A black blazer is hands down one of the most important pieces in your wardrobe. If you’re going to invest in anything this fall, let it be this piece. A blazer adds a sophisticated feel to any outfit. It can be paired with a collared blouse and pencil skirt for the office, over a printed t-shirt and flared jeans on the weekend, or over a frilly dress with knee high boots for some added edge. Years ago, I purchased a black tuxedo blazer by 3.1 Phillip Lim. It was a bit of a splurge, but definitely falls under the “I will never part with this piece for as long as I live” category in my closet. I reach for it time and time again. My picks for a black blazer are as follows:
1. AllSaints Kovach Blazer – $295
2. Topshop Black Boyfriend Blazer – $130
3. Reiss Hadden Big Pocket Tailored Jacket – $327
4. Wallis Black Structured Jacket – $78
5. Kirna Zabete for Target® Long Sleeve Blazer in Black – $50
6. Helmut Lang Prism Woven Blazer – $645
I’m in love with the Black Boyfriend Blazer from Topshop. Good find! The perfect staple!

It’s true – a black blazer really is so versatile! I have one from H&M and wear it several times a week with different looks. Since I purchased that one, my blazer collection has grown to include a white one and a pink one!
sounds like you’re building quite the collection, Corey! how fun! x
Agreed, a black blazer is a definite staple in every wardrobe! Love your picks!

My black blazer is totally a staple! That being said, I definitely want to add another style to my closet. You can never have too many!

I bought a really cool cropped blazer at Ann Taylor for $45 recently and it was a total steal. Blazers are timeless and I believe Kate Middleton taught us that

I totally agree…every woman needs a classic black blazer in her wardrobe! I have 2, but want to replace one of them with something a little more sophisticated. Love the All Saints version!

So glad to see you post this! I just got a black blazer at the BR outlet for a pretty good price. I think it will be a great piece until I find something truly splurge worthy. I bet yours looks amazing! Greetings from Atlanta.
