Blazing through Spring and Summer

I'm a big fan of blazers. What is with this obsession you ask? A well cut blazer is a little gem in the wardrobe. For both men and women.

Being the practical sort of gal that I am, I do like a piece that can be used in various different ways. Work, casual, with a dress, with trousers, or jeans (this has a green eggs and ham ring to it!)

Floaty dresses teamed with a blazer are very trendy right now. Wearing one for work with a skirt or trousers is great for this time of the year. Many blazers this season have long or three-quarter sleeves and therefore can be used during summer.

A blazer worn with a fabulous pair of jeans and a great top (floaty, sequinned, or a plain singlet with a great accessory). Any look you want to achieve can be achieved using a blazer.

Best of all, the blazer's structure suits the curvy girl perfectly. Always single breasted, they cut through the chest area minimizing it, whilst nipping in the waist and promoting that ultimate shape, the hourglass.

Rules for wearing blazers are as follows: 1. They must have a button or clasp of some sort to be able to be nipped in or you may in fact lose that previous waist outline. 2. Length, be careful, too long and it will wear you!! This is one piece that does need to have a classic cut.

However Classic need not be 'boring'. Just because it has a classic cut, lets go a little more interesting with colour, pattern or texture! I LOVE the navy and white striped blazers I am seeing in Just Jeans and Esprit. I am also loving the fabulously bright coloured blazers in many mainstream shops. Hot pink (in Dotti) for the brave, lots of cobalt blue and emerald greens around too. Lovely brown toned one in Jacqui E at the moment.

So this season. Go for it. You will not regret getting a blazer, they are staples and so very versatile. If you need help choosing one, then give us a call www.wardrobeflair.comand we can take you out to the shops and show you just which one is best for you.

Stay colourful!

FAQ

I am really keen to see a consultant. What are the key things you should look at when choosing a stylist?

Referrals are key. Talk to people and see who has seen a consultant and how they found their service. Look for a service that covers colours and shapes. Some consultants only focus on certain areas and if you are not getting the full package, you will not benefit as much from your experience.

For instance, having your shape assessed is as vital as having your colours done. There is no point in wearing great coloured clothing, if it doesn't suit your shape!

Q: I want to break out of wearing black but I just don't know what colours suit me?

Yes, it is very hard to break the black habit if you are unsure as to what is a good alternative. So don't feel alone in this!

The best thing you can do is either hire someone from www.wardrobeflair.com and they can come and do your colours and assess your shape and talk you through what you need and also take you personal shopping to show you the colours and shapes that best suit you.

If you want to try and go it alone, think of the times you have had compliments with certain colours you wear and try and build this up.
