Essential in our wardrobes, the plaid blazer had its moment in 2017 when it was seen everywhere, on the runways and on our Instagram feeds. While we thought it was going to be a temporary piece, this blazer proved us wrong and is now the ultimate go-to for both casual and formal looks.

This incredibly versatile staple is one of the best transitional pieces from summer to fall and vice versa, and is definitely capable of taking your look from day to night in second.

Whether you’re opting for a formal, effortless chic or extra casual look, your favorite influencers rocked plaid blazer outfits, and are ready to inspire you with different styles.

The blazer doesn’t always have to be linked to elegant and classy looks, especially when it’s the oversized version, so teaming it with a pair of sneakers is definitely as trendy and beautiful. We spotted American model Kaia Gerber in a white shirt under a big plaid blazer, paired with flared jeans and white sneakers.

Vanessa Hong, podcast host and influencer also served a casual chic look. She paired her plaid grey-ish blazer with some red stripes, with a full black look, and glittery Chanel boots to accentuate the look.

Denim pants with a plaid blazer never go out of style and are always a good idea, whether styled with square-toe sandals à la Hailey Bieber, or with a full black outfit and teamed with a pair of classic nude stilettoes, just like in Amy Jackson, the British fashion blogger.

We have selected a few blazers to rock your transitional looks so keep scrolling to shop the plaid blazer in different colors and cuts.
