The game changer: An ’80s-style blazer

One of the hardest-working pieces in a woman’s wardrobe, under normal circumstances the blazer is prized for its versatility and endless wearability. However, this season a new breed dominates: think scene-stealing, ’80s-inspired shapes, power shoulders and bold embellishments and you’re on the right track. Championed by big-name brands including Balmain, Miu Miu, Marc Jacobs and Alexander Wang, plus specialist labels like Blazé Milano, the allure of these precision-cut pieces lies in their ability to make an impact without requiring any effort. Square those shoulders, go forth and turn heads.
