Daytime, nighttime, work time, or play time, the blazer is truly a girl's best friend! Celebrity stylist Salvador Camarena has the scoop on which styles will transform you into a fashion trailBLAZER.

We've included some stunning runway examples, as well as similar (and more affordable!) alternatives:

The Boyfriend Blazer: Lengthy hemlines and a boxy shape define this wardrobe staple. This style works well with anything - from a fitted LBD to skinny jeans and a t-shirt!

Camerena suggests the boyfriend blazer for women who want to add to their chest, or emphasize their legs.

Relaxed fits, like the Stella McCartney and H&M jackets below, hit below the waist and add volume to your hips. (Left: Stella McCartney Golden Syrup Dry Slub Suiting Michelle Jacket, $1595, Right: H&M Blazer, $59.95)
