The 13 Best, Most Stylish Blazers Under $200

There is something to be said about a piece of clothing that can instantly smarten up your look. A blazer is sort of magical, if you think about it: It's a layering piece that, sure, functions as a garment that keeps you warm, but it also says something about you. It says: I'm put-together. I'm classy. I know what the fuck I'm doing—how could I not, when I'm wearing a blazer?

The thing is, for all of its sophistication and elegance, a blazer is not a traditionally cheap piece of clothing. For all of its variety in style—because we know that, these days, the word "blazer" can also encompass a suit jacket or sport coat—, a blazer is usually going to run you up a pretty penny. Usually.

Because I believe that every closet needs a blazer, I also believe that there are blazers to be found of all price points. A more affordable one is going to be up to $200—not bad, considering how much use and wear you can get out of a versatile enough style. There are sporty blazers under $200 and formal blazers under $200, blazers you can wear with a tee or blazers you need to wear with a button-down. Whatever you need a blazer for, whatever you're wearing it with—consider this your landing page for dressing up your style without emptying out your wallet.
