Living in New York City, I observe a lot of fashion trends that come and go quickly. Blazers, I predict are here to stay for quite a while. I am thrilled roaming down Broadway and 5th Avenue and seeing the incredible array of blazers worn by New York Fashionable women.
Why this hot new item is so lovable?
1) There are endless styles and variations on the classic blazer.
2) The blazer is CLASSIC fashion. It may not always be the HOT item, but it will never be out of style.
3) Blazers are for every season. In the fall add a scarf and your Blazer acts as your jacket. In the winter, throw a warm down coat or a pea coat over it, no problem! In the spring, adding a blazer over a tank top and skirt makes the outfit dynamite! And in the summer, we still have to deal with the blasting AC at the movie theaters, subways, work, etc. and carrying a blazer with you makes you look much classier than if you were to carry a sweatshirt!
4) It is a super simple way to dress up a casual outfit. Jeans, a cheap tee and flip flops... comfortable as can be, right? Throw on a blazer and perhaps a great necklace and you look like a million bucks!

If you are interested in adding a new blazer to your wardrobe, here are a few personal favorites:
I own this Blazer from Banana Republic. I love it! It was one of the best purchases I've made in some time. I wear it with a solid color bright tank top underneath (such as turqoise or coral), a pair of dark denim blue jeans and black heels.
There are two reasons I love this blazer so much. First, is the casual color which makes a dressy style an everyday item. Second is the length, it's just long enough for those days when I'm not feeling "skinny", because it hides the waist line flawlessly.

The Gap describes this blazer as "the shrunken schoolboy" look. It is shorter in length, allowing a bit more versatility in the type of pant or skirt it can be comfortably worn with. The dark blue color, contrasting lining and breast pocket make this fashion look complete!

This "Boyfriend Blazer" from Bloomingdale's is pure classic fashion. This piece will never be out of style. It is black, so it can be worn with anything, and the cut and length are flattering for almost any body type.

FASHION TIP EXTRA: Notice how ALL of the blazers in all of these images are worn (every style, and color). Do you see it? The way to be as fashionable as possible with your blazer this season is to roll up the sleeves to about 3/4 length and expose the lining! It makes you appear cool and casual but totally collected in your classic blazer look.
