Guide to the outfit with the blazer, the versatile and timeless jacket that you won't be able to do without.

Created in 1873 for the crew of the British frigate, it later became the jacket intended only for gentlemen. Yves Saint Laurent, combined it with trousers to create the tuxedo, and Richard Gere who, in American Gigolo , a cult film from 1975, wore the perfect blazer, designed by Giorgio Armani, making women lose their heads due to the allure, and men , for the perfect fit.

However, women had to wait for Coco Chanel to wear it, who at the end of the 1920s decided that it was time, even for women's wardrobes, to have a perfect example. And it immediately became a statement of femininity: it began to be worn with sailor trousers and shirts, up to the sexier versions, with a skirt, or even an oversized one, and well buttoned on the front, instead of a dress.

The blazer is one of those garments that, for any self-respecting fashionista, absolutely cannot be missing from any wardrobe: this is thanks to the chic and timeless cut, which has made it famous over the years, as well as a protagonist on the catwalks and the most iconic looks of the last times.
