I teach, so I sometimes have recess duty outdoors, and on those days, I simply change my outwerwear before heading outdoors. I adore blazers and other toppers, so there's no way I could go all winter without wearing them. I do have several coats that are generous fit to accommodate a blazer, but I don't usually like to buy coats that roomy because they're drafty when I don't have the layers underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2285066 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 20:00:58 +0000 LaPed 2285066@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really dislike the bulk of a blazer underneath winter coats, even relaxed/oversized ones. When I was teaching in-person, I'd just hang my blazers (I only have two) in my office in the winter and leave them there so I could throw one on when I felt like it. That way I could wear whatever parka suited the weather without worrying about layer-ability.&nbsp;</p> <p>In transitional weather, I treat blazers as an outer layer, and run cold enough that I'm usually happy to keep my outer layer on indoors! I also have a very lightweight oversized anorak that layers over pretty much anything and does okay in light rain. In a milder climate, a wool blazer plus a lightweight wind/rain layer would be useful 3/4 of the year. In New England, it's definitely just a fall/spring set-up.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2285019 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 15:02:22 +0000 Tanya 2285019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have some loose fitting coats, that work over blazers.&nbsp; It is usually the matter of getting the shoulder fit right.&nbsp; Alternatively, when it is cold but not too cold, i use blazers like outerwear and wear them over warmer sweaters. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2285016 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 15:01:31 +0000 Angie 2285016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Lesley,</b> exactly what <b>kkards,</b>&nbsp;<b>approprio, cat2 </b>and<b> Dee</b>&nbsp;said.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2285013 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 14:55:32 +0000 Roberta 2285013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Like StyleFan, I have a raglan-sleeved, slightly oversized winter coat that is perfect over a blazer or a chunky sweater. The cut of the sleeve makes all the difference. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2284987 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 12:04:51 +0000 Janet 2284987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I either layer underneath the blazer and treat it as a kind of outerwear piece or if it’s truly cold, I have a coat from Madewell from a few years ago that is sufficiently roomy to wear pretty much any jacket underneath. It has wide arms so accommodates bulky sweaters or even oversized vests or jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2284947 Sat, 08 Oct 2022 00:00:17 +0000 cat2 2284947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I buy my overcoats by trying them on over blazers and bulky sweaters so they fit. It can mean going up a size. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2284936 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 23:04:33 +0000 The Cat 2284936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kkards said. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2284935 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 23:04:19 +0000 Dee 2284935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you’re looking for an overcoat to wear over the blazer, my suggestion would be to search for something that has a silky type of lining inside it, that way the overcoat can glide easily over your blazer and it wont bunch you up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2284927 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 22:18:27 +0000 Style Fan 2284927@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A coat like the Slouch from Aritizia works with blazers.&nbsp; It is also warm.&nbsp; Forum member Gryffin bought it last year.<br />When I was working, I had an oversized coat that worked with blazers.&nbsp; The other option was to take the blazer with me and put it on when I got to work.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2284925 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 22:11:14 +0000 LJP 2284925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is precisely why I rarely wear a blazer in the winter . I cannot deal with all that fabric , collars , layers , sleeves -UGH ! Blazers are a 2 season piece for me - although if I worked in an industry where I wanted to wear one everyday I’d have an oversized coat for that purpose . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2284920 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 21:54:37 +0000 approprio 2284920@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sleeveless coats, wraps, ponchos, quilted vests, oversized shells. Keep layering options in mind when buying the blazers in the first place. You can always layer underneath them too. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2284908 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 20:52:32 +0000 kkards 2284908@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not Angie, but I don’t have this issue, mostly because I generally buy my outerwear with the intention of wearing multiple layers underneath. So if the arms especially are tight it’s a hard pass. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-how-do-you-wear-a-blazer-on-a-cold-day#post-2284907 Fri, 07 Oct 2022 20:45:57 +0000 Lesley 2284907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inspired by Janet's marble blazer look to remember that I have some blazers I love in my closet! But the one thing that always annoys me when I wear them—when I'm getting to and from my event in the winter, they feel pretty horrible under any kind of coat. Am I missing some trick, or do we just suffer through the transit and look amazing when we arrive and finally take off our coats? </p>
