There’s a certain item of clothing we’re seeing all over our social media feeds at the moment: the humble blazer.
Specifically, we can’t seem to avoid this structured, woollen blazer in an oversized boyfriend fit with button cuffs and front pockets that seems to go with absolutely everything. We’ve seen it styled with baggy cargo pants, cropped jeans and tailored suit trousers.

And unsurprisingly, it’s by everyone’s favourite high street store, & Other Stories, who seem to just get it right every single time, translating the trends from the catwalk into easy-to-wear, effortless wardrobe staples. This time is no different.
The & Other Stories Wool Blend Oversized Blazer, £165, was a big hit with fashion editors and influencers last season. But this year, we’ve been treated to a whole new host of colourways, including a muted pale green, a rich navy, a camel brown, and a real jet black.
Our favourite, though, is the original light beige hue. We’ll be wearing it this spring with our favourite boot cut jeans, a plain white tee and some box-fresh trainers, but it would also look great over a floral midi dress and some chunky boots. Or why not start stocking up on your spring/ summer dresses, and take inspiration from our fashion editor’s pick of the top trends at fashion week? We think the & Other Stories green blazer would be a great contrast with this season’s surge in bright-pink dresses, while its boxy silhouette would add structure to the new wave of puffball hems.
You better be quick though, as last time we checked the blazer was already sold out in three colours, with dwindling stock in others. Don’t worry if your preferred colour or size is sold out though, & Other Stories have tons of great blazers in stock.
