What to wear with yellow blazer?

Getting there · 2013-01-06 22:09:28

I bought this (well very similar) on a whim during the sales http://media-cache-ec4.pinterest.com/upload/175358979211390792_vhsNX5Fc_b.jpg Now Im not sure what to wear with it. I'd hate to bring it back and I love the colour but what goes with this deep yellow? I always think black and yellow makes me look like a bumble…

Thanks!

im invisible and The_Mask, if you can't post helpfully then please don't post.

I wore a black blazer with a dress the same colour as your blazer to work before when I was teaching a bunch of teenagers something to do with bees. It was a total coincidence but they noticed! Having said that I thought it looked quite nice. A black dress with that blazer would be lovely. I think yellow and purple go together nicely too.

I think casual purple satin round neck loose blouse and some light denim skinnies would work with this. The jacket has a nice shape and will be nice worn casually. A big bag worn on the arm would look nice. It's nice to see people experimenting, the streets would be so boring if we all dressed in black. Enjoy your jacket! Happy January:)

That blazer is gorgeous - would you mind me asking where you bought it?!

It would go very well with black - (as it is a real statement/bold colour). Wine, royal blue, emerald green and white would also work well.

The following links may give a few more ideas.

If you want something simple and easy - dark jeans, a simple vest and brown heels. It's a gorgeous blazer, it'll be especially nice in the Irish summer where we still have to cover it so we just do it in bright colours!

Navy goes lovely with mustard and you could try something patterned underneath to make it feel more wearable. This is from New Look.
