Say hello to blazers. Let me tell you why.<\/p>\n

Most girls I know often fear that blazers will make them stand out, they feel too overdressed and it really doesn\u2019t help that we live in the tropics. Personally, I think they’re such gorgeous pieces of clothing, especially on a woman. Its structured, comes in a variety of cuts from boyfriend, cropped to tailored and it sits on your shoulders. Best part is, you can’t help but feel kind of powerful when you\u2019re wearing one. I know, I know, you’re really going, how can a piece of clothing evoke so many emotions?<\/p>\n

I remember during my first year in university when I basically lived in jeans and tee shirts (please don’t judge I have evolved ever since), I was working on a paper at the National Library and there was this girl sitting across me, wearing a grey tweed blazer. She paired it with a graphic comic tee shirt and black jeans. It was such a simple look but I kid you not, it was love at first sight.<\/p>\n

Since then, I no longer consider them as just as an essential piece of clothing, they have become the majority and quite possibly, permanent residents in the country of Nadya’s closet.<\/p>\n

Especially for students on a budget, blazers are such versatile pieces of clothing. From your presentations to those days you feel lazy to dress up, throwing on a blazer makes a whole lot of difference. They are no longer dull office wear in neutral colors, today they come in every single color you can imagine. From neutral tones to striking hues, take your pick, which goes well with your style. Now let me introduce you to your potential suitors.<\/p>\n

Cropped blazers<\/h2>\n

With the hemline ending at your waist, cropped blazers and maxi skirts\/dresses are a matchmade in fashion heaven. Especially for petite and small sized girls, this pairing will not only make you look taller and as it ends at your waist, it accentuates your waistline, making you look slimmer as well. Most of my cropped blazers are from h&m because they\u2019re not only affordable, they come in lots of colors and I\u2019m pretty positive they\u2019re available all year round.<\/p>\n

Boyfriend blazers<\/h2>\n

Don’t dismiss this boxy looking piece of clothing, at first sight it looks too baggy and big for girls of any size. However, it is perfect with any printed jeans or your favourite pair of pants. Top it with your printed tankstops and it helps you to exhibit modesty in your choice of clothing because it perfectly covers your behind. Ooh la la.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Tailored blazers<\/h2>\n

If you\u2019re still not too thrilled even after meeting the above two, this is the one you must must MUST invest on. Not asking much here, just one piece of tailored blazer. Choose one in the most neutral color that can match tonnes of outfits and you\u2019re pretty much equipped. Doesn\u2019t matter if you\u2019re working in an office or you\u2019re a student giving a presentation, it instantly grabs the attention of anyone in the room. It says \u201cLook at me, I have an important thing to tell you and I will present it in a smart and sleek manner\u201d Really guys, in the land of finding your perfect suitors, ehem, blazers, this is THE one.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Don\u2019t even get me started on printed blazers, I can go on and on for days! Most importantly, no you\u2019re not overdressed. Sure, some people may ask you, \u201cAre you going anywhere after this?\u201d or \u201cIs there an event I don\u2019t know of today?\u201d Truth be told, I\u2019d rather be considered overdressed than look sloppy. I\u2019m sure you share my sentiments.<\/p>\n

Invest in one piece, I’d like to warn you first, they’re quite addictive ;)<\/p>\n
