Boy BlazersOctober 29, 2008 | 10:43AM

Add a little shrunken menswear to your looks this fall! This is another new interpretation on a classic look, so it is updated and feels new, but is ultimately timeless – the perfect balance between tradition and trend. A shrunken boy blazer can be the perfect end to an outfit – either throw it on over a tee or blouse with jeans and flats for a weekend-cool look, or even over a dress for work. Spring dresses can be worn all year round with a little jacket, and a blazer adds a nice degree of edge to ultra-fem looks. While it may seem like an investment piece, blazers-of-the-moment are actually available for every wallet size. Check out these styles from Forever 21 all for under $40! If you do feel like splurging a little bit more, check out the always impeccable blazers at J.Crew. Another option which I have learned from How to Have Style is to buy a boy’s blazer in a large size, for half the price but equally high quality. Good luck!

I love blazers..I have quite a few. I wrote a question about one to Isaac. I have a beautifully tailored blazer that was my Mom's from the 40's. It has these cool pleats in the back and cuffs at the sleeves. I am getting it cleaned and will wear it with jeans.....you can dress a blazer up or down..I just love them!

Hey Beth, I love that about blazers - they are so versatile! Even over a little cocktail dress, it's such a great look! In NYC it's still the perfect blazer temperature, too. Thanks for reading!
