Broad Shoulder Blazers Are Officially Back

If you’re wondering how to upgrade your outfit of the day, there’s nothing quite like a blazer with broad shoulders to wrap up your style. We are loving the look of power shoulders, which have returned as a major retro inspired trend for the current season. For your inspiration, look no further than the Fall 2017 runways, where the broad shouldered jacket stole the spotlight. We’ve curated a few runway looks to help you master the trend today.

Marques’ Almeida

Try drawing your sartorial inspiration from the Marques’ Almeida, in the form of a blast from the past. Slip into an oversized black and white blazer, with colourblocked panels and big bold buttons. The look of a double-breasted jacket can instantly bring the 1980s back. Add yellow slip-on booties and a sleek leather handbag to complete your accessory statement.

Dries Van Noten

Layers are the way to go, particularly when chilly autumn temperatures are taken into account (as spotted at Dries Van Noten). A beige turtleneck can be paired with a slip dress and a broad-shouldered navy blue blazer. With a pair of sensible shoes and minimal jewellery, the entire look can bring your style to life.

Isabel Marant

At Isabel Marant, minimalism was the key theme. A dark blue blazer was paired with a crisp white blouse, midi skirt and slouchy leather boots. The neutral, dark tones are chic and universally flattering, while the sharp blazer can work for either day or night.
