With the fall season quickly approaching and the weather starting to cool down, it’s time to start prepping our wardrobes for the inevitable wardrobe shift that comes with the changing season. This fall, rather than opting for your regular 9 to 5 blazer, why not try a fashion-forward oversized blazer instead? Oversized blazers dominated the F/W 2017 runways by various designers and they just so happen to be perfect for the office. Here are five oversized blazers that you can rock in any office this fall season.
Millennial Pink
Blazers with colour tend to stand out at the office, but for all the right reasons. If you’re not afraid to rock a playful hue, we’re loving this silky paisley print blazer as it’s unlike anything we’ve seen before. It’s oversized yet lightweight and will do wonders for your fall wardrobe.

Grey Matters
This classic checked pattern has been an office favourite for years, but we haven’t quite seen anything like this one before. This blazer is both sophisticated and professional, while the oversized feature puts a modern twist on the classic structured blazer. The subtle shoulder pads also give it a edgy ’90s vibe while still looking modern.

Mint Wonders
If pink isn’t your thing and you still want to experiment with colour, this mint number from Mango is just what you need. The colour is not only amazing and can be worn year-round, but it’ll also look amazing with a pair of black cropped dress pants.

Fall Florals
One of this season’s biggest trends is florals, and in our minds, there’s no better way to incorporate this print into your wardrobe than with a chic blazer. We love this emerald print from Zara, especially for its silky material as it’ll help you instantly elevate your look and have you standing out at the office for all the right reasons.

Statement Stripes
Double breasted blazers and jackets might be a thing of the past but they are emerging into fashion with a variety of cuts and prints and we couldn’t be more thrilled. This double breasted pinstripe blazer is great for the office because it can be styled with a variety of pieces. The thick material is great for the colder days as well.
