Lifestyle blog dreaming loud sharing style tips on how to wear boyfriend plaid blazer in 10 ways - 10 Ways to Wear a Plaid Blazer featured by popular Ohio modest fashion blogger, Dreaming Loud

Oversized plaid blazer was the biggest fall trend last year (I’m still not used to calling 2017 last year) and I am obsessed with them ever since. I scored this plaid blazer from target for under $30 and was wearing it non stop ever since. Here are 10 ways I wore it so far. Mind you I might come back with another list because I am all about re-wearing pieces this year. It’s one of my 2018 goals.

Unfortunately, the blazer is sold out but I have linked plenty of options in the slider below

10 Cute Ways To Style Your Plaid Blazer

    You styled this blazer awesomely! I love wearing blazers and hate how some people think that they’re “manly” or just can’t be styled. You really proof that this isn’t the case and blazers are for everyone. Nice job!

    I know this blazer! In fact, my mom bought the same one last year at Target. She’s worn it in some of the same ways you have, but I think my favorite is with a pencil skirt. Plus, the grey is wonderful because it goes with pretty much anything. x

    Great looks and beautiful photos, I especially liked the skinny jeans option, i supposed as long as you buy a Oversize plaid blazer of your own and not really using your boyfriend one, you’ll do fine.
