Winter—and its frigid temperatures are officially here for the foreseeable future—and with it, comes the necessary cold-weather wardrobe swap. Everyday essentials, like knitwear, dresses, and skirts, receive a climate-appropriate surrogate. Lightweight sweaters are swapped for cashmere, trench coats take a back seat to shearling and puffer coats, and flats are traded-in for winter boots. But, few items boast staying power quite like the blazer—even in the winter, when it embraces seasonal fabrics like corduroy and velvet and can be layered over crew- and turtlenecks and under with heavyweight coats. And the best winter blazer outfits feature this versatile essential in a plethora of fresh ways.

Whether it’s a weekend coffee stroll, a dinner date, or the workweek, the blazer is a seasonless choice—even during a season known for change and renewal. Slim-fit styles can fit under big coats, thankfully, while classic styles worn during the warmer months get the winter treatment in warmer corduroy and wool-blend fabrics. And, all winter blazers can be layered with essentials like tank tops, tissue tees, long-sleeved shirts, and cotton poplin button-downs.
The below corduroy option from Weekend Max Mara is infused with ’70s sensibilities for day, while Favorite Daughter’s velvet adds luxe, durable texture for festive events. Anine Bing’s oversized shape lends itself to relaxed wear. For your 9-to-5, opt for a shrunken blazer beneath an oversized wool coat on the commute. And for casual days, when a workout class is the only thing on the schedule, use a cashmere hoodie to downplay a loose-fitting boxy blazer—the combination displays an effortless je ne sais quoi. For every occasion, there is a winter blazer outfit to match. Choose your vibe, below.
A Corduroy Blazer for a Weekend Coffee Stroll
While a corduroy blazer can be seen as the epitome of autumn, it can also be winter-appropriate when paired with cold-weather layers. Try it with Róhe’s double-breasted chocolate coat, a neutral turtleneck, and a pair of shearling-lined Ugg slippers.

An Oversized Blazer for a Workout Class
Because the blazer has cemented itself as a year-round staple, it’s become a welcome styling piece to amplify the everyday for unlikely occasions, too. For that next pilates class or HIIT circuit, wear an oversized silhouette from Anine Bing beneath a cool-girl trench and atop a cashmere hoodie. Never fear running into someone post-sweat again.

A Shrunken Blazer for the Work Week
While the oversized blazer will always have a place in our wardrobes, we at Vogue have been obsessing over more shrunken silhouettes this season. Take Toteme’s, for instance. The cropped shape shows off a leather high-rise skirt from Source Unknown, and looks neat layered over a crisp poplin shirt from J.Crew. Finish the look with knee-high boots.
