How to Style a Blazer for Fall: 3 Veronica Beard Outfit Ideas

This post contains affiliate links. If you buy through them, What To Wear Post may earn a commission at no extra cost to you.

One good jacket does most of the work in an autumn wardrobe. Veronica Beard's Dickey Jacket is built for exactly that: a tailored blazer with a zip-in layer, so the same piece reads smart on Monday and relaxed on Saturday. Here are three fall outfits, each built around a different version, with every piece linked underneath.

Why I like Veronica Beard’s Dickey Jacket : 
What caught my eye about Veronica Beard’s Dickey Jacket is how it combines classic tailoring with a modern, relaxed feel. I love the versatility of being able to change the look with different dickeys. I think it suits the woman who loves looking polished and put-together but still wants a little room to express her personal style.Why this jacket caught your eye, and who you think it suits. Two or three sentences in your own voice.

✦ Look 1: The heritage plaid blazer with jeans

A check blazer is the quickest way to make jeans look considered. Keep everything else plain: a fitted white tee, mid-blue denim, a slim tan belt and a chocolate kitten-heel boot. The plaid supplies all the interest, so nothing needs to compete with it.

Style tip:
I’d wear this for a smart-casual lunch or a day of shopping, and I’d add a chocolate-brown leather bag with gold jewellery to bring out the warm tones in the plaid.

Shop the look

• The jacket: Veronica Beard Oria Plaid Dickey Jacket, Heather Grey Multi
• The jeans: 7 For All Mankind Ultra High Rise Jo in Must
• The white tee: Pruitt Ribbed T-Shirt White Crewneck Short-Sleeve Top
• The tan belt: Dash Leather Belt Tan 20mm Stud-Buckle Belt
• The brown kitten-heel boots: Lisa Kitten-Heel Ankle Boot Brown Suede 1.75-inch Bootie

✦ Look 2: The navy blazer with a hoodie dickey

This is the workwear-with-trainers formula. The navy Miller comes as a kit with a grey hooded dickey that zips in, giving you the layered look without the bulk of a real sweatshirt. 

Add black wide-leg jeans, then bring in burgundy at the feet and on the shoulder to warm up the navy.

Style tip:
Personally, I would dress this look up without the dickey. I would choose a fine-knit, lightweight grey hoodie with a neat hood, rather than a thick sweatshirt. Wear it under a tailored, double-breasted navy blazer, add straight-leg tailored trousers, a slim leather belt and pointed-toe ankle boots or loafers.
💎 Finish with a structured handbag and delicate gold jewellery. 
And one thing I would say: you do not need a dickey to recreate this look. A real hoodie gives you the texture, the hood and that relaxed, layered effect naturally. The trick is choosing one that sits neatly beneath the blazer without adding unnecessary bulk.
This is a look that works beautifully when you want to appear put-together without looking overly formal. It is not about following a trend blindly. It is about making the trend work for your own style.

For an even more polished look, I would swap the casual trousers for tailored wide-leg trousers in charcoal or cream. You could also wear dark indigo straight-leg jeans for a more relaxed, weekend-friendly version.

The key is balance. Keep the hoodie casual, but let everything else do the work of elevating the outfit.

Shop the look

• The jacket: Veronica Beard The Miller Dickey Jacket Kit
• The trousers: NYDJ Teresa Wide Leg Jeans With Side Tuxedo Stripes
• The trainers: adidas Originals Samba OG Leather, Brown/Warm Vanilla/Maroon
• The bag: Kate Spade Deco Suede Tulip Tote Bag 
• The Jacket: Veronica Beard Jackets

✦ Look 3: The chocolate suede blazer, tonal

Brown on brown is the richest combination of the season, and suede is the texture that makes it work. Wear the Maci over a plain black top with chocolate trousers, then keep the accessories soft: a suede shoulder bag and a simple ballet flat.
Swap the flats for trainers at the weekend.

Style tip: 
One care tip I swear by - protect your suede before you wear it. Use a suede-specific protective spray, following the product instructions, and always test it on a discreet area first. It will not make suede waterproof, but it can help protect against light moisture and stains. 

And if your suede does get wet, resist the temptation to rub it. Gently blot away excess moisture, let it air-dry naturally away from direct heat, then restore the nap with a suede brush once it is completely dry.

Because beautiful pieces deserve to last beyond one season.

Shop the look

• The jacket: Veronica Beard Maci Suede Dickey Jacket
• The bag: Edit Bag Black Suede Flap Shoulder Bag
• The flats: Penrose Brocade Sneaker Dark-Brown Suede and Floral Jacquard Sneaker
• The brown trousers: Veronica Beard Crosbie Corduroy Slim Wide-Leg High-Rise Pant
• The black top: Veronica Beard Waldorf Ruched-Sleeve Tee Black

✦ Which jacket to choose

• If you want one jacket for work and weekends, the navy Miller is the most versatile.
• If your wardrobe is already full of plain neutrals, the plaid Oria adds pattern without effort.
• If you want the piece that feels most of the moment this autumn, it is the chocolate suede Maci.

My favourite pick: 
I would pick 'look 2' out of the 3 because it is a look that works beautifully when you want to appear put-together without looking overly formal.

What Should I Wear to a Wedding This Season

Four invitations on the fridge, a summer of Saturdays booked, and, if you are anything like the rest of us, one honest question: what on earth do I wear to all of them? Here is how to dress for every wedding this season, from a quiet register office to a black-tie marquee, without spending a fortune or accidentally upstaging the bride.

The invitations have landed, the diary is full, and somewhere between June and September you have four weddings and nothing to wear. Here is how to dress for every one of them; from a Tuesday register office to a black-tie marquee, without upstaging the bride or spending a fortune.

Wedding season has a way of arriving all at once. August is the busiest month for ceremonies in the UK, with June and July close behind, so many of us are dressing for back-to-back celebrations on a single wardrobe and a real budget. The good news is that this season is unusually kind to a guest: fluid fabrics, soft tailoring and pastels are everywhere, and almost none of it asks you to be uncomfortable. But before you buy or borrow a thing, do one small thing first; read the invitation properly.

Early this year, one of my cousins got married in Portugal. I ordered more than 12 outfits online and I made a several visits to the malls before I could get a suitable outfit to wear for the occasion. It was a dilema, to say the least. Imagiine if I had to do this for four (4) weddings in a row.

i. Read the dress code first

The most useful words on any invitation are the ones most of us skim straight past: the dress code. "Lounge suit" is not black tie. "Cocktail" is not "wear whatever you like." Decode that single line and you have made half the decision already. What follows is arranged the way real invitations tend to escalate, from the quietest ceremony to the grandest evening.

Get the code right and the outfit very nearly chooses itself.

ii. The register office: polished, not fussy

For a weekday ceremony or an intimate town-hall wedding, think smart rather than formal. This is soft tailoring's moment: wide-leg trousers in ivory, stone or taupe with a silk or satin blouse, and a low kitten heel. It reads expensive, it stays cool, and if you prefer a little more coverage, it is one of the most elegant modest looks going this year. A single soft neutral, top to toe, does the same job with even less effort.

Our editors choose every piece on merit. Some links earn What To Wear Post a small commission at no extra cost to you — it keeps the newspaper independent.

A register-office look: soft neutral tailoring, natural light. 

Shop the look

Yellow Linen-Blend Wide Leg Tailored Trousers — Nobody's Child, £29.70

Pure Silk Collared Shirt — M&S, £90.00

iii. The garden or marquee: this season's playground

Outdoor summer weddings are where the trends actually live. Reach for a macro floral, the big, zoomed-in prints that have replaced the ditsy ones; or a polka-dot midi in a fabric that moves. Butter yellow is still the colour of the season, with baby blue and soft pink close behind. Choose a block heel or a smart flat, because grass and stilettos have never once been friends.

For an older and traditional person, M&S is my pick. But if you are young and vibrant and you want that to reflect your look, Mango, Nobody's Child and ASOS will be the ideal place to pick up your wedding guest's outfit for this wedding season 

A full-length garden look: bold floral or polka-dot midi, block heels. 

Shop the look

Cotton volume-waist midi, buttermilk yellow — & Other Stories, £49.99

Jones Bootmaker Suede Kitten Heel Pointed Court Shoes — M&S, £99.00

iv. The church or cathedral:  considered and covered

A traditional ceremony rewards a little more formality and a little more coverage. A wrap midi or maxi, an off-shoulder neckline softened with a fine knit, or pleated separates all strike the right note. Keep a light jacket or shawl to hand, English churches stay cool even in a heatwave, which is a mercy for the outfit and for you. 

A full-lenght Church look: a wrap-style satin midi dress in dusky rose, a fine knit shawl 

Shop the look

Draped / wrap satin midi — Mango · asymmetric styles, £69.99

Plain Lightweight Scarf — M&S, £6.30

v. Cocktail, the sweet spot

Cocktail is the most common code and the most forgiving. A knee-to-midi dress in a jewel tone or a painterly print, one considered accessory, and a heel you can genuinely stand in for six hours. For the season's playful edge, a little fringe or a ruffle carries you neatly from the ceremony to the dance floor. 

The Cocktail look: a draped emerald-green satin cocktail midi dress, a single gold statement earring, and strappy heels 

Shop the look

Draped ruched gown —Self-Portrait £410.00

Callie Small brocade tote bag — Jimmy Choo, £925.00

vi. Black tie, the full stop

For a black-tie or formal evening wedding, go long: a floor-length gown, a well-cut jumpsuit, or a satin slip under good jewellery. This is the one occasion to let the outfit be the loudest thing you say — short of the bride. Always short of the bride. 

The Black-tie look: a floor-length navy lace column gown, delicate fine jewellery, an elegant low updo 

Shop the look

Embellished linen dress — Johanna Ortiz, £2,105

Sac A Main Small studded clutch — Rabanne, £640.00

vii. The rules that never change

Whatever the code, a few things hold every single time. Never wear white, off-white, or anything that could photograph as ivory; that column belongs to one person. Try not to turn up in the bridesmaids' colour. Dress for the venue and the weather as much as the dress code: a marquee in a heatwave and a stone church in April are simply different assignments. And choose shoes you can dance in, because you will.

One more thing worth knowing this season: renting is no longer a compromise. With back-to-back weddings and a no-repeat culture online, hiring a designer piece for a single day is often the smartest,  and cheapest way to look like you spent a fortune. The luxury look for less, quite literally.

If you have a wedding to attend this season, are you aware of the dress code? If yes, which of the looks are you most likely to emulate? And are you buying or renting? Leave your comments below. Perhaps you have advice for others to follow? Let us know in the comment too

Get the code right, dress for the day you are actually attending, and leave the white to the bride. That is the whole of it.

The Online Fashion Newspaper Is Live — Edition No. 1

Edition No. 1  ✦  From the Editor

What To Wear Post is now publishing as an online fashion newspaper. Here is what that means, what you can expect from it, and why it exists at all.

There is a question almost everyone asks, quietly, most mornings of their lives. It gets asked in front of a wardrobe with the door open. It gets asked again three weeks before a wedding, the night before an interview, and roughly an hour before a first date.

What should I wear?

It sounds like a small question. It isn't. Getting dressed is one of the few decisions you make every single day, in public, with consequences you can feel in the room. Turn up in the wrong thing and you spend the evening managing it rather than enjoying it. Turn up in the right thing and you forget about your clothes entirely — which is, in the end, the whole point.

Most fashion coverage doesn't actually answer that question. It shows you a runway you cannot buy, or a trend list that will be irrelevant by November, or a £900 coat presented as a sensible basic. It is inspiring, occasionally. It is rarely useful on a Tuesday.

What To Wear Post is built the other way round. It starts with the occasion, the invitation, the dress code you have been handed — and works backwards to a real outfit, at a real price, that you can actually get hold of this week.

Fashion is more than clothing. It is communication, confidence, identity and self-expression.

What you can expect

Six recurring columns, running on rotation. They are designed to be looked up as much as read.

What Should I Wear To…?  —  The signature column. One occasion, answered completely: the dress code, the outfit, the shoes, the thing everyone gets wrong.

The Luxury Look for Less  —  A designer look, rebuilt on a real budget and styled identically. Same silhouette, a fraction of the price.

Runway to Reality  —  The season's biggest trends, translated into clothes you would genuinely leave the house in.

Register Office to Black Tie  —  The full formality scale, decoded. Because “lounge suit” on an invitation should not require a search engine.

Dressed Right  —  Short, practical styling rules. The kind of thing you read once and use for years.

The Weekly Edit  —  Friday’s newsletter. The week’s guides in one email, with nothing padded out to fill space.

The promise

Every recommendation here is chosen because it works, not because it pays. Where a link earns a commission, that is disclosed plainly and it costs you nothing. Prices and stock are checked before publication, and the high street is treated with exactly as much seriousness as the runway.

You will not be told that a £400 blazer is a wardrobe essential. You will be told which £40 one holds its shape, and what to look for on the label.

Starting this week

Wedding season, properly handled. Tomorrow: five guest looks, from register office to black tie, one for every level of formality. On Wednesday: the wedding guest dress-code decoder, which translates every phrase you are likely to find on an invitation into an outfit you can actually put together.

Read the first guide — What should I wear to a wedding? Five guest looks →

The Weekly Edit

One email, every Friday. The week’s guides, edited down.

No spam, no filler — just what to wear, and where to find it.

Join the Weekly Edit

One last thing. This newspaper works best as a conversation. If there is an occasion you are dreading, a dress code you cannot decipher, or a designer piece you want found for less — say so in the comments. Those questions become the guides.

Welcome to What To Wear Post. Dressed right, every single time.

Plaid Trend 2025: 5 Key Fashion Aspects & Styling Tips

5 Key Aspects of the 2025 Plaid Trend and How to Style It

Plaid is back in full swing for 2025, and it’s not just your cozy winter print anymore—it’s a high-fashion powerhouse redefining wardrobes across all seasons. 

From bold checks to subtle tartans, designers are refreshing plaid with modern twists that feel both nostalgic and forward-looking. 

If you’re ready to embrace this timeless yet trending pattern, here are five key aspects of the 2025 plaid trend—plus styling tips to nail the look.

📌 Versatile Styling:
Plaid can be styled for a sophisticated, polished look, or for a more laid-back, effortless vibe. 

---

1. Maximalist Colour Palettes

This year, plaid isn’t playing it safe with neutrals. Instead, designers are rolling out bold, clashing colors like electric blues, fiery reds, neon greens, and sunny yellows. Think punk-rock meets digital futurism.

How to style it: Balance your statement plaid piece with neutral basics. 

For example, pair a neon plaid skirt with a simple white tee and sleek ankle boots. If you’re feeling daring, try mixing two plaid colourways for a runway-ready vibe. 

---

2. Oversized Silhouettes

2025 is the year of comfort and drama, and oversized plaid jackets, blazers, and wide-leg trousers are leading the charge. These larger-than-life silhouettes give off an effortlessly chic, borrowed-from-the-runway appeal.

How to style it: Cinch your oversized plaid blazer with a belt to highlight your waistline, or let it hang loose for that relaxed, off-duty model look. 

Add sleek sneakers or chunky boots for a streetwear twist.

• Wide-leg Trousers Under $50.00 - Shop the Looks

3. Plaid Layering Mastery

Layering plaid on plaid is no longer a faux pas—it’s fashion gospel. From check-on-check suits to mismatched plaid scarves thrown over plaid coats, this trend thrives on texture and dimension.

How to style it: Start small with complementary plaids in the same colour family, like a navy plaid skirt with a grey plaid blazer. 

Feeling adventurous? Go bold with clashing plaids in different sizes—micro-checks against oversized tartans.

4. Sheer & Lightweight Plaids

Plaid isn’t reserved for heavy winter fabrics anymore. 2025 brings breezy, sheer plaid dresses, skirts, and tops perfect for transitional weather and warm seasons. It’s plaid reimagined for fluidity and movement. 

How to style it: Pair a sheer plaid blouse with a bralette or sleek tank for a playful edge. 

For the evening, pair a sheer plaid maxi dress with strappy heels and statement earrings. 

If you prefer the elegant and reserved way, the Saint Laurent plaid silk blouse will not disappoint. Pair with the Gucci interlocking G clip-on earrings, and complete it with the Gucci Jackie 1961 shoulder bag.
