There’s much we have to thank the humble blazer for. No longer is the outerwear-turned-officewear staple cookie-cutter “business” or stuffy. The latest generation has proven the classic blazer versatile, polished and even airport-ready.
Some of the best blazers we found are from Amazon, Lulus, and Nordstrom. But, we found some gorgeous plaid button blazers from Amazon (yay for affordable and Prime-eligible!) and some stepped-up splurges from Saks Fifth Avenue and Revolve.
Whether you want to channel Olivia Pope from “Scandal” or are seeking for a tried-and-true piece to layer on top of your favorite work dresses, there’s nothing quite like a blazer to finish off an outfit.
Furthermore, any blazer will pair nicely with the best bodysuits, easy-breezy linen dresses, waist-hugging paper bag pants, polished nude heels, and trusty work totes, too — especially if you’re into the whole seamless, tucked-in, professional look.
To make your shopping spree easier, purchase one (or more) of the top blazers below. We included sizing and fit options with each find, if applicable, to help you score the best blazer to wear for trekking to the office (or, wherever you’re headed).

Best Women’s Blazer Overall
1. Cicy Bell Open-Front Blazer
- Size options: XS-XXL
With more than 26,000 glistening reviews, this blazer is an Amazon best-seller and one we vow to be the best overall. Not only is it traditionally styled and ultra-chic but it comes in a rainbow of shades (neutral and colorful alike), is fairly priced and is versatile to style (especially with a great work tote).
Best Women’s Blazers for Petties
1. Madewell The Rosedale Blazer
- Size options: 00 to 16
For whatever you have going on, a solid blazer will make you look polished and put together. Madewell has this beautifully made, relaxed-fit blazer that’ll pair well with your favorite pair of paper bag pants or whatever bottom you desire. Plus, it’s a best-seller.
Even better, it’s fit for both petite and plus sizes — but the fact that Madewell is conscientious to smaller frames is something that’s hard to come by, and something we appreciate.
2. Belle & Bloom Princess Polina Tweed Blazer
- Size options: S-XL
OK, if we had to guess, Kate Middleton would sport the Belle & Bloom Princess Polina Tweed Blazer. Its feminine-leaning, closely fitted silhouette is one that looks regal and polished — the ideal layering piece for corporate meetings and evening date nights. Check yes, Juliet.
Because of its more fitted nature, it looks incredible on a more petite frame, though the brand has a size range up to XL to choose from. Its close-to-the-body fit will never go out of style, either.
3. LOFT Emory Long Modern Petite Blazer
- Size options: 00 to 22
Though the LOFT Emory Long Modern Petite Blazer runs in both petite and regular sizing, we are colored impressed — literally — by how top-quality and flattering its petite sizing is on smaller frames. This blazer, in particular, is one of our favorites and checks off multiple boxes, too: it’s colorful, has a slightly oversized look and looks dynamite with jeans. Check, check and check.
Best Women’s Blazers for Plus Sizes
1. Princess Polly Mrs. Nancy Beige Curve Blazer
- Size options: 14 to 20
Princess Polly has a wonderful Curve line we’re all obsessed with, and its Mrs. Nancy Blazer Beige Curve Blazer is no exception. Its relaxed fit hugs exactly where you want it to (no ifs, ands or buts) and has that plaid print and lapel collar we always look for. Not to mention, it’s wonderful quality without costing you more than $80.

M.M.LaFleur is one of our favorite high-end brands for workwear, notably for its years-lasting blazers. That said, the gorgeous Yiyan Blazer is surely one that’s worth your investment.
We’re applauding the brand for its generous size range, along with its tailored fit that looks great on any body size. Made from breathable wool twill, its signature knit will keep you comfortable and gracing your day with ease.
3. Bar III Plus Size Textured Crepe Faux-Double-Breasted Blazer
- Size options: 1X-3X

Splurge on a delectable cream blazer from Saks Fifth Avenue this season. The fine texture, lovely match-all color and ability to style in various ways render it shopping-worthy. Though a splurge, its vanilla aesthetic and decadent detailing is making us add it to our wishlists as we type.
Not to mention, we’re all about mixing formal with casual. With a solid pair of straight-leg jeans, you’ll be the talk of the town (in the best way possible).
4. Grapent Open-Front Blazer
- Size options: S-XXL
We’re all ready to wear the Grapent Open-Front Blazer this fall. Not only does it have a rich pattern, but it’s just too cute to style with jeans for apple picking, city walking and virtually everything else. For a dainty touch, its button accents add even more of a put-together look to the ensemble (and just look how good it looks with jeans!)
Best Cropped Women’s Blazers

Stun the masses with the EXPRESS One Button Cropped Blazer. This regal-looking royal blue is a gorgeous take on the cookie-cutter neutrals, and its cropped flair is giving us all the professional and put-together vibes we can muster.
