Leave the little black blazer to winter fetes and NYE, because there’s a new office-wear essential<\/a> in the mix. It’s the check blazer, and every fashion lover needs one. In beige hues checked with red and brown, or grey tones gridlocked in black, this fresh take on menswear trends adds an all-new tailored look to your standard fare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Much like the trusty camel coat, the checked blazer is a new neutral to be worn with all of your old favorites. It’s a multi-tasker, for sure. Slip it on when the puffer feels too sporty, but the trench feels too polished and predictable. Wear it to dress up your denim, balance out your thigh-high boots<\/a> or add sophistication to even your most flirty dresses and skirts. It’s the ideal layer for day-to-night looks and it works with prints, patents, and of course, your plainer pieces too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Even better, check blazers are easy to find at a huge range of price points. So let’s break down some essential benefits of the top contenders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top picks: Check blazers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With all the trimmings<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Check
Free People Velvet Trim Plaid Blazer, $168, Macy’s\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For an extra dash of personality, look for options with decadent details. Satin or velvet<\/a> lapels up your game immediately and will have you standing out amongst the plaid in-crowd. Bonus: Who doesn’t like feeling fancy?!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Basic & brilliant<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Check
Sarah Check Blazer Coat, $28, Boohoo<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Prefer pops of color left to your other items? Go for the checks in basic black and beige and let an unexpected pairing do the talking. The classic combination up top means you can \u2014 and should \u2014 wear it with everything, even cherry tomato minis.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fit for layering<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Check
Women’s Plaid Boyfriend Blazer, $25, Target<\/use><\/svg><\/span><\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

For that just-tossed-on, snatched-it-from-your-guy’s-closet styling, scoop up the checks in a less tailored boyfriend silhouette. A little roomier is all the better for serious scarf action and layering up on cold winter mornings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tweaks on the trend<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
\"Blue
Tailored Belted Blazer in Blue Check, $87, ASOS<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

And for the most subtle tweak on the definitive trend, look out for bolder liners, contrasting buttons and other details that make an It-item all your own. Here, the elbow-to-wrist buttons and a trench-like belt liven things up without losing the blazer’s conservative, work-friendly appeal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
