Here's How to Wear a Blazer in 2026

I love a blazer as much as the next fashion person, but it’s usually styled quite simply: over a T-shirt or button-down. This is still chic, of course, but it can get a little boring. And then I saw the most interesting way to style a blazer that I can remember: Layered under a leather jacket. Kim Kardashian was recently spotted in NYC wearing a sleek pinstripe blazer and an oversized black leather bomber jacket layered over it. I was so intrigued, and I’ve never seen such a fresh take on styling a blazer, especially in the fall and winter.

Simply put, her look was cool from head to toe. For starters, with her blazer, she wore a pair of distressed jeans and pointed–toe boots. Typically, I would wear this type of outfit without the leather jacket, but with it, her outfit takes an unexpected turn that proves to be quite successful, and I think a trend may be in the making. I’m definitely wearing my blazer with a leather jacket layered over it going forward for the rest of the cold-weather season.
