The Slouchy Blazer Craze - 4/21/2008

Everything old is new. Goes around comes around. Etc... I was inspired by a new post over at IAmFashion this past week. She was talking about the new longer, looser blazers silhouette she has noticed lately and how she may need yet another black blazer. I can so relate. When I read her post I think my mind set changed. I now want a slouchy blazer!

The Style Bubble has also been noticing the resurgance of loose, slouchy blazers worn with high waisted trousers. She always has great insights & is fun to read.

These observations must have been on my brain because I was drawn to similar bits when I was out shopping for new stock for my store this weekend.

So, I have great news for anyone wanting to try the look without spending an arm and a leg on YSL runway fare! I have some of these coveted items now in the store.

I have two great jackets, probably actually from the early 90's from which the trend comes. I nabbed a great bright royal blue wool blazer by Christian Dior. It's really a nice weight & will be wonderfully slouchy on the right frame. On me it's more formfitting, too bad. I'm blessed in the "more to love" category.

Secondly is a great "go-with-all" black Dana Buchman. It's a wonderful rayon mix. Lightweight but will work anytime of the year. Just be warned - both have shoulder pads! I'm sure a skilled tailor can remove or you may want to ride the boxy wave... Also, swing by and check out the other new things - I discovered a wealth of dress pants. You know, you can never have too many!
