These days, fashion girls approach blazer shopping with an "anything goes" attitude. That's because with all the fresh iterations on the market, you can go well beyond the classic double-breasted silhouette and take your work-appropriate outfit to the next level.

When you're wearing any of the designs ahead — all of which come with tie sleeves, unexpected cutouts, a wrap-effect, or a long train of affixed ruffles — you'll feel business professional but playful at the same time. Board meetings will become more interesting, the compliments will roll in, and you'll feel perfectly comfortable hitting up happy hour at 5 p.m. Think of this new look as the one simple way to revamp your office wardrobe this season.
