For better or for worse (depending on how you look at it), coat season is coming to an end. During the winter months I wear a nice wool coat to look smart, but when spring arrives, lighter layers are needed and it’s time to get a little more creative.
In search of a new spring jacket that will maintain the shine I’ve worked hard to create, I set my sights on a specific blazer that can fill this role. This spring I’m investing in the hourglass blazer trend.
This fashion month is saturating the streets of New York and Copenhagen, as well as the social media feeds of French women I follow, the style set is already incorporating this fresh blazer silhouette into their spring collection. This elegant jacket has a structured shoulder and a long cut, tapering slightly at the waist and then flaring slightly at the hips, giving it a distinct hourglass shape.
Although the jacket looks extremely chic when worn with flared or wide-leg trousers, those in the know already call it a solid staple and style it repeatedly with their favorite jeans.
We’ve already seen that the peplum top trend is one to watch this season, so it’s no surprise that the hourglass blazer is also on the rise. Read on to discover our selection of the best hourglass blazers to shop this spring.
