If you’re into Korean dramas, you might already be knee-deep in the season two of Stranger, which stars Bae Doona. The actress reprises her role as a cop in the drama and this time round, she’s all about the slouchy suit look, from oversized blazers to wide-leg pants.

The blazer has always been every woman’s beloved tailoring essential. A faultless wardrobe staple, it has always played an integral role as a unit of the reputable power suit. In recent times – since early-2019, if we’re to be specific, the blazer of the times has transformed from a slim-fit silhouette to one that is intentionally baggy and tailored to a relaxed, slouchy fit. 

It falls perfectly in line with everyone’s recent obsession with comfort; the oversized blazer has a billowy, roomy fit that you’d feel thankful for on a humid day. It can also effortlessly pull an entire outfit together. Dress it with a cropped top and slouchy trousers, baggy boyfriend jeans, a pair of tailored shorts, or even just a mini dress peeking out from underneath – the blazer feels particularly cool and chic when thrown on over something casual. 

Below, you’ll see some of our favourite (not to mention, affordable) picks to start shopping right now. Get in on Fall 2020’s hottest tailoring trend and cart out your favourite one.
