Blazer dresses come in a wide variety of styles and colors. We show how an oversized blazer can be turned into a dress this fall and make the outfit fall-ready. Influencers are already showing us the look. It’s high time that we also dared to approach the style.
The hype surrounding the dress that looks like a blazer is well known. But we’re already a step further and believe that the boyfriend’s jacket is the new hype. Because why buy an extra dress when we can easily convert the oversized blazer into a dress? We show how the new boyfriend look can be styled for autumn.

Want to scurry straight out of bed to the coffee shop on the corner? Hailey Bieber shows us the new throw-on look. She easily converts the oversized blazer into a complete look. The supermodel combines the simple, double-breasted piece with a matching black bucket hat and a bag in the same colour. Hailey shows: we can also find the jacket in our boyfriend’s closet. The model makes the walk-of-shame look suitable for street style.

But the trendy style is not just for throwing on. The trend can be styled cool with chunky boots and a wider belt. Here we can also dare to use stronger colors and pick them up again in another piece of the look.

If you want to include the blazer in your evening wear as a total look, you can opt for darker colors and a striking material. In the new spring collection, Chanel shows that the style with a tweed look will be seen more often in the future, with shoulder pads giving the look that certain something. Combined with high heels, the outfit is ready for a night out.

Because we absolutely want to wear the new boyfriend style in autumn, the one-piece is best combined with over-the-knee boots or stockings. On really cold fall days, tights can be the key to fall-ready style.
In general: To avoid a silhouetteless appearance, it is advisable to wear a belt at the waist. To be on the safe side, wear biker shorts under your oversized blazer – ideally in a color match – for a super (stylish) confident appearance.
