Turtlenecks and sweaters are what make fall fashion so irresistibly cozy, but quite frankly, they’re nothing without blazers. Actually, why deny it? The cutest fall ensembles start and end with a blazer—and no, I’m not sorry. Blazers are the type of jacket that works to elevate any look, but doesn’t make you look overdressed. They can dress up a graphic tee or turtleneck, while at the same time, work perfectly with a slip dress. Blazers make the world of fall fashion go ’round, and there are plenty of plus-size blazer outfit ideas to prove it.
Whether you’re a fan of the classic black blazer or prefer a chic plaid option, consider this particular style of jacket a go-to for the season. Any season, really. ALL seasons are perfect for blazers! They’re the start to any good outfit—no matter if it’s spring, summer, winter, or fall. You can pair an oversized blazer with a summery mini dress. (Iconic!) Or, throw on a long blazer with a sweater and leggings. (Simple, but ridiculously cute!) The possibilities are endless, but by adding a blazer to any outfit, you’re creating a winning ensemble.
Though blazers originally started as a workwear look, they’ve transitioned quite effortlessly into everyday pieces. Really, you can’t peruse street style without seeing an oversized blazer or two (at least). And, if you pay attention, you’ll find that they can be paired with anything. Hailey Bieber has even worn an oversized blazer over a sweatsuit—and it was a major look. It just goes to show: blazer outfits are the best outfits.
If you’ve already stocked up on blazers (Good for you!), but want a little bit of inspiration on how to actually style them for the season, you’re in luck. Below, you’ll find several different plus-size blazer outfit ideas that might just have you throwing out all your outerwear that isn’t blazers. Just don’t say I didn’t warn you.

1. The Blazer & Graphic Tee Combo
Graphic tees are abundant in most wardrobes, but they’re often only utilized for super casual weekend looks. By adding a blazer, though, you can take all your graphic tees to the next level. Just finish things off with your favorite jeans and some heeled booties, and you’re good to go.

3. The Not Your Grandma’s Knit Blazer
Knit blazers are a wonderful thing, OK? They’re a little less constricted than your average blazer and typically a bit thinner, too. This means that they’re perfect for pairing with fall knits. Spice things up with some faux leather leggings and animal print boots for an epic chilly day look.
