1. Why I love this styling trend
There’s a styling trend going around right now that I’m completely in love with because it gives your trusty blazer or coat a whole new personality. It’s great finding multiple ways to wear one item, and this trick does exactly that without requiring anything new.
All you need is your coat or blazer and a brooch or an earring. That’s it. This is seriously going to be the easiest tutorial of your life.
While a lot of people use an earring for this and it’s cute in theory, I move around way too much for that to feel secure, so I prefer using a brooch.
2. How to style a coat
Start by putting your coat on. Next, flip up the collar. Then cross one side of the collar over the other.
Finally, secure it in place with your brooch or earring. That’s it. Instantly elevated.
3. How to style a blazer
Let’s try the same technique on a blazer. Flip up the collar and then cross it over.
Secure it with your brooch or earring. Just like that, you’ve turned a basic blazer into something that feels intentional and styled.
4. Why this trick works
This small adjustment completely changes the proportions of the garment.
It draws the eye upward toward your face and creates a focal point, which makes the outfit feel styled and deliberate rather than just thrown on. It adds personality without adding bulk, layers or anything new to your wardrobe.
