The blazer, much like the white button-up shirt and the grey pencil skirt, is often used only as business attire.  However, this wardrobe staple can easily dress up any outfit.  A well tailored blazer can even offer feminine curves to an otherwise shapeless ensemble.   My blazer of choice is a navy, single-button blazer with rolled sleeves.
