‘That One Thing’ is going to be a regular fashion post here on Shop Me Chic. We will take one item of clothing and find it for you in three price points – under $50, between $50 and $150, and over $150.

For the very first post, That One Thing is something every woman needs in her wardrobe…a black blazer.

This little gem can be incorporated into any outfit, whether it is a chic corporate look for the office, a sophisticated casual ensemble on the weekend or with a fabulous cocktail dress for a night out on the town.

So whatever your budget, here are three fabulous black blazers to consider adopting and making your own…

Less Than $50

Asos Satin Lapel Tux Blazer, $48.66

They say: “Oversized tuxedo blazer, featuring notched satin lapels, a single breast pocket and pockets to the waist with satin trims, a longline cut and long sleeve styling, and an oversized slouch fit.”

Sonia says: What are you waiting for?! Asos offer free delivery to Australia and at a bargain sale price of $48.66 (it’s 50% off!!), this is a guilt-free way of getting a fabulous blazer into your wardrobe. The tuxedo style is timeless and will see you through many seasons to come. I hope you’ve hit ‘Add To Bag’ by now…

Between $50 and $150

Bardot PU Boyfriend Blazer, $129.95

They say: “Tailored boyfriend blazer in a double breasted design with leather look lapel and non functional front pockets.”

Sonia says: I have had a black Bardot blazer in my wardrobe for over two years now and it is still going strong. It’s such a little nifty number that I call upon to trick up my simple weekend outfit of ponte leggings and longline singlet or to wear over a cute dress to take it to another level. The leather-look lapels give this blazer an edge and the affordable price point makes it a great alternative to the usual suit-type of blazer.

Over $150

KARL ‘James’ Satin Twill-Trimmed Crepe Blazer from Net-A-Porter, $270.26 (approx.)

They say: “Take inspiration from masculine tailoring with KARL’s tuxedo-style satin twill-trimmed blazer. Wear this precision-cut design with a panelled shirt and towering heels for the ultimate boy/girl blend.”

Sonia says: If you are going to spend over $150 on a blazer, you may as well go all out and buy yourself one that is delivered to you in a beautiful black box tied with ribbon. Once again, the tuxedo style is a versatile classic well worth investing in.

So there you have it. Three different blazers at three different price points, in That One Thing: the black blazer.

Happy shopping dolls!!

Stay chic,

Sonia
