The problem is, it's not always easy to get one that looks 'just right', as it were. With that in mind, here are 5 key tips when shopping for that ideal blazer.
1) COLOUR

A key consideration to make. Scour your wardrobe before buying and consider what might go with most of your other clothes. Dark colours are always a fail-safe option - as is grey - but if you're feeling more adventurous a brightly coloured blazer will lift any outfit and make a bold statement.
2) FABRIC
As in my last post (Fabric Feels), it's key to invest in a blazer that is made of good quality material, such as tweed or even silk (if you want a lighter-weight one). This will ensure the blazer not only lasts for more time but also fits better.
3) FIT

5) LENGTH
Long blazers were a thing of the 80's (along with over-sized shoulder pads, yikes). For a modern look, opt for blazers where the hem skims your hip bone.
