can you wear a blazer w/ a coat?
Permalink Closed

if you are wearing a blazer as part of an outfit (for example, blazer w/ cami under it -- so you wouldn't take the blazer off when indoors), would you wear another coat over it when you're outside?


i am never sure about this, so i end up giving up on the blazer/cami thing once it gets cold enough out that you need a coat.  i have shyed away from the double coat thing -- just wondering if you all are okay with it or not.

I always wear a coat over my blazer/cami outfits in the winter.  If it is mid-late spring - early fall, I don't wear a coat over my blazer b/c the blazer is usually warm enough on its own.  I wouldn't, however, wear a very fitted or cropped coat over a blazer - not different enough to make sense.

sure you can as long as it's not really visible, which might look weird.
however, i usually find it too constricting so i don't do it very often.

This is a good question.  It's just getting to be that time of yr when a blazer is not warm enough.  I have worn my winter coat over a blazer, but like LMonet, said it has to be different enough....which is totally vague and I'm not even sure *I* know what I mean.

okay.  i was thinking about this after i posted and realized that when people wear suits they wear coats over them, so it has to be fine. 


i know what you mean about the overcoat being different enough -- i would probably wear my long coat over a fitted blazer, which would be fine.  (it would look weird to see a blazer sticking out from under an overcoat.)

I live in Chicago and I definitely have to wear a coat over my blazer. It does feel a bit snug, but I'd rather be warm than freeze.
