BLAZER TRAIL IN WHITE

If you buy one thing this winter, make it this brilliant tailored jacket – it’s the answer to your closet dilemmas

Is there a gap in your closet for a versatile jacket that’s perfect for the season and also looks smart? Then enter the tailored white blazer. Equal parts chic and cool, the crisp shade shouts confident style, while the clean lines make it appropriate for work or weekend. Slip on over a Breton with jeans for lunch with friends, or add a red satin slip dress for a more elevated off-duty outfit. Layer with a roll neck on chilly days, and if you need to up the ante, team with wide-leg white trousers to tap into this season’s suiting trend – it’s the quickest way to look the business at every winter event.
