A black blazer might get second-most attention after the LBD for the most needed staple in our wardrobes. But I’m saying, hold up, because white blazer can be the star of almost any outfit and today I’m going to tell you Why You Need a White Blazer in Your Closet.
Your Favorite Outfits of Mine Have Included a White Blazer
I have done a couple of posts in the last several months where I showed you how I styled a pair of high-waisted green pants and a leopard print dress multiple ways. Both times, your favorites were the ones styled with the white blazer.

This chic blazer was featured in another favorite look way back when I styled a black jumpsuit. And even though it wasn’t a “who wore it better” contest, it was again a favorite in this Style Inclusive post with my friend Angie.
Unlike a black blazer, a white one just pops with almost anything. It looks chic and cool and I could see it styled in so many ways. In fact, I don’t even own a black blazer at the moment but my trusty white boyfriend blazer has served me well. As you can see, a casual date-night outfit can be created out of jeans and a pocket tee by throwing on a blazer.
Blazer Style Tips for the Plus-Size Woman
As a curvy or plus-size woman, it is often more flattering to have a bit of structure to our clothes. The structured seams counter-balance our already soft edges. 😉 So when you want to look a bit more polished, choose a blazer or structured jacket over a sweater or cardigan.

I also like a shorter blazer as I think it adds even more polish to a curvalicious body. But there’s something so effortless and chic about a white boyfriend blazer.
So if you’re looking to add a plus-size white blazer to your wardrobe, I’ve done some searching and have come up with some that show promise and which might be tempting me big time. Like this cozy SWEATER BLAZER!
Oh, and for you, skinny ladies or those who are “sometimes” plus-size, lots of these come in misses sizes as well.

Stay comfortable and chic my curvy friends!
You might laugh that I adore a white blazer now, but many years ago I wouldn’t touch one. They reminded me too much of the white lab coats I had to wear in dental school…LOL

Oh I bet! I worked in a family practice at the time when OHSA made it mandatory for all the staff to wear lab coats over our clothes…. even the front office. So I can see that!
I have an off white corduroy blazer I wear in winter and a white denim jacket I wear in summer. I would say these are two of my most worn pieces with maybe black pants being the exception!

There’s something so fresh about white. I LOVE a white dress in summer too!
I ran across this article a couple weeks ago on Pinterest, which single-handedly put me on the search for a white blazer! I found a great deal at one of my favorite online retailers, and it’s making its way to me now. I have avoided white for the last decade as an older mom raising little people with sticky fingers. Now that they are getting a little bit bigger, I feel this is a risk worth embracing. Thanks for the inspiration for/from the 40 something crowd!

I am SO not a blazer person, but you make all those blazers look tempting to me! I think I’d opt for the boyfriend (more loose fitting, unstructured) or the shorter length blazer, if I was inclined to purchase one. I guess I’m just going to have to start looking- ha! Like I need an excuse to go shopping!! Thank you for opening my eyes to the possibilities, Paula!

I think they are a little “throwback” style. And a little more dressy than a denim jacket or something.
I don’t own any blazers but wow these white blazers look amazing on you. And so versatile! I do love my white denim jacket and have worn lots this year.

Thank you so much! I love white jackets and sweaters in general. They are all a great staple.

Love this outfit and the blazer with the green pants too. They all fit you perfectly. Enjoy August. . . .
Ran across your post and ordered a cute white blazer from Amazon of all places. Arrived today. Also got a cobalt blue (my favourite colour) one but that’s for another day. I’m fortunate to be a winter and able to wear pure white even with my grey hair. Thanks for the ideas from a fellow fluffy gal!

Thanks for stopping by, Grace! You will get so much wear out of both of those colors, but I’m partial to a white one… you’ll look SHARP. 😘
