The festive season is all about fun, jubilation and excitement. Why don’t you add to it all with some fun colours? Try pairing a blazer in a bold colour with a print skirt like Ama. She loves figure-hugging pieces that show off her curves but isn’t afraid to try new things too. We love the skirt and all that red really tie the look together.
A pantsuit never goes out of style

Keep the harmattan away with a fabulous pantsuit like this pleated sleeve set from TIFE. Mimi Onalaja looks sleek and in charge of the world in this feminine statement piece. Copy her style by looking for something with fun features like pleats, fringe details, cut-outs etc to make your outfit stand out.
Show off in something shiny

Shimmer and shine have been a major trend this season. Everyone’s wearing them and you should too! Toke Makinwa, in particular, is someone who loves this trend. Take a leaf from her book and try a shimmery blazer that would keep you warm & fabulous.
Keep things interesting with varying lengths

Did you know that simply trying a blazer in a longer length can give your outfit an instant facelift? There’s something classic about a long blazer that we have come to appreciate and love. Take a look at how Stella of J’Adore Fashion styles hers. She can go from tailored to grunge and the long blazers work both times.
Try something out of the box

When learning how to wear a blazer, you have to try new things. It doesn’t pay to stay with the familiar – you need to step out of the box. If you usually don’t wear bold colours, try one. If plain and simple is your style, give plaid a chance. The trick is, if you wear something different, and end up loving it, you’ll look & feel extra amazing.
And whatever you do, make sure you’re comfortable. Nothing speaks louder than confidence. We hope to see you looking confident and stylish this Christmas.
