Many people associate blazers with professional wear. However, blazers are a great piece to wear in your everyday wardrobe. By dressing down a blazer, one can create a classic look that can be tailored to personal style.

Jeans

Wearing a blazer with jeans is the simplest way to dress it down. For an edgy look, pair a blazer with black jeans, a simple white tee and black boots. For a preppy look, pair the blazer with a fun, colored button down and dark wash jeans. Accessorize the look with a bold statement necklace, classic watch and ankle booties.

Knit Dress

Pair a blazer with a knit dress for a semi-casual look. Wear patterned or colored tights and tall boots to dress to keep the look appropriate for campus. Add delicate necklaces or bangles to complete the ensemble. Wearing a blazer with a dress made from comfortable material is a great substitute for a cardigan or sweater.

Printed or Patterned Pants

Wearing a solid blazer with bold, printed pants is one way to tone down the professional look of a blazer. Simply pair patterned pants with a solid blazer and a simple white shirt. Too accessorize the look, wear bold statement earrings to draw attention to the face. 

These are just a few ways of many to dress down a blazer. Remember that blazers can be worn any day of the year, not just in the workplace or for an interview.
