Incorporating the White Blazer into Spring!


In anticipation of warmer weather to come, it can be exected that as fashionistas (yes ;)) we should now begin the process to replace our heavy Winter-wear with a refreshing batch of bright prints and lighter hues. That said, one of my biggest swaps is trading out a black blazer for a white one.
Designers like Stella McCartney and Phillip Lim showed them on their Spring runways and I guarantee that you can not wait to get on board with the trend, right?! Yes, it might be a little jarring to store away your tried and true black blazer, but believe me when I say you won't regret it. To prove that point, I'm showing you five different ways to wear this gorgeous American IRO Alessia Brushed-Crepe Blazer ($475). You can always find a more affordable option, but I love this particular one for its slight ivory hue and perfectly tailored shape. Ready to make the swap? Just scroll down to see and shop five fun ways to wear a white blazer for Spring.

White Blazer + Dress...
Pair a white blazer with a whimsical Spring dress for an effortlessly pulled-together outfit. Finish off the look with an extra coating of mascara, a dab of pink lipstick, and you're set for a night out on the town.

White Blazer + Jumpsuit...
Instead of the usual LBD, try out a blazer and jumpsuit for your next black-tie party. The black-and-white contrast demands attention, and you have got to love the look paired with dainty sandals and a standout pendant necklace!!

This one's for the experimentalist. Pair a white blazer with a striped tee, leather shorts, and statement flatforms for tough-meets-girlie ensemble.
