How to wear blazers

For the longest time, I thought blazers are just for the office. But it turned out all I needed was to figure out how to wear blazers casually and follow the current trends. Then, they can easily become a stylish everyday staple. Essentially, a blazer can replace outdated leather jackets and shapeless cardigans. And you can wear them with pretty much the same things like tees, dresses and even sweatpants.
