Timeless Black Blazer Styles
#1) Generation Love Ponte Knit Blazer
We’ll kick things off with this gorgeous, lightweight Generation Love blazer. It’s made from a stretchy Ponte knit so it’s super comfortable and doesn’t wrinkle, which makes it especially great for travel. It’s tailored to the body, has a slight puff shoulder and luxe gold button detailing. The extra width across the shoulders in contrast to the fitted waist gives you that that coveted, cinched-in hourglass shape – no curves required. Erin actually prefers to wear this blazer buttoned because the buttons down the front create a long lean line. SO good!
Erin has styled this blazer with everything from jeans to dresses and it’s been a versatile travel companion on a few of her recent trips. It fits TTS. This blazer was also one of our top sellers for 2024 so you all loved it as much as we do! If you thought blazers were just for the office, this might be the blazer that changes your mind. Running errands, heading to brunch, dressing up for date night…you can wear this anytime you want to feel polished and sophisticated.
