If I Spot You Wearing This Chic Blazer Trend Instead of a Traditional One, I’ll Know You’re a Fashion Person

I have had an affinity for blazers since I was a teen. As I entered college, the oversized fit became popular for throwing over graphic T-shirts, and I participated in that trend too. Fast forward to the present and a new trend has entered the chat. And it’s one that I’ve never leaned into more than now: collarless blazers.

Honestly, any blazer is a stylish one in my book, but the collarless trend was brought to my attention recently when actress Grace Van Patten stepped out in NYC this week. Her striped navy collarless blazer and matching mini skirt, paired with sleek black pointed-toe shoes, is a look that lives rent-free in my mind. The minimal accessories and just a black clutch (a soon-to-be-released Old Navy style, I might add) were the simple touches the outfit needed to look even more elevated.
