Suit up: How to rock a blazer like Kim Kardashian and Rihanna

A trend that emerged from the New York Fashion Week is of the statement blazer. Celebs like Kim Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Rihanna are all experimenting with it. Here’s how to wear it well.

New York Fashion Week has raised the bar for street style, but amidst all the fashion chaos, a star piece has emerged: the statement blazer. Bold, mannish jackets have been on our radar ever since Rihanna donned an outsized one to meet the First Lady of France, Brigitte Macron, to discuss her global education initiative back in July. The statement shoulders and long sleeves of RiRi’s blazer put a playful twist on business dressing, and, it seems, set the tone for fall dressing.

Since then, supermodel Kendall Jenner has been spotted working the oversized blazer as her new go-to piece for that off-duty model look, as well as donning a mannish, too-big tweed coat in a nod to the look, a move followed by Selena Gomez.

But while Jenner has teamed her tailoring with jeans and sweaters, big sister Kim Kardashian has taken things to the other extreme, wearing the piece on its own as a dress (coincidentally, also a look that Rihanna has sported during New York Fashion Week).
