0:00 [Music] 0:00 foreign 0:02 [Music] 0:07 three days three ways and today we are 0:10 talking about one of our favorite items 0:13 on our fall Hit List the Blazer it's 0:16 something that everybody needs in their 0:17 closet there are so many ways to wear it 0:20 the ultimate versatility piece but 0:23 actually the reason I love it the most 0:25 it is instant gratification if you are 0:27 looking to get put together in a hot 0:29 second so let's start from the top 0:32 this is kind of my what to wear on 0:35 Fridays I don't even know what to wear 0:37 to the office anymore and we dressing up 0:38 are we dressing down are we casual are 0:40 we not casual done this is going to 0:42 solve all your problems this is blank 0:44 NYC absolutely love this jacket now a 0:48 couple things I think make this unique 0:49 and make it fun and fresh from Blazers 0:52 from our past number one it's 0:54 double-breasted rule breaker you do not 0:57 need to button a double-breasted jacket 1:00 all it does it gives you a little bit 1:02 more fabric but you still can really 1:04 show off your shape underneath I'm 1:06 layering it under a more fitted piece 1:08 and I think this is one of the freshest 1:10 ways to update the Blazer look it gives 1:12 you shape underneath but if you're still 1:15 kind of toeing into that tucking your 1:17 shirt in Trend I think a Blazer is a 1:20 really nice layer over that fitted piece 1:22 because it does give you a little bit 1:23 more coverage now let's talk about the 1:26 pants what I think makes this so unique 1:29 and fresh and fun for fall is pairing a 1:32 blazer with more of a trouser leg now 1:35 you could have done this with a black 1:36 pant of course I think that's a little 1:38 more expected I'm gonna do it with a 1:39 denim so this is the every trouser Jean 1:42 if you have not gotten yourself into an 1:44 everyday Jean yet you do not know what 1:46 you're missing this guy has tons of 1:48 stretch fits like a glove I went down a 1:52 size in this one 1:54 feels really really comfortable they do 1:56 run long so for those of you that are 1:58 you know five four and under I did have 2:00 these hemmed I like a good trouser or a 2:03 flare when it just grazes the floor with 2:06 my heel and yes for those that are 2:08 petite a heel is a must when it comes to 2:10 a flare because it really helps to 2:11 elongate your leg keeping the jewelry 2:14 really simple a couple rings a little 2:17 hoop and I'm good to go done done and 2:21 done we've got a more casual version of 2:24 the Blazer coming up okay look number 2:26 two I don't know we're feeling 2:29 Harvard lacrosse game I'm kind of 2:32 feeling like 2:34 a love story whatever it is it's 2:37 cross between preppy and Chic and 2:40 layered and it certainly says fall and 2:42 it is a whole lot of fun so Blazers gun 2:45 casual this is definitely an easy way to 2:48 do it this fall season what I love about 2:50 it is it's almost a cross between a 2:52 Blazer and a top coat so think of this 2:54 if you are in warmer climates as you're 2:57 lightweight fall coat if you are in 3:00 colder climate think of this as just 3:02 that one extra layer that you can put on 3:04 to really put enough foot together and 3:06 layer it up underneath so starting from 3:09 the top great every Blazer now what I 3:11 love about this guy is the length on me 3:15 5'4 long torso short legs it's hitting 3:17 me about at the knee I think you're a 3:20 little bit taller you're probably going 3:21 to get more of like an above the knee 3:22 Grays yes if you're petite you can wear 3:25 a long coat like this it's all about the 3:27 proportions and I think the secret sauce 3:28 here is creating a waste so how we're 3:31 doing that today really fun Henley 3:35 sweatshirt lots of Henry and total 3:37 collars going on I love the Henley under 3:40 this because it's just easy and it's not 3:42 the collars aren't fighting each other 3:43 this is a full-on sweatshirt gang so 3:45 easy to wear throw it on you can always 3:48 lose that jacket later if you want to 3:50 but I think the little kind of tipping 3:52 here makes it really fun I love the 3:55 buttons as a little bit of personality 3:56 and then to create that waist half tuck 3:59 now I've got on the a Goldie Riley now 4:02 what I love about this Jean you know 4:04 from last year this is a really nice 4:06 slim straight so I'm trying to keep the 4:09 proportions a little bit more narrow 4:11 underneath this jacket so it doesn't 4:12 swallow me up and that would be true 4:15 whether you are tall or petite you 4:17 really want to keep it balanced 4:18 underneath now accessories we're taking 4:20 this in a more sporty Vibe you could 4:23 absolutely see how this could go a 4:25 little bit more elevated but we're going 4:26 suede hat so fun p448 John sneaker with 4:30 a shearling detail to give it that kind 4:32 of cozy element and then brand new to 4:35 every absolutely love this this is Prime 4:38 Cut these are fantastic bags each one 4:42 made by hand this is a great little bag 4:44 because it can act as a crossbody or a 4:47 bum bag in this really fun shearling and 4:49 it has enough shape to it you can see 4:51 the connection 4:53 kind of pack it in so if you are heading 4:56 to some of those fall events a really 4:57 easy one just just to bring with you now 4:59 if I was going to dress it up lose the 5:01 Hat change out the bag throw on a booty 5:04 and I've got a really clean put together 5:06 look 5:07 so fun so easy we've got a great little 5:10 surprise surprise going Outlook in a 5:13 Blazer coming up next 5:14 okay look number three I promised you a 5:16 night Outlook we're gonna deliver yes 5:18 you can wear Blazers for a night out it 5:21 just has to be a little edgy and yes 5:23 let's just go for a little bit sexy now 5:27 I think a really expected way to where 5:30 this look would be your classic white 5:32 tee yep vegan jacket check and a skinny 5:36 jean we're going to turn it on its head 5:37 because I think there can be something 5:39 really fun about an amazing fresh cut in 5:43 denim that totally reinvents an outfit 5:46 so let's first start with the Blazer 5:48 though this is the amazing vegan Perry 5:51 brazer from every now 5:54 I think when we first been vegan Blazer 5:56 we might think a little bit like you 5:58 know fellas maybe like Miami Vice moment 6:01 none of those things I think actually 6:03 what this does is that it takes a little 6:05 bit more of an edgy Fabric and makes it 6:08 really Chic so a couple things I love
