Anita Rani's long black blazer paired with wide leg jeans is the perfect winter combination that you'll wear on repeat this season
If you're stuck on what to wear for the changeable weather, look no further.


Anita Rani's recent outfit is at the top of our winter wishlist, as she combines an oversized long blazer with a crisp white shirt and wide leg denim jeans. Her tailored jacket is the perfect staple for layering, and we've already rounded up some of the best high-street alternatives.
As we move into colder months, our autumn capsule wardrobes need staples that are versatile enough for layering up. And a long blazer is the ultimate staple—not as heavy or constricting as a thick jacket, but warm enough for layering over a smart shirt and even soft knitwear. Plus, a long blazer doubles as a jacket or coat and looks ultra-chic with a pair of the best wide leg jeans.
There is always something about the turning of the season that has me immediately reaching for a blazer. However, once we're deep into the winter months, they are impossible to wear without getting cold, so the genius of a long blazer is undeniable—this is a staple worthy of being in everyone's wardrobe.
