News flash: Your little black dress isn't the MVP of your wardrobe—a black blazer is. This polished piece always performs and works for most occasions.

As one-half of a suit, pair the collared jacket with its coordinating pant or skirt for more formal settings. For business casual, wear it with a pretty blouse and jeans, or try it for the evening as a topper to a silky dress. You can even throw it over a vintage tee and leggings for an off-duty ensemble. Don’t limit the blazer to your work heels and pumps either; fresh sneakers add some levity and complement it just as nicely.

As for silhouettes, the options are vast. There’s classic and structured. Looser, oversize designs adapt that borrowed-from-the-boys vibe, while unique details like open backs and tie-waists stand out from the pack. Take seasonality into consideration when selecting fabric. Wool and knit will keep you warmer in the fall, while lighter materials such as linen may be more appropriate as the temperatures rise. When it comes to fit, be sure to note any pulling at the waist, chest, or shoulders when the jacket is buttoned—size up if this is the case.

The takeaway? A black blazer elevates almost anything. And with so many offerings, we wouldn’t blame you if you owned a few different iterations. Let us convince you with our all-star lineup of the best black women's blazers for all body types, from bargain buys to investment-worthy pieces.
