, by Lewkin Unnie, 6 min reading time
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.
What Exactly Is a Blazer Anyway?
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.
Why Is Oversized the Vibe?
So, what’s the deal with oversized? Let’s break down why bigger is sometimes, well, better:
- Comfort Meets Cool: More room means more comfort, and let's be honest, who doesn’t love to feel cozy while looking killer?
- Instant Edge: An oversized blazer adds an instant edge to your outfit. It’s like saying, “I’m here, I’m fierce, get used to it.”
- Versatility Vibes: Dress it up, dress it down — oversized means you can rock it over anything from a band tee to a button-up without missing a beat.
- Street Style Approved: From runway ramps to city streets, the oversized blazer is a staple in every fashion influencer’s arsenal.
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.
How Can You Make the Oversized Blazer Trend Work for 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.
Snag the Perfect Size
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.
Balance Is Key
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."
Layering Like a Style Influencer
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.
Accessorize Smart
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.
Mix and Match
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.
Cinch It
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!
Go Monochrome
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.
Basic Instinct
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.
What Should You Avoid When Styling Oversized Blazers?
Even the best trends have their pitfalls. Here are some key don'ts to keep in mind when rocking an oversized blazer:
- Don't Drown in Fabric: Oversized doesn't mean three sizes too big. Avoid looking swamped by ensuring the blazer fits your shoulders and isn't too long on the arms.
- Don't Over-Accessorize: Let the blazer be the star. Too many accessories can make your outfit look cluttered. Choose one focal piece and keep the rest minimal.
- Don't Ignore the Bottom: While the oversized blazer is a statement piece, the rest of your outfit shouldn’t be an afterthought. Avoid loose-fitting bottoms that can make the entire ensemble look sloppy.
- Don't Forget Your Shoes: The right footwear can make or break your outfit. Skip the chunky, heavy shoes that can weigh down your look and opt for something sleek and refined.
