Texture is sure to be huge this fall, we love seeing this trend incorporated into the structure of a blazer but thrown over lightweight separates.

As much as we’re bummed to be packing away our jean shorts and crop tops, we’re even more excited to be unpacking some of our fall essentials, especially a favorite: blazers. What once was reserved for power suits and board rooms is now a great item to incorporate into outfits featuring prints, patterns and other experimentation.

Deep saturated tones like oxblood and wine hues, as well as very bold hues like cobalt,  look especially elegant as the weather turns cooler. Obviously, we’re eager to start sporting these bad boys circa now (the AC is freezing!) and they also look especially cute worn with a basic tank and high-waisted shorts.

Since fall shopping is calling our name – and we’re guessing yours, too – we compiled a list of affordable and ultra-cool blazers so you can snap up without going bankrupt.
