How to Style a Blazer Dress

how to style a blazer dress

The blazer dress has long been an iconic but underutilized piece in our wardrobes.

The LBBD — aka the little black blazer dress — can be worn so many ways, you just need to know how to style it.

Today, we’ll be styling the Heiress Beverly Hills Blazer Dress. And since most people don’t have an unlimited wardrobe (unless you’re Kylie Jenner), we’ll be sticking with just 13 items to show how swapping out different accessories can create a whole new look.

Our closet includes (from top left): Heiress Beverly Hills Blazer Dress, Heiress Beverly Hills Scoop Neck Top, Heiress Beverly Hills Tailored Pants, Heiress Beverly Hills Contour Pants, Petal & Pup Enza Mules, Petal & Pup Adele Heels, Petal & Pup Kolby Heels, Petal & Pup Kimberly Necklace, Petal & Pup Paola Earrings, Akira In the Link Bracelet, Très Gelée Chérie Bag, Akira Love You Like a Love Song Purse, and an Akira Take a Pic Oversized Slouch Tote
