The start of 2025 brought with it a fresh wave of return-to-office orders, leaving many navigating new schedules and rethinking their routines. It’s not hard to glean what this might mean for your wardrobe: If you’re required to be in the office five days a week, you’re also required to dress for the office five days a week. And unless you work in an extremely casual or extremely formal environment, it can be tricky to pull together outfits that strike the right balance of the two.

When in doubt, I always return to classic pieces, and today, I’m highlighting a true staple: the navy Yiyan blazer—my go-to when I want something that really feels timeless. I love the polished look of the wool twill fabric and the chic covered button, but what really gets me is the fact that it has stretchy knit panels sewn into the back seams. As someone who gets claustrophobic when something is even slightly too tight in the shoulders, I find this extra stretch game-changing.

I used to worry that by wearing “classic” styles, I’d end up looking like everyone else, but I’m pleased to report that I was wrong. In fact, finding fresh ways to zhuzh up tried-and-true pieces often leads to more creative outfits. Below, I’ve put together four office-ready navy blazer looks that have plenty of personality.
