A well-kept secret of fashion editors everywhere is to always opt for oversized when it comes to tailoring. Blazers are no exception and can, in fact, elevate a very simple outfit to new heights. Sophie Henderson, Grazia's senior fashion market editor, explains why she has come to depend on them in her own wardrobe...
Sophie Henderson, senior fashion market editor
'To say I like blazers is an understatement. Almost a third of my wardrobe is dedicated to well-worn versions, from single breasted to statement, with a range of price tags. My most-worn are a linen-blend men’s blazer from M&S and this collarless version from Zara. Both have something in common: they’re neutral. When buying tailoring from the high street, a classic colour palette and an oversized silhouette can make something look instantly more expensive.'
