Trend File: Blazin’ Blazers

The season is all about tailored blazers in bright colours and funky floral patterns. From sweltering summers to cooler winters, structured blazers are an all-seasons must-have. Fashionistas have been spotted wearing an array of funky blazers in different cuts — tuxedo, cape, cropped, structured — you name it!



Jackets and blazers are flattering for the figure and make you look sophisticated. You can wear them classy and smart in neutral colours like black and white, or add a touch of flirtatiousness by wearing it in a bright fuchsia pink or electric blue like Madhuri Dixit’s romantic red jacket. Since the summer heat has not yet dwindled, you can sport a funky look by wearing a vivid, patterned jacket. Don’t be afraid to experiment with a combination of outfits — you can pair it up with worn out jeans, printed shorts and even a flared dress. However, make sure you pick the right fabric. Avoid anything bulky and instead, go for lighter fabrics like silk, cotton or linen.
