Three Style, styling a stripe blazer | Matalan Style Challenge

This week I got an email from Matalan asking if I would like to be involved in a styling challenge. I got sent this awesome striped blazer which I chose to style in 3 different ways. I loved putting different outfits together with one set key piece, as been working a lot it’s been ages since I have had an opportunity to play around with styles.

The blazer is a part of Matalan’s new ‘Statements’ Collection which includes all the key staples needed to complete any look. I chose this lovely blazer which I knew I could style in the three ways they wanted. I loved making a casual, smart and dressy look!

Skirt – Topshop

Tights – Chictopia

Heels – Schuh

Black frilly socks – Topshop

Bowler hat – Topshop

Outfit one is the most casual, but probably my most wearable, considering I like to be comfy! I wanted to make it more appropriate for autumn so on went my tights. For a classic casual style I knew a cool printed tshirt and skirt would be ideal, especially against the stripes for a more rocker style. I got some new boots from work this week and have been wearing them non-stop, they are so comfy and I just love them. The blazer works well here to make a statement against the casual and fairly plain pieces together.

Dress – Chicwish

Tights – Primark

Belt – Iron fist

Outfit 2 is a bit more smart casual! This outfit is perfect for all those occasions with friends, like meals out or date night. I love putting on a pretty or fun dress and then smartening it up with a blazer. This mustard yellow always looks good with stripes and I really like how it makes the stripes stand out without being too much. I can’t remember where my boots are from annoyingly but i’ll try find out! I love Chelsea boots though and these are so comfortable and add another nice touch to glam up an outfit for going out.

Black bodycon dress – Topshop

Maroon tights – Primark

Black flatform heels – Primark

Necklace – Rokii

The third and final outfit is the the most dressy. With any blazer you can dressed it down or up and this one is perfect for both. Every girl has a LBD so I wanted to style mine from Topshop and give it new life with the stripes and maroon coloured tights. Something pretty simple but really like how sweet but still stylish it looks with the dress.

Thank you Matalan for the lovely blazer, hopefully I can continue to style it with many outfits and always try different things, I love it!
