you feel comf.
Price: $158
7. The Spacious Yet Polished Blazer With Inclusive Sizing
What: Spanx The Perfect Oversized Blazer
Why we love it: Super spacious and stretchy but still gorgeously flattering, nipping you in the waist and still looking nice and tailored. Plus, it has excellent, extended sizing. What more does one need?
Price: $168
BONUS: The Tuxedo Blazer That Will Transform You Into The Chicest Version Of Yourself
What: J. Crew Collection Tuxedo Blazer In Italian Wool
Why we love it: Some things are too pretty not to share. This is one of those things. Wear it over anything, and you’re chic, styled, luxe, and lovely. Basically, you’ll look like you know exactly what you’re doing when it comes to clothes without having to actually learn a single thing.
Price: $398 (often on sale)
