A Leather Blazer is the Outerwear Essential You Need This Season

Made for work and for play, this boyfriend-style blazer checks all the right boxes. Front flap pockets and a single button closure add a touch of utility, while a slightly oversized fit makes it an all-around, adaptable choice.

Style tip: Add a black turtleneck underneath for a sleek, no-nonsense look, or take a tip from Hailey Bieber and juxtapose with a micro-miniskirt and sporty sneakers. Personally, the top-tier vegan leather is an added bonus that makes this one a no-brainer for me.

Did you really think I’d leave my animal lovers out? Never. As a solid proponent of “live and let live,” I’m certain that there’s no better place to be than at the intersection of style and sustainability. All hail Staud, whose expansive vegan leather line is runway-approved and features animal-friendly alternatives to all of your favorite staples, like this classic jacket blazer.

Style tip: Since this blazer features a long line and oversized fit, streamline the rest of the look with a simple tank and cutoff denim shorts. Then, polish it off with a pair of loafers and ankle socks.

As a Friends aficionado, my first and only thought of this Blank NYC blazer is that it is the perfect emulation of one ’90s It girl, Rachel Green. So if warm tones are more complimentary to your complexion and your wardrobe, a chocolatey-brown jacket like this is the epitome of elevated outerwear.

What people are saying: “The brown is so beautiful, I got so many compliments…it’s perfect!”

You can truly wear a black blazer with anything—and I mean anything.

It’s 2023, so we no longer need to ask if faux leather can look just as good as the real thing (the answer is yes). This modern, moss-colored blazer is validation that faux leather is no faux pas. An optional waist tie adds a touch of elegance and a tailored fit.

Style tip: Make it monochromatic with the matching faux leather trousers here.

Things I do like: items that are perfectly oversized. Things I don’t like: items that are so oversized you swim in them. And as someone who sadly did not achieve their dream of reaching 5’10” (or even 5’6”), I’m thankful for this petite pastel blazer.

Style tip: Use this jacket to add a pop of color to all your springy florals.

Premium leather, under $100, and available in L–5XL. What’s not to love? This jacket is a 10 out of 10.
