If I could suggest one layering option to see you through the in-between weather we’re experiencing, it would be, without a doubt, the grey blazer. Light enough to layer under a coat should you need, yet full-coverage enough to provide the right amount of warmth on sunnier days, this spring-ready layer is one of the most reached for in my wardrobe.

In a relaxed grey shade, I find this blazer style to be the most versatile of the lot. Styling well with smart blouses and tailored trousers, but looking equally chic paired with an oversized hoodie or your favourite straight leg jeans, the grey blazer offers a more relaxed take on the sophisticated silhouette that makes day-to-day styling all the more easy.

Ever on the lookout for excellent outfits that champion my favourite clothing item, below I’m rounded up four easy-to-copy looks that will make styling the blazer a breeze. Read on to discover the grey blazer trend below.

HOW INFLUENCERS ARE STYLING GREY BLAZERS THIS SEASON

1. GREY BLAZER + WHITE TEE + JEANS

Style Notes: The grey blazer, white t-shirt and straight leg jeans outfit might be my favourite style combination ever. Equal parts laid-back and elevated, the inspired combination pairs sophisticated items with street-style favourites for a balanced ensemble that looks good every time.

I’ve always been into the athleisure look. Comfort, cosiness and that effortless model-off-duty look—what’s not to love? Full disclosure: I’m someone who relishes lounging at home wrapped in soft fabrics, roomy sweatshirts and comfortable tanks, but when the time comes to step outside, I want to be a little more put-together. Lately, I’ve been inspired by pictures of celebrities like Hailey Bieber and Lori Harvey out and about in athleisure ensembles that strike the perfect balance between laid-back ease and trend-forward style.

Of all the athleisure brands that have sprung up on the market with pieces to replicate these looks, in my opinion, lululemon is still the best. It’s the brand that redefined activewear for fashion people and cemented athleisure as certified stylish everyday wear. lululemon is synonymous with performance-driven clothing that effortlessly transitions from the yoga studio to brunch and beyond. From the brand’s cult favourite Align leggings—loved for their buttery-soft fabric and figure-hugging fit—to the viral Swiftly Tech tops, which are engineered for sweat-wicking comfort, the brand has successfully carved a niche in the fashion world with its versatile, easy to wear pieces.

Trends come and go but great jewellery is forever. Able to a last lifetime (and beyond), your favourite jewels should offer you an easy way to speak to your personal style everyday. This is why I take the curation of my own jewellery collection very seriously.

Bridging these two is the growing charm jewellery trend. Peppering classic necklaces and bracelets with jovial trinkets, the charm jewellery trend offers a lighthearted way to enliven your day-to-day styling.

This year there’s a fresh shoe trend on the rise that offers all of the elegance of a classic high heel, without any of the discomfort. Loved by the celebrity style set and cropping up all over my social media feeds, of course, I’m talking about the black kitten heel trend.

Whilst the kitten heel might feel very fresh to us in 2024, the hero silhouette has been big news before. Once a go-to amongst fashion people in the 90s, by the late 2000s the elegant trend had fallen out of favour and taller heels were the ones to know. Now, after years in hibernation, the elegant—and comfortable, shoe trend is back on the agenda, and it’s never looked better.

In a dark black hue with a sleek micro heel, black kitten heels are far from boring. With an elegant and sophisticated energy that’s hard to match the trend styles naturally with a flowing dresses, but looks just as chic when worn with baggy jeans.

Cropping in high street and designer retailers, the elegant shoe trend is becoming one of the season’s most prolific.

With outfit elevating credentials that rival high heels, read on to discover our edit of the best black kitten heels to shop right now.
