If you’re in need of a statement piece that will instantly elevate your entire look, the sculpted blazer is where it’s at. I never thought I would want to style an entire outfit around a basic black blazer, but ever since I bought into the hourglass trend, I have been changed for the better. This trend is all about a flattering, tailored silhouette that brings an empowering vibe to any outfit. Among what’s left of the oversize, boxy blazer trend, a new classic silhouette is emerging. So naturally, I’m obsessed.
What I love most about this blazer style is its versatility—it gives you that elevated, power-dressing look without feeling too rigid or stiff. Perfect for layering over both workwear and off-duty looks, this trend is here to add a little bit of edge and sophistication to your wardrobe. If you’re looking to make a bold, confident statement this season, this is your sign to grab one. Whether you pair it with with jeans or a sleek skirt, the structured nature of the sculpted blazer ensures you always look like the main character in your own story.

Mugler is certainly a champion of this trend. This sculpted moment with a high-neckline that is incredibly flattering is a winner for sure.

The oversize sleeves make this fitted style feel effortlessly chic. I’d style this Loewe blazer with my favorite pair of jeans.

I love seeing this type of blazer styled with nothing underneath and a cool pendant. This is the kind of suit that will make you feel like a boss.

If you’re still not fully convinced, allow the Dior stamp of approval to lock in the deal. For spring/summer, try adding shorts or a miniskirt for a preppy look you’ll want to wear on repeat.
On the streets:
This style proves that a blazer can be hourglass and oversize at once. I am drawn in by the strong shoulder pads and a statement belt that really emphasizes the cinch at the waist.
Anyone who knows me knows I just love a matching set. This plaid-on-plaid moment with a utility waist belt will be a classic for 2025.
Oh look, it’s me! I found this blazer at Aritzia, and after trying on what felt like the entire store, it just had to come home with me. It may be labeled as a blazer, but it’s more like a chic top I can’t get enough of. It’s almost sold out because it’s perfection.

Kendall Jenner’s outfits for her most recent sightings at Paris Fashion Week revolved around exquisite tailoring, so of course an hourglass blazer was in the mix. I love how she styled it with a chic pencil skirt.
