I Tried On 100s of High-Street Blazers—These 10 Spring Styles Stood Out

@ESGSTYLE FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: I absolutely loved this blazer from Arket. The blue was so vivid and I think it would look perfect paired with some light wash jeans and a white vest. I decided to style this one with some beige suit trousers and a dark brown sweater.

@ESGSTYLE FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: Traditionally I'm a houndstooth only blazer kinda girl, so when it comes to beige blazers, I'm never truly sold...Until now. I love how chic this muted colour way is as well as the front pocket detail. To make it less corporate, I added a little pop of colour with a red tank top underneath and love how it turned out!

@ESGSTYLE FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: This pink blazer had me totally sold. I tried on the matching suit trousers but think it might have been just *a little* too much. The fit of this blazer was total perfection, the slight padding on the shoulders meant it sat perfectly and I didn't feel as though it was too oversized.

@ESGSTYLE FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: So I really didn't expect to love this piece as much as I did. Orange isn't usually my go to colour, but I thought I'd step out my comfort zone, and I'm so glad I did. Jewel coloured blazers are dominating the high street at the moment, and what makes this one so special is the fit. The asymmetric fit is so flattering and I really love the lapels on this style, too.

@ESGSTYLE FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: I saw variations of these blazers all over the high street. Initially, I styled this up with a pair of black trousers and nothing under, which looked super chic for a night out. Then I decided to make it look a little bit more me, so II layered it over a graphic, brighter jumper & paired it with some straight leg denim jeans. I love how structural this one is and if it's got shoulder pads count me in.

@ESGSTYLE FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: I'm not exaggerating when I tell you, people were bee-lining for this blazer. The blue houndstooth makes it the perfect transitional piece moving into Spring. I decided to layer mine over a classic black roll neck & some leggings to create a put-together but not hugely complex look.

@ESGSTYLE FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: Of all the blazers tried on in the name of 'research' this was the one I fell for the most. I'm not entirely sure if it was the matching suit trousers that sold it to me, but I'm obsessing over both the colour and the fit. This one was generally slightly larger than the others I'd tried (so possibly a bit of a #manrepeller) but I felt so chic in it. That being said, to all my fellow petite girls- If you're opting for the full look, the trousers will likely need to be hemmed!

@ESGSTYLE FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: This blazer gave me serious *that* Raey Blazer Vibes. I think the belt detail on this one was really cool, it cinched me in at the waist and was super flattering. It also adds a little more to your classic black blazer, and means it can easily be dressed up or dressed down on occasion. Dare I say you could also probably opt to wear this one as a dress? If you're not feeling brave enough, throw on over a short black mini skirt and you're good to go.

@ESGSTYLE FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: This cropped gingham blazer was giving me Meredith Blake energy, and I am so here for that. Not so keen on a cropped style? No problem, layer a longer length t-shirt or cardigan of choice underneath to create an effortless finish.
PS: This one probably takes the cake as my favourite blazer of the bunch. I'm seriously debating whether I need this & the matching mini skirt imminently...

@ESGSTYLE FOR WHO WHAT WEAR UKStyle Notes: This blazer is absolute perfection, and I know I'll get so much wear out of it as we head into the summer months. I can picture layering this over a gorgeous summer dress & some basic white trainers. The tie detail (removable if you'd like!) helps cinch me in at the waist, which makes it a super flattering choice too. It is on the high-end side of the high street, but if you're looking for an investment that still feels reasonable compared to designer styles, it is worth it.
