The blazer has escaped its boardroom confines to become a true closet staple, more polished than the cardigan and a lighter layer than the trench coat, it is the answer to any outfit quandary. There are no limits to how you can style a blazer, whether you opt for a classic navy topper with a white t-shirt and jeans, an oversize linen style with leather shorts or a mini skirt, or even with sweatpants a la Tracee Ellis Ross. We've highlighted six outfits to help you untap the power of a great blazer.

Ditch the knee-length skirt and opt for a mini moment (we predict they are coming back). A blazer and a mini-skirt create a super feminine silhouette, especially with Mary Janes to match.
