Blaze Your Own Trail

The simple addition of a well-tailored blazer can bring your outfit from standard to special. And with so many new textures, fabrics, shapes and other blazer trends emerging this fall, it's the perfect time to go shopping. If you're ready to step (way) outside your basic black comfort zone, it's time to check out the new Tailor Shop by cool-girl bespoke clothiers Alex & Eli.

No matter which upgraded version of yourself you're shooting for, this full-service, customized online blazer shop guides you through the process of creating a perfect match. The styles have names like "Vixen," "Weekender," and "Executive." Each offers surprising details like leather strips at the shoulder, extra-long menswear-inspired sleeves, or oh-so-now double-breasted buttons. After selecting which identity you'd like to tailor, the lining and buttons are up to you.

Lining options include hot pink, black-and-white stripes, and a creamy neutral. Buttons are black, silver, gold, or gunmetal. Each blazer is created from scratch upon request at the time of order submission; $315-385 and 2-4 weeks later, your personalized jacket arrives in a blaze of glory.
