Three Ways to Wear Instagram's Favourite Trend

Three Ways to Wear Instagram's Favourite Trend and What to Wear Em' With.

Spring is on it's way, and the weather is changeable from moment to moment; what do we use to keep warm yet stylish? Blazers. Blazers are so versatile, however styling this current trend can be difficult... that's why you have us.

Style Guide One: Big N' Baggy

An over-sized blazer is an easy find, due to their popularity in local Charity shops. When on the hunt, the mens section can be your best option where you'll find them reasonably priced. Buying second hand aids with sustainability - so no guilt when shopping this way.

Our personal favourite way to style the over-sized blazer at Carbon is to layer it with a hoodie, high-waisted jeans & sneakers. Simple, cosy, yet practical.

Patterns and colours are key when it comes to executing the hoodie x blazer look, a plain sweatshirt and patterned blazer is the way to go - or you could switch it up with a high patterned hoodie and simplistic blazer.

Style Guide Three: Cinched Situation

A huge Instagram trend is taking your blazer to the next level by adding a belt. Pull in the blazer at your waist to show off your curves.

Accessories can completely transform any outfit, this is especially true of a statement belt. There are two ways we love to style the belt and blazer combo; with the belt on the waist of your trousers or skirt or over the blazer itself.

The use of an exciting belt can take your outfit to fashion levels you have not experienced before!

We love the look of a a mini skirt and blazer; especially a co-ord set.

A pair of ankle boots works perfectly to enhance elegance and a business women - esque effect.
