A friend of mine hit me up on gchat last week to ask about blazers. She was trying to decide between purchasing a grey or black boyfriend blazer. I suggested she go with black. It’s a staple and she’ll get more wear out of it. She can purchase the grey blazer in a few months just in time for Spring. She then asked if she could wear a black blazer with black jeans. My answer: ABSOLUTELY!!!
A few months ago, I co-hosted an event at The Park and I wore an all black ensemble: Black jeans, black blazer and black top. It’s all about how your all black ensemble is styled that determines if the look is a hit or a miss.
So for those of you ladies wondering how to style a black blazer with black jeans, here are a few suggestions:
*Black Stripe Wave Sleeveless Tunic (topshop.com), Goldsign Misfit Mid-Rise Skinny Jeans (net-a-porter.com), Sam Edelman VANCOUVER (solestruck.com), Black Military Satchel (metroparkusa.com), House of Harlow 1960 14KT Gold Sun Cocktail Ring (shopthetrendboutique.com), Gold Medallion Necklace (charmandchain.com), Topshop Boyfriend Blazer (wardrobeboom1.blogspot.com)

You can wear a black blazer with anything (black and blue jeans, skirts, dresses, leggings). Two staples like a black blazer and black jeans give you a variety of styling options; use accessories to define your look (edgy vs. classy).
