Let’s talk about the eternally classic BLAZER!! The possibilities for hair styles are endless when you’re sporting a blazer. You can do just about anything, but– the deciding factor will usually be how you style + accessorize your blazer. Above are a few good examples.

• Hair down- If you’re headed into a meeting, to the office or off to school, you can never go wrong with wearing your hair down. Loose waves or pin straight, down is a safe bet.
• Loose, low bun or pony- so simple and fast! Just throw your “slept on texture” into a low bun or loose pony. Take the hairs that fall out around your face and give them a little help with a large curling iron. Maybe even make a tiny braid with one piece and bobby pin it back into the bun or pony. It makes it look like you tried when really it took under 5 minutes. Such a cute casual collegiate vibe!
• Top knot- If you’re wearing a statement blazer (with shoulder pads, sequined, or heavy embellishments) let it do all the work! Pull your hair up, up, up. Try a top knot. Smooth or messy. Either way, that puts the focus on the blazer!
• Sleek + chic- This can be a very powerful look. It just looks like this girl has got it together! We would wear this hair with a blazer if we were doing a presentation, going for an interview, or heading to a very stylish party.
