I feel that every woman should have a well-tailored classic blazer in their wardrobe (now I’m already wondering how many of you reading this have one or more than one in their wardrobe)
I say classic like it’s old fashioned but it’s clearly not. Take a look at any of the insta famous young girls out there and they are all wearing them along with fashionistas of any age group. It’s an item of clothing any woman can wear, whatever height, shape, or age.
I’m introducing you to the new Wren Blazer by my loved brand Baukjen. Be warned, you may see this one in my outfit posts even more than the Emin Pink Blazer you have seen here so often!. There’s also a special offer code for you my dear readers.

Getting back to talking about blazer trends, I find the classic cut just so much easier for me rather than wearing the overly sized box shape. I’m on the petite side, so a little waist emphasis is far more forgiving on my frame. Plus I think it gives off a far better silhouette.
The Wren Blazer, an easy choice knowing how much I have loved the Pink Emin blazer (on sale) The cut and quality is the best I’ve had in years. It’s the little details that count. Stitching, seams and hems etc. You know you are wearing something of good quality. The Gold buttons! So classic.
Buy a classic blazer and reap the rewards
This is my favourite day to day style. A pair of jeans, a T-shirt and slippers when I’m working at home but add shoes, some accessories and a good blazer and that stay at home for the day look is instantly transformed. It’s just so easy!
The blazer is such a hard worker. Wear it for work as smart separates. Wear with a maxi dress (I’ve already tried this blazer with a floral maxi dress and it looks great) or any length dress. The list is endless but I love the blazer most with jeans.
Anyway, enough about the blazer lets talk about denim…
The Wren Skinny Jean that hugs in all the right places. The skinny jean is my most worn, second best would have to be boot flare. I like that these jeans hug you very nicely yet do not feel restrictive in any way. True to size I would say (I’m wearing size 8) and no muffin top The waist height covers that! Just sitting in the right place.
Good quality denim with no muffin top!
The Wren Jeans are 95.4% cotton 4.6% Elastane. When I said about working from home in these, they really are that comfortable enough to sit about in. A great everyday pair of jeans.
I debated on wearing white accessories with the T-shirt but I love that classic denim and tan mix. The length of the jeans is a little long but I’m used to that and don’t mind a little ruching at the ankles.
I wanted to give the pockets a mention. A small detail that can make a huge difference in the fit of your jeans. Now, I’ve had my fair share of cheap jeans and something that riles me is how shallow the front pockets are.
Wear those jeans hugging the body and those pockets seem to spew out. Have you ever found that? The Wren jeans have really deep pockets and that has impressed me.
The Christina T-Shirt
I featured the Christina T-shirt a while back. I love the message. Be Kind. This is Baukjen’s charity T-shirt marking the anniversary for the Diana Award. 50% of net proceeds are donated to the Diana Award.

Hi there,
I loved your classic navy blazer. Your look is perfect! Thank you so much for sharing your styling ideas to the world. We can feel the sense of collaborating fashion, color, and an amazing interpretation. I think we can wear Pewter charms necklaces on all these casual wear to style us. What do you think?
Thanks
Nani

Thank you, Janet, xx
Looks great and they always do. My Mum used to wear them and look so smart. That is probably why I have never had one but I should get one – always tempted to do so #AnythingGoes

You should! Go and have a try on Kate! xx
Fabulous blazer! I love the longer length! And I love the message of your shirt too!
Author
Thanks so much Laura xx
That is a classic! I definitely need to look for one. I like the length of yours!
Author
Thanks Heather. You need a longer line blazer then. There’s a lot of difference out there. Check for longer length xx
Love the length and detail on the blazer
Author
Thanks Barbara. Thanks for stopping by xx
I have a classic navy jacket just like this one that I wear all the time #anythinggoes@_kardndennis
Author
Can’t beat the classics eh? xx
I absolutely love it! I love that you chose the tan bag with it as I think it gives such a warmth to the cool navy! And that jacket is so pretty! Currently, I have a pretty navy jacket with a floral print which I love but it gives a totally different vibe. I like this look, and may have to shop for a new navy jacket like this!
Author
Hi Amy. Glad you like it. A plain Navy blazer will never date. Buy the best tailoring you can afford xx
Love the classic look, always have! It looks fantastic with the jeans. I’ll have to check out if I still have my navy blazer. When we moved I packed some of my classic clothes, some I gave away. I hope I kept it. You look great.
Author
I hope you find it Marisa. That’s happened to me before. I’ve thrown away items and then regretted xx
I have a navy blazer from Joules, I really must wear it more often when i’m in the UK #pocolo
Author
a requirement in the uk with our weather! That’s why I’m collecting good blazers! xx
Laurie,
I love a classic blazer for summer. I just did a post with some women on how we wore our summer blazers with shorts!
I do love how a blazer can be dressed up or down in the summer.
Always fun to pop onto your blog and see your beautiful face!
Hugs,
Robin

Thanks, Donna. I actually feel a bit on the heavy side for me. But the jeans really do make you appear slimmer! xx
Yes this is a stylish classic that will be around in your wardrobe for many years to come. I’ve got three hiding in my wardrobe right now that have just arrived, but please don’t tell TP!
Hugs my sweet lady, Mary x.

Hi Leelo. Thank you! And thanks for stopping by. Your comment is really appreciated xx
You can’t beat a classical blazer, which can be dressed up or down and suits many styles. I have quite a few blazers in my wardrobe, some more classical than others š xxx
Author
Thanks Ann. I would love to browse around that wardrobe of yours! xx
I just love how a blazer adds a little class to a white tee and denim look!! I have a black and a navy blazer and I don’t wear them enough! I really want a blush pink one, when I can find one that works! I love the gold buttons on your blazer and that fun tee!

It’s such an effortless way to step out of the door looking smart isn’t it Carrie xx
Love the look of your classic jacket Laurie, when paired with blue jeans and simple white t-shirt the whole look is so elevated into another level
Author
Thanks Ann. A great smart casual easy style I think xx
Hands up! Yes I have a couple of blazers in my wardrobe, but they are only from H & M and New Look. Love the gold buttons, they really do make it classy! Thanks for sharing today Laurie. Jacqui Mummabstylish

Thanks Jacqui xx
I love the classy look the blazer gives to the outfit. But you look fabulous in jeans no matter what you wear on top!
Author
Oh thank you Nancy. I wish my legs were longer! xx
I thought a gold link belt low slung on one hip would bring the eye down and gentle shoulder pads in blouse. No dainty necklaces.
Author
Thank you for stopping by Virginia. Yes, I see what you mean. Although I wasn’t trying to portray a look from Dynasty xx
The Blazer would work better with more classic cut jeans, instead of these ‘jegging looking ones’. Also ditch the 1970s belt, which is one-step beyond matching accessories.
Author
I dissagree I’m afraid Dawn. I like the skinny jeans for me. And I love my Tan accessories. The seventies are my favourite era.
Blazer, Shirt and Jeans. I love it Laurie. You look amazing
Author
Thanks so much Tina. xx
