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.
