Trailblazer: New Ways to Wear This Workwear Classic

Not all of us are so lucky when it comes to office dress codes. Most of you ladies out there might have to stick to a certain capsule wardrobe of trousers, pencil skirts, and structured blouses. Don’t let these rules get you down though. There are still ways you can add personality to your corporate looks. I’m talking about blazers. Yes, I know this isn’t a new concept but lately there have been more fun and interesting options for this classic piece. Some come in prints that are still work-appropriate or colors that aren’t too loud for the boardroom. So, spruce up your daily workwear with these Preen-approved blazers.

Mango Fine-Stripe Suit Blazer

Lighten up your work outfit with a light blue blazer. It has a pinstripe print which gives it a polished look. It has a double breasted fastening and two pockets where you can keep your phone and wallet when you’re running around the office. You can also cop the matching trousers to complete the look. Available at SM Megamall.

Bershka Double Breasted Linen Blazer

If you have casual Fridays at work but still want to look professional, don a printed blazer. This plaid pattern is mostly gray and black but it also has a pop of orange, making it more fun. Pair this with comfy black trousers, a white T-shirt, and black loafers. Available at Glorietta 2.

Stradivarius Blazer with Wallet Pocket

You can also try to add some color to your work outfit with a blazer. If you can’t wear anything too bold, this dark green shade might be what you’re looking for. Chuck this over any corporate look to make it more your style. Available at Shangri-La Plaza.

Topshop Cross Hatch Blazer

Aside from the blazers mentioned above, it is also best to have a simple navy blue one. This basic piece will never go out of style. You can pair this with trousers, pencil skirts, dresses, and button-up blouses. If this is the one you’re reaching for, add personal touches with your accessories. Available at Power Plant Mall.

The Fifth Label Secondary Blazer

Tired of the usual blazer silhouette? Cop this kimono-like one from The Fifth Label. It is lined, has an open front, and no pockets. It also comes in a salmon-like nude color that will look great with neutrals and blues. Available on Zalora PH.
