How to style an oversized blazer - what goes with it?
I recently bought a cream-colored oversized blazer from Zara and I'm not really sure how to style it. Can I wear it with jeans or does that look too casual? And what shoes actually go with it?

Jeans absolutely work with it - it doesn't look too casual at all - especially with a cream blazer, it looks really elegant! You can pair it with black, navy, or white jeans, and then wear either a simple white or black shirt underneath. You've got tons of flexibility with shoes: white sneakers look cool and laid-back, black loafers or mules are more elegant, and pointy flats work perfectly too!
An oversized blazer with jeans doesn't come across as too casual, but rather cool and balanced - the real problem would be styling it too formally and destroying all that effortlessness. With cream-colored, you don't need to be careful at all, it goes with pretty much any jeans, whether dark blue or black. When it comes to shoes, you can really go anywhere: sneakers or slip-ons for everyday wear, loafers if you want it a bit smarter, even chunky boots work with it. The key thing is to play with the proportions - if the blazer fits so nicely oversized, then go for fitted jeans or even leggings underneath, otherwise it gets too shapeless too quickly.
