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.
Wearing the stylish combination in an Instagram post, Anita glowed whilst visiting a much anticipated art exhibition at the Barbican titled "The Imaginary Institution of India," which is now on until the beginning of January.
