Everyone’s aware of one of the key wardrobe essentials for women – The LBD (little black dress), however the LBB (little black blazer) is in fact just as useful and essential to have in every wardrobe.
Versatile in its pairing, and has certainly proven to be a timeless classic wardrobe essential for both sexes.
The LBB
Black being the colour of ALL seasons, the LBB can be paired with anything & everything – the options are limitless.
If you’re wearing your LBB in a one dimensional way, our UAE stylists are here to show you how you can be creative and style this wardrobe staple in a modern, classic and sophisticated way, with minimal effort!
We gave our stylists this black blazer and asked them to style it their way…
Go Mono with Maria
How I Style
One can never go wrong with a classic monochrome palette. This pairing is bold, chic & timeless, and Maria has further amplified the look by defining the waistline with the addition of a belt, and by adding pops of colour around the collar.
Black can sometimes look harsh close to the face and the simple addition of a colourful silk scarf can ‘lift’ the blazer.
Teaming a formal black blazer with an all-white look is timeless and ageless. It’s a look that’s impactful and easy to wear whatever your body shape and style personality.
Day to Night with Ayesha
Day to Night dressing made simpler. With the minor addition of a LBB to this beautiful electric blue cocktail dress from Zara, Ayesha has managed to create a more ‘work appropriate’ outfit for the day. This can easily be transformed into an elegant look for a night out – simply take off the jacket and add-on a touch of sparkle around your neck or ears.
People often have a lot of evening dresses in their wardrobes that they wouldn’t dream of wearing during the day, however the addition of a black blazer can make all of those evening dresses a lot more wearable”
If you haven’t got a black blazer in your wardrobe, we highly recommend investing in one. Fit is everything when it comes to a classic wardrobe staple like this and making sure it’s the right cut for you is essential.
Go Chic with Anara
Anara shows us how you can achieve a bold, sophisticated look by dressing head to toe in one colour.
Wearing the LBB just over your shoulders giving you freedom of movement, and adding a touch of sparkle on your ears with some colourful statement earrings along with some bling footwear (it’s all about the DETAILS!)
Styling your LBB like a cape is something I love as it doesn’t interfere with the rest of the outfit (especially if you want to show off as much of your outfit underneath as possible).
Another option is to pair it with high-waisted, wide-legged trousers, with the addition of a statement ‘arm candy’ in the form of a bag like this from Max Mara.
Get Creative with Marina
Who would’ve thought to convert a silk scarf into a belt?! Our stylist Marina shows us how you can play around with a scarf in a fun and creative way.
Simply loop it through the button-hole of the LBB and wrap it around your waist to create a faux belt.
Styling made easy & effortless! Now go on and get creative with your LBB and don’t forget to share your looks with us on our social channels. Looking for more style inspirations & tips – book your style session today to see how you can find your unique style.
