Wear your Stripes

The cold is here, but not quite! I really don't know what to make of the weather - all four seasons in one! As I mentioned two weeks ago, the monochromatic look is big this season. I purchased this black and white blazer last week. 


I paired it with white jeans and a white top. You can wear it at work or do a smart casual like I did. Wear this jacket with any colour as long as its a solid colour. It will also go well with all types of denim. The stripes are mainly what everyone will be drawn to look at. Adding too much detail on other pieces of your outfit might be too distracting.


 I love the gold buttons, and that it's double breasted. It's also quite warm, but light weight as well. The blazer has been around since the nineteenth century, but used to only be worn by men. This is why blazers are usually worn in business or sporting environments and can be considered as a power-piece.


I'm really feeling the monochrome look. Simple and classic. This statement piece will never go out of fashion. You'll be wearing it for years and years to come :-)
