The slit at the back, four front buttons and buttons on the sleeves add detail to the blazer while the dark khaki colour is a nice alternative to black. Whether you balance out the masculine fit by cinching it in with a belt over a mini skirt or pair with a crop top and low rise jeans for a casual look, the easy-to-wear piece makes for an effortlessly cool cover-up.

The oversized shape of this Nasty Gal faux-leather blazer is contrasted with the belt tie, helping to create a flattering silhouette. A lack of belt loops means the jacket works just as well without the tie, with the four utilitarian-style large front pockets add detail. The caramel brown shade compliments denim nicely while the lightweight feel makes it a great transitional piece before the heavy coats come out.

Best: Budget buy

It’s impossible to go wrong with a neutral blazer like this light beige H&M piece.
