Suit up ladies!

The idea behind this is like you've just stolen your boyfriends blazer.
It's a little to big on your body but the arms fit you well.
The lapel is thinker and longer..
Pockets are bigger
The body of the blazer is cut in a A-line patten,
the hem should fall on your upper thigh.
and the first button should sit on your hips or belly-button.
Boyfriend blazers work best while open-keep this in mind when sizing.
The boyfriend is great for expression, and playful outfits,
So don't be afraid to get one in bold colours,pattens or studded.
Busy tops also work well with a neutral boyfriend.
(oh i said a mouthful there! lmao)
It's also great for dressing down a dress you previously would have only worn out,
and dressing-up but still keeping casual a nice pair of jeans.

Tip:: make sure the arms fit you well!
If they don't you'll look like you've been swallowed. 
 :: If your short-this blazer isn't a good idea.
Smaller lapel & pockets. 
Shorter body,
Tapered waist. 
The First button should sit on your waist or belly button.
Ladies blazers are a great way to dress up jeans & skirts...
Generally,even if they have no detailing a plain top works best.
Dont be afraid of decorative hems (as shown above on figure);
they add a great simple detail that can easily enhance your outfit.

Tip:: the higher then hem..the shorter your going to look.
let me explain- Annything higher then your hips is a crop jacket. 
and will cut you off...like the shoes i was talking about in the last post 
and if you're worried about your height-this is not what you want.
:: No matter what your hem on a ladies blazer it should fall between 
your waist and just below your hips.
example::  

I hope this helps ladies.
which ones your blazer of choice? =]
