SOFT WONDERLAND
*Maddie Stanley

written CHIDOZIE OBASI

There are certain trends that have claimed pride of place in our wardrobes without the gimmicks of internet-breaking campaigns or showy logos, and subtle timelessness is one such example. The word “timeless” is applied so liberally to certain items of clothing that it’s started to lose all meaning.

But if there’s one garment deserving of such praise, it’s an item that has put a wealth of styles on the fashion map. More than half a century later, the blazer is no longer deemed “radical.” It is, however, the textbook definition of a classic (today’s offerings comprise those of the high street and the luxury segment, in its manifold iterations). And for good reason. It hasn’t aged since it first became the staple for women about town.

The only difference nowadays is that, pleasingly, there’s a blazer for everyone, whether your personal style leans towards ladylike or something more lo-fi. If you’re not into wear-anywhere sorts, which is perhaps the most well-trodden path into the genre, why not try another “classic” (the structured blazer, rendered in neutrals or checks instead of its customary black, or a single-breasted tailored offering that’s straight-up-and-down sharp)? As you can see from model Maddie Stanley, meanwhile, the blazer is an “outfit coat”, meaning that you really don’t need to worry about what else you team it with. Still musing over it? Head below to peruse LE MILE’s luxury edit, and rest assured to find a result that’s effortlessly polished, every time. You’re welcome.
