Double-Breasted Blazers for Women: 2025 Styling Trends You Need to Know
It’s a tough ask, but if we were forced to pick a single piece from all the options in women’s tailored suits in Australia in 2025, it would have to be the double-breasted blazer. Classic, versatile and the epitome of chic, it’s a piece that can take you from the office to the bar and back again with only the most minimal of adjustments.
But don’t take our word for it! This week, we’re diving into the myriad ways that double-breasted blazers for women can be styled, breaking down everything from the casual through to formalwear.
Let’s get into it!
The weekender
At Oscar Hunt, we’re huge advocates for versatility and women’s tailored blazers represent the pinnacle. A veritable wardrobe Swiss army knife, this piece goes with pretty much anything. Case in point? The weekend coffee run.
One of our favourite ways of styling this piece is to throw it over a chunky knit and a pair of looser fit jeans to add a little nod of polish to an otherwise very laid back look. This can be rounded out with either loafers or sneakers depending on the occasion and we recommend scrunching the sleeves up slightly for added insouciance.
The workwear staple
In custom women’s suits, the norm is to go for a single breasted blazer. This is largely due to many women having had bad experiences with a double breasted jacket in the past because of poor fit. However, this is where proper tailoring can really shine - not only complementing your form but also injecting some extra personality into corporate dressing.
When it comes to styling women’s made-to-measure suits, we love to pair a long line double breasted blazer with wider leg trousers and a pair of penny loafers for a look that effortlessly balances business dress codes with a fresh take on traditional tailoring.
The unexpected formal finishing touch
It’d be remiss of us not to touch on how to style a double-breasted tailored blazer for formal events. Unexpected? Yes. Incredibly chic? Also yes!
Whether you’re wearing it as part of a ‘le smoking’ style tuxedo or layering it over an evening gown by simply perching it on your shoulders, the sharp tailoring makes for the perfect contrast against more traditional feminine fabrics and silhouettes.
