They have been around for a long time: blazer dresses in all kinds of variations and colors. We’ll show you how an oversized blazer can be turned into a dress this autumn and make the outfit ready for autumn. Influencers: inside show us the look. It’s high time we dare to try the style too.
The hype surrounding the dress that looks like a blazer is well known. But we are already one 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.

But the trendy style is not only available as a casual throw. 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 in another piece of the look.

If you want to take the blazer into your evening wear as a total look, you can rely on darker colors and a striking material. In the new spring collection, Chanel shows that the style in the 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 definitely 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 autumn days, tights can be the key to autumn-ready style.
In general: To avoid a silhouette without a silhouette, 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.
