13 Blazer Trends To Switch Up Your Autumn Style

There’s a laundry list of clothing that could make a bid for most important autumn style piece: the knee-high boot, the leather trench coat, the polo knit and the silk slip dress are all worthy contenders. Arguably though, one item takes pride of place in our autumn/winter wardrobe, year after year. Tying all of these pieces together, it's the final, most important factor in building an outfit that will take you from overcast, late summer days through to winter gales. It can be thrown over party dresses, jeans and a T-shirt, and lounge sets alike, and can easily go with any aesthetic du jour, from coastal grandmother to Barbiecore to Tumblr girl, depending on your mood. Pure fashion magic.

Enter: the blazer. Whatever your go-to – from boxy, oversized cuts to sleek, velvet numbers – every AW wardrobe and style aesthetic needs one. So with the evenings drawing in, our annual Gilmore Girls rewatch queued up and pumpkin spice lattes back on the Starbucks menu, what better time to find your match?

Below, peruse our selection of the best blazers on the market right now. You’ll find all the classics (basic black and white styles, traditional tweed, autumnal browns) but to really jump-start your AW style, there are also plenty of fun alternatives, like velvet and satin, rainbow brights and slick leather looks.

For when you need a pop of colour to brighten up dull autumn days.

A touch of satin elevates any look and instantly makes your outfit feel more put-together.

You just can’t beat an oversized blazer. Throw one over your favourite dress and wear it with a pair of chunky biker boots for a smart-casual date night look. For the day after, it adds an easy polish to denim and a chunky knit.

Marrying the edge of a leather jacket with the class of a tailored blazer, what’s not to like?

You can’t go wrong with a classic style like this, plus it'll look great with all the reds, oranges and khakis already in your AW wardrobe.

White blazers might seem like more of a spring/summer style but they brighten up autumnal neutrals with ease.

Velvet blazers bring a touch of luxury to any outfit and are ideal for a dinner date look. Alternatively, wear with jeans, a graphic tee and heeled boots for ‘70s-esque, rockstar vibes.

Don’t discount a staple grey blazer. Try it with white denim and graphic prints.

A wardrobe staple that everyone should have in their AW arsenal.

If you’re looking for a go-to autumn jacket, a brown blazer never misses. It's a softer, warmer alternative to black.

Nothing screams autumn like a cosy textured jacket. Corduroy adds a touch of retro ‘70s cool to your AW rotation.

A fun, sparkly jacket is what you need to keep warm and add a festive touch to your party outfits.
