Blazers for Women That Work From Office to Evening
A well-cut blazer for women adds instant structure to an outfit. Wear it over a shirt for a meeting, throw it on with jeans for a casual lunch, or layer it over a dress for dinner. Jackets for women do the same job on cooler, more relaxed days, with an easy finish that suits weekends and travel.
The Westside collection of blazers and jackets for women brings formal and casual layers together in one place. Pair them with pieces from across our western wear for women to build outfits for work, weekends and occasions.
Types of Blazers for Women
Formal Blazers
A formal blazer for women has a tailored fit, clean lapels and a structured shoulder. Wear it with matching or contrast trousers for women and a crisp shirt for the office, interviews and presentations.
Casual Blazers
A casual blazer has a softer, more relaxed shape. Layer it over a T-shirt with jeans for a smart-casual look that still feels easy.
Long Blazers
A long blazer falls below the hip, often to mid-thigh. It gives a lean, elongated line and works well over slim trousers, skirts and fitted dresses.
Blazer Sets
A blazer set pairs a blazer with matching trousers or a skirt. It creates a polished, head-to-toe look with very little effort. For more matching outfits, see our co-ord sets.
Blazer Dresses
A blazer dress takes the shape of a blazer and extends it into a dress, often with a wrap or button front. Add heels for evening plans or loafers for a sharp daytime look.
Jackets for Women
Denim Jackets
A denim jacket is the easiest casual layer. Wear it over dresses, T-shirts or tops for weekends and travel.
Bomber Jackets
A bomber jacket has a short, gathered hem and cuffs for a sporty, street-style finish. Pair it with jeans or joggers and sneakers.
Winter and Puffer Jackets
A winter jacket for women adds warmth for cold mornings, hill trips and travel. Puffer jackets use a quilted, padded build for extra warmth. Layer one over a sweatshirt or knit with jeans and boots.
Black, White and Other Colours
Black Blazers
A black blazer for women is the most versatile choice. It works for the office, formal events and evenings, and pairs with almost any colour underneath.
White Blazers
A white blazer looks fresh and modern. Wear it with blue denim for daytime, or with white or beige trousers for a tonal look.
Neutrals and Colour
Beige, grey, navy and brown blazers suit everyday office wear. Brighter shades and checks bring a stronger statement to simple outfits.

How to Find the Right Fit
- The shoulder seam should sit at the edge of your shoulder.
- Sleeves should end at the wrist bone, so a little of the shirt cuff shows.
- You should be able to button a single-breasted blazer without the fabric pulling.
- If you plan to layer knits underneath, choose a relaxed fit or size up.
Check the size details on each product page before you buy.
