The women’s blazer can be a difficult garment to pull off. Get it wrong and you could look like a power-dressing business woman from the 1980s but get it right and you can create a look that is both feminine and sophisticated. The trick to finding the perfect blazer is to know what cut and style suits your body shape so that it creates a balanced figure. The style and design of the blazer are important to an extent depending on where you intend to wear it. For example, there are lots of bold prints and patterns on the high street at the moment but these may not be appropriate for work wear and will also be limited by a selection of colours they can be matched with. If you want a blazer that is versatile and can be worn on many different occasions then stick to a plain, neutral colour or monochrome stripe. Next you need to figure out what cut will complement your figure. This is the tricky part and even when you have an idea of what you are looking for it is often a good idea to try on lots of different styles to see which is best for you. If you are unsure then take some pictures or ask a trusted friend or family member to come with you and give an honest, critical opinion. If you are lucky enough to have an hourglass figure then most blazers will look feminine and fab. Those with an athletic frame should look for something that adds curves; a blazer that cinches in at the waist would be ideal. If you have a pear-shaped figure then look for a blazer with a V-neck and shoulder pads to add volume to the upper half of your body. If you have broad shoulders or are top-heavy then stay well clear of shoulder pads and look for a cut with a peplum on the waist to balance the top half of your body. A peplum is also great for those with an apple-shaped figure as it skims over the tummy. If you are petite and slim then a shorter blazer can look super smart without swamping your figure. Again you may need to be careful about broadening your shoulders too much with pads and lapels so it is sometimes a good idea to look out for blazers with a round neck or zip fastening. Loose longer jackets can look great too but remember to add a belt so that your waist is not lost under the fabric.
