Blazer ballistic

Ah, the boyfriend blazer. That over-sized, subtle statement of style that has hit the ground running this autumn/winter.  The beauty of this jacket is that it doubles as inner and outwear, and simply looks effortless.  Many a summertime outfit can be updated for colder temperatures with the addition of a boyfriend jacket.  In general, the whole ‘boyfriend’ theme (because really those jeans are unavoidable, too) allows us a little breathing room, whilst still managing to look smart (could it be, the miracle jacket?).  Even if over-sized isn’t exactly your cup of tea, the jacket is just plain sophisticated and styled.

Every shop has an option, so we’ve created a high-low split for you to shop your favourites.  Above we have jackets by Vince, Maje, Amanda Basi and Burberry to suit your shopping splurges.  For those not quite sold on the style, sample the looks below from Asos brands and Urban Outfitters. After all, why should boys have all the fun?
