The Power of Your Blazer in 11 GIFs

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Minnesota chapter.

As collegiettes, we all understand the importance of having the proper business formal” attire and looking the part in any professional situation. This is essential for those big interviews, networking events or the first day at your internship. But for good reason – the confidence surge that comes from putting on your fancy shoes and a nice blazer is sometimes the key to success. There’s nothing like that empowering feeling after putting on your business formal attire and suddenly feeling like a badass who is about to change the world.

1. How you felt when you found the perfect, doesn’t-need-to-be-tailored blazer:

When you find the perfect blazer, you know

2. At first you didn’t get the hype:

3. But now the confidence boost from rockin a pantsuit has you like:

~sleeps like a badass~

4. Proof blazers aren’t just exclusively the office in the first place:

So much cute in one GIF

5. Your face when someone asks if you own the same blazer in three different colors:

6. Or when someone asks if you wear the same blazer everyday:

7. Bragging about a killer find because we all know blazers are expensive… but worth it:

8. How you feel when someone suggests ~casual friday~:

9. Knowing you’re rocking that blazer, so you go and rock that interview:

10. Having that professional vibe makes you better at your job or internship by giving you the courage to speak up:

11. And makes you feel up to the challenge:

When it comes down to it, it’s not really about what you look like – it’s about how you feel. If wearing a blazer and looking like professional helps you feel more confident in that role, then do it! If you don’t need a blazer to channel your inner professional badass, you should still consider it just because they’re versatile, flattering and their magic might come to you later.

Whatever you prefer, remember to be your lady-boss self.

And remember what you’re working for, collegiettes!

How you work is always more important than how you look.
