Ready to boss up your wardrobe? Say hello to the oversized blazer — the ultimate power move in fabric form. Perfect for everything from channeling your inner CEO to looking sharp for that TikTok scroll, this trend is your new best friend.
At Lewkin, we’re all about making sure you’re not just wearing the trend but owning it. So, whether you’re layering it over a vintage tee for that off-duty model look or pairing it with slick trousers for full-on boardroom bravado, we’ve got the deets to make sure you slay.
A blazer is like the Swiss Army knife of your closet — versatile, sharp, and always on point. Originally rocked by rowers in the 19th century (talk about vintage sporty chic!), today’s blazers are the go-to for adding a touch of class to any outfit. They come in various cuts and styles, but all share the same DNA: structured, stylish, and a tad sophisticated.
So, what’s the deal with oversized? Let’s break down why bigger is sometimes, well, better:
In short, rocking an oversized blazer is like carrying a bit of that runway rebel energy wherever you go. It’s bold, it’s chic, and it's unabashedly you.
You don’t need a fashion GPS to navigate the oversized blazer trend — we've got the insider tips to make you look like you strut straight off a TikTok runway, not like you raided your dad's closet.
The first rule of the oversized club: fit is everything. Aim for a blazer that looks intentionally big without swamping your frame. The shoulder seams should kiss the edge of your shoulders — no further. Our Linen Oversized Blazer Jacket nails this, giving you that boss energy with a side of chill.
Avoid looking like a walking tent by balancing out the bulk. Pair your blazer with something slim below — think skinny jeans or a sleek midi skirt. Rock our Midi Oversized Blazer with leather leggings for a look that says "I’m here to slay and stay."
Layers aren’t just for cakes, bestie. Pop a crop top under our Oversized Collar Blazer for texture play that screams depth and interest, or throw it over a hoodie for a streetwear feel that’s totally Insta-worthy.
Accessories should work with your look, not fight it. Opt for subtle pieces that complement, like minimalist necklaces or a chic waist belt. Going for our Buttoned Oversized Leather Blazer? A bold watch or chunky boots can amplify the edgy look without overwhelming your style.
Textures and prints can be friends, even if they seem like frenemies. A silky blouse under a soft blazer? Yes, please. Our Vintage Oversized Checkered Blazer with a ribbed turtleneck underneath will have you looking like a fashion puzzle master.
Who said oversized has to be oversized everywhere? Snag a belt and cinch that waist to turn a flowy blazer into a statement piece that shows you've got curves and aren’t afraid to flaunt them. Our Oversized Fit Basic Blazer takes on a new life with a chunky belt — perfect for accentuating that snatched waist!
Dive deep into a single-color palette to make your oversized blazer pop in a subtle yet powerful way. Pair our Solid Oversized Waist String Blazer Jacket with same-color pants and a slightly off-shade top for a look that’s effortlessly cool and collected.
When in doubt, go basic. A crisp white tee, some killer jeans, and our Oversized Basic Jacket thrown on top is a no-brainer outfit that will get you all the right kinds of attention.
Even the best trends have their pitfalls. Here are some key don'ts to keep in mind when rocking an oversized blazer:
Nailed the oversized blazer look yet? At the end of the day, it’s all about confidence and how you carry off this bold statement. Whether you’re stepping out in a single-color ensemble or mixing textures like a pro, the oversized blazer is your ticket to an effortlessly cool look that turns heads.
