How to wear an oversized embroidered blazer: 5 contrasts

Let the blazer lead the outfit, or take it further through contrast: satin, denim, tulle and lace.

1. Satin

A structured blazer against a glossy dress or skirt. In our photos, Comet is worn over a cream satin dress, Eclipse over an asymmetric black satin skirt, and Salvage over a black satin skirt and a white top.

2. Tulle and lace

Sheer layers under a tailored blazer: Reverie appears with a layered lace dress, and Plumage with cream tulle.

3. Leather

Orbit is styled with leather shorts and chunky boots: rough on rough, with the chains as points of light.

4. Metallic pleats

Crescent sits over a silver pleated skirt and black boots: the embroidery and the metal answer each other.

5. Black tights and boots

The most direct look: Solstice with black tights and tall boots lets the embroidered back speak for itself.

Open or buttoned?

An oversized blazer keeps its presence either way. Open, it gives a vertical line; buttoned, it becomes more compact. See all the blazers.
