While shopping for a blazer for my holiday capsule wardrobe, I noticed a jacket trend I absolutely adore this season — the black embellished blazer. These chic black jackets are adorned with crystals, rhinestones, sequins, embroidery and other shiny embellishments.
The epitome of this look has to be the stunning crystal-embroidered blazers from McQueen, but now so many designers and brands are offering their own dazzling versions.
Why I Love This Jacket Trend
There’s something so exciting about a black embellished jacket. Here’s why I’m obsessed:

1. It’s incredibly versatile. You can dress it up for a formal event — wear it over black pants, a gown, or a maxi skirt — or dress it down for daytime with your favorite pair of jeans. All shades of blue, black or grey denim will work and would look amazing.
2. It flatters every shape. Whether you prefer fitted, boxy, or oversized, there’s a silhouette to suit your personal style.
3. It works with colors or neutrals. You can wear all black for a sleek, monochromatic look, or add a pop of color — think a hot pink or cobalt blue cami, or bold red or green pants.
4. It works well with prints. Pair it with a floral blouse, plaid trousers, or even geometric patterns. Since it’s essentially a neutral black blazer (just with a touch of bling), the styling options are endless.
5. You don’t need much jewelry. The embellishment is the jewelry! One of these jackets adds just the right amount of sparkle on its own.
So take a look at the black embellished jackets I found — from high-end designer pieces to more affordable finds. Pick your favorite! One of them may be just perfect for you.
