It's no wonder why some women gave blazers the cold shoulder
for a good decade. After all, no one's looking to get mistaken for a
linebacker, and traumatic memories of our collective penchant for power suits
during the '80s and early '90s were enough to lead many to a closet purge. Yet
in recent years, the blazer has worked its way back to wardrobe-staple status -
sans shoulder pads, of course. And lucky for us, blazers no longer have to be
as boring as the staid black suit jacket you likely wore to all those
fresh-from-college job interviews. Here are a few favorites chic enough to make
us shelve our comfiest cardigans and hoodies.
