Blazers have always been a popular choice of clothing since they began to emerge in the early 19th century, with an air of business and smartness surrounding them but recently, oversized blazers have become a fashion favourite, especially amongst young people as they have begun to take a modern twist on them.
The combination of blazers, in this case, mainly baggy, straight cut jeans or fun coloured trousers, makes for an updated look of the blazer, reclaiming its popularity, not just within the workplace but also for everyday life as well as becoming an influential look for a night out. It provides comfort while also being well dressed; the variety of what the blazer works with makes it so favourable for all ages.
