A blazer dress perfectly describes what it is: a blazer worn as a dress. We’re spotting this trendy piece on city streets. Many brands are releasing their own creations—with short or long sleeves, in black, gray, or colorful designs! STYLEBOOK knows how to skillfully combine this versatile item.
A blazer dress can initially be quite a challenge. What do you wear underneath, what over it? Which footwear looks best? One thing is clear: We want to showcase the legs. Find out how to do it best here.
Overview
The Blazer Dress Creates a New Image of Femininity
The blazer only made its breakthrough for women in the 1980s. In the spirit of empowerment, with the idea that “what men wear suits us too,” designers like Thierry Mugler and Yves Saint Laurent created the first blazer dresses for women.
Today, they are worn in various seasons. Either in spring and fall with tights, or in summer with bare legs. This quickly sheds the look’s dusty business image.
Sexy with Lace Bra and Overknees
What pairs better with a blazer dress than over-the-knee boots? Since the dress usually ends mid-thigh, boots that go just over the knee match beautifully. A bit of skin remains visible, making the look perfect for bars and party nights. To make the outfit even more alluring, leave the top buttons of the blazer dress undone to reveal a lace bra. To avoid any mishaps with visible underwear, you can simply opt for classic biker shorts.
Simple Dress, Bold Shoes
A blazer dress offers a great opportunity to highlight your footwear. With the long slit at the leg and the often understated dress, you can really make a statement below. This summer, ballerinas with leopard print are stunning. Pair them with a lace bustier peeking out and shorts—unless the blazer dress is long enough.
Business Casual with Jumpsuit
If you want to wear the blazer dress to the office, choose a model that at least covers the arms. High heels are appropriate—once again, we opt for over-the-knee boots, as they pair perfectly with this piece. A jumpsuit is particularly practical to wear underneath. H&M currently offers some that are suitable for sports. We simply repurpose them and wear them covered with a long blazer in the office.

All-White, Everything!
In summer, all-white looks are perfect. The color doesn’t absorb heat as much as its counterpart. With a blazer dress, you’re set for the next garden party. With lace-up ballerinas, a white lace bra, and white panties, nothing can go wrong.
You can see that the blazer dress is versatile. On cooler days, it’s also a good idea to wear a turtleneck under this trendy piece. For the all-white outfit, that means swapping the bra for a white turtleneck! A beautifully warm, classically covered neckline and elegant look are just seconds away. An absolute taboo with the blazer dress: pants! It remains a dress, not a top.
