When we talk about staple wardrobe pieces, jeans and LBDs seem to get all the attention—but don’t for one second forget about the classic black blazer. If the idea of a simple suit jacket bores you, I’ve made it my mission to change your mind by the end of this roundup. Few clothing pieces can be worn both in a formal, professional setting and at the club (take that, denim!), but the black blazer? You absolutely can and should wear it for any and every occasion.
Whether you’re looking to build a closet of staples, put together a cute spring office outfit, prepare for a job interview, or find a trendy jacket or stylish set, a black blazer is def the way to go. As far as silhouettes and cuts, you’ve got your standard suit jacket, shrunken blazers, oversized fits, cropped jackets—the list goes on. The point I’m trying to make is that blazers are extremely versatile, and no two look the same. Even if you already own a black blazer, I’m certain there’s a new style (or two) worth adding to your collection.
To show you what I mean, I’ve rounded up 22 best black blazers—all unique and absolutely gorg—that will change your mind about the “boring” black blazer. Get to scrolling so you can get to shopping.

6
this cropped tweed blazer
Becka Crop Blazer
Usually, a blazer that features tweed fabric, faux pearl buttons, button cuffs, and padded shoulders sounds like something your grandma would wear, but this tiny cropped version is much more modern than that (no offense, Nana).

With lapels in both the front and in the back, this fitted blazer is perfect for the creative who wants to look professional but also unique.

this black blazer mini dress

Looks like a blazer but fits like a dress, the blazer dress is a cool alternative to the skirt suit. This double-breasted blazer can be worn as a dress when button up or worn open like a long-line blazer.
11
this blazer for layering
Bobbi Blazer
Unlike a traditional, fitted blazer, an oversized jacket has plenty of room for layering underneath during colder months but can be worn with a bra top (or no top?!) for a night out in the summer.

Women’s Plus-Size Long Boyfriend Blazer
A long-line blazer like this one worn open goes perfectly with a pair of jeans for a free-and-easy feel or dress pants or trousers for the office.

Ignore all the rules that say the shoulder seam should hit perfectly at the edge of your shoulder. See how cool an oversized fit can look?! The looseness of this blazer feels intentional and not at all droopy.
14
this drapey blazer
The Easy Blazer – Black
This casual-yet-classic jacket has all the markings of a blazer (lapel, button closures, and flap pockets) but it also features an unstructured shape with the relaxed feel of a cardigan.
15
this corset blazer
Black Corset Woven Blazer
This statement blazer feels more like a top than a blazer you would layer over one. And with a cool corset waist and metal hook closures, this top is one you definitely would not want to cover up.
16
this shrunken blazer
Women’s Two Button Lux Blazer
On the more fitted side of things, you have this blazer. If you prefer a slimmer fit, go with this snug blazer jacket.
17
this double-breasted blazer
Double Breasted Blazer
Add a little interest to your basic black blazer with two rows of buttons. This double-breasted blazer can feel a little more formal when you need it to, but you can also scrunch up the sleeves if you want to dress it down a bit.
18
this relaxed-fit blazer
Boyfriend Flannel Blazer
A black blazer is something you know you’re going to get a lot of use out of, so it makes for the perfect investment piece. This one is made of Italian wool flannel and has a relaxed fit that makes it easy to throw on over any outfit.

20
this blazer wrap dress
Long Sleeve Fringe Blazer Dress
If you were to merge a suit jacket with a wrap dress, it’d look something like this LBD. Instead of buttoning in the front the way blazers traditionally do, this one crosses and ties at the side with a fringed sash—perfect if you want a more adjustable fit.
21
this belted blazer
Ivy Belted Blazer
This is the blazer to reach for when you really want to cinch that waist. This two-button blazer can be worn with or without the detachable belt. Click through to see the supes-cute ruffle in the back, too.
