Remember when Katie Holmes accidentally made Khaite’s matching cashmere bra and cardigan go viral? The knit twinset immediately sold out after Holmes was photographed wearing it.
A year later, the bralette top continues to crowd our Instagram feeds and even made an appearance on Jacquemus’ internet-breaking Spring/Summer 2020 pink runway. The French designer paired rib-knit bralettes with contrast-colored blazers — giving birth to an updated version of the trend. Fashion girls were (naturally) quick to adopt this new, more versatile rendition of the viral co-ord.
Bralettes paired with all sorts of outerwear – from blazers and coats to bomber jackets – also popped up at the Fall/Winter 2020 shows of brands like Dolce and Gabbana, Marc Jacobs, Off-White, and Saint Laurent. At Jacquemus, models matched slip dresses with incredibly low-cut necklines showing off a matching bra. Virginie Viard paired embellished bras with tweed jackets and long cardigans at Chanel’s Resort 2021 show, while at Alberta Ferretti’s Resort 2021 show, a fringed jacket was teamed with a bralette.
With more and more luxury powerhouses adopting the daring look each season, the bralette and blazer styling trend has proven to be hard to miss and easy to replicate. Scroll down to discover how “It” girls are wearing the style and shop Savoir Flair’s favorite bralette and blazer pairings to try right now.
