Women's Business Clothes: Blazers

Video Transcript

"Now, we are going to go over the perfect black blazer and the perfect brown blazer. This is my beautiful model, Patricia, and she is a business woman. So what better way to show a business woman's wardrobe than on a beautiful business woman? First, we are going to go over the black blazer. Now black is essential because every day you'll need a black piece. This is because most suits today are dark colors, aren't they? They are gray or they're black. This blazer is perfect because you can use it with a skirt or you can use it with pants. This is a short version of the jacket. Now, I have a long version, as well. This is really great, because what it is going to do is that, it is going to hit the middle of your thigh. You want to make sure that you have a jacket that covers everything. This is because, unlike summer and winter trips, business is something where you have to look conservative and you have to maintain your poise. Now, Patricia is wearing a different kind of suit. This is velour and velvet and it is tan colored. Tan can work in the workplace, but, if you are in a very conservative office, you always want to go with dark colors. This is a one-button jacket, and I like this button right here. It is a great button. So maybe, if you would undo it, you can show everyone just how easy it is. The little dark colored top underneath offsets the whole entire suit. Now, the great thing about a suit is that you don't want to have it all look like you went to a store and you bought the tank top, the blazer and the pants. You want to mix it up a little. So, what she did was she mixed the black camisole underneath, which we'll go over later, with the black shoes on the bottom. Now, she has incorporated two different colors. What I always suggest is to go out and find a blazer that fits you. You want to make sure that it fits on the waist. Also, you don't want the length of your arms hanging down. One of the main things, on a woman's blazer to fit, is the sleeves. You want to make sure that they are altered according to the length of your arms. Now, I have really short hands and arms, so the problem, for me, is that I always find blazers that go out to here. I always have to have them shortened. My tip is to find a blazer fits just for you. Make sure that it is altered exactly right. That way you can use the top with pants or a skirt and probably wear it three days out of the five. Now, you wouldn't wear it every day, but you could mix it up. The tan is fabulous to offset your wardrobe, as well. I would suggest getting a light colored suit also. She looks beautiful, doesn't she? Thank you."
