Trick for keeping shirt sleeves rolled up neatly
Affordable Blazers: A Guide to Stylish and Budget-Friendly Options
It's Friday, and as the speaker prepares for the day, she reflects on her favourite outfit – a Reformation blazer, paired with an Everlane Organic Cotton Crew Tee, baggy jeans, and Aerie Flip Flops, similar to Roxy Vickie Flip Flops. This combination, she says, makes her feel powerful.
The speaker's affection for Reformation blazers is evident. She finds them to have an it factor that looks incredible, with crisp, sharp, and perfect tailoring, lines, and shape. However, she warns against using anything that could cut off circulation when creating the bunched-up sleeve look. Instead, she suggests using loose hair ties or stretchy headbands.
If you're looking for similar blazers but within a budget, there are several options available. Chadwicks, for instance, offers suiting separates, including blazers, priced under $45, and they come in various sizes – regular, petite, plus, and tall.
H&M is another great choice, offering both fun and classic neutral blazers, sometimes featuring eco-friendly Conscious line pieces, often under $50 if you catch sales. Express has also stepped up its workwear game, with good blazers and matching suiting options, usually affordable and suitable for interview or office wear.
For minimalist basics, J.Crew Factory and Banana Republic Factory (BR Factory) are recommended. They offer blazers with good quality for the price, often available discounted near your budget.
Other brands to consider that may have similar clean, classic cuts like Favorite Daughter include Halogen and Banana Republic. These brands focus on straightforward, well-tailored blazers suitable for capsule wardrobes or versatile everyday wear.
To find these blazers under $50, keep an eye on sales from these brands, outlet stores, or online discount retailers. While some premium or designer options like Theory or Róhe are expensive, the above brands blend quality, style, and affordability well and fit the under $50 criteria more closely.
Here's a list of affordable blazer options under $50 or near that price:
| Brand | Notes | Price Range | |-------------------|---------------------------------------------------------|-----------------| | Chadwicks | Suits separates, versatile sizing, under $45 | <$50 | | H&M | Basic and eco-friendly options, often under $50 | <$50 | | Express | Stylish workwear blazers, good quality for price | ~$50 | | J.Crew Factory | Minimalist basics, good sales | <$75 (often less)| | Halogen (Nordstrom)| Classic cuts, sales often reduce price | ~$50-$75 | | Banana Republic Factory | Reliable basics, good sales opportunities | ~$50-$75 |
The speaker also suggests the Polene Paris Umi Bag as an alternative to Mansur Gavriel Candy Bag and Mango Oval Bag, all under $50. As March begins, she expresses hope that it starts off well.
