The boyfriend blazer trend has been in since 2008, but it didn't pick up as much as the boyfriend shirt and jeans did. This is why it is still going strong for 2010! There's not much to say about the boyfriend blazer it gives your outfits a level of sophistication with style. Also, it can be worn with anything and everything so the versatility is definitely there. For myself, working in a store that's all about basic pieces there's only two rules when wearing your boyfriend blazers!
#1: ROLL UP YOUR SLEEVES!!
This is a big rule for me because most of the time I don't like to see the sleeves not rolled. The story is that you "took" your boyfriends blazer and now your wearing it and if that was true wouldn't the sleeves be too long for you? Yes it would, so that's one reason why we roll up the sleeves. Another very important reason is because we want to show a little wrist/arm action to give this masculine trend a more feminine look!
#2: MAKE IT OVERSIZED!!
The tip here is to get a blazer that's one size bigger then what you normally buy. Since you "took" the blazer from your boyfriend it needs to be bigger to play into the story, but you must not get lost into the blazer! You wear the blazer don't let it wear you!
