Blazers add a polished touch to almost any look, whether paired with faded jeans or a buttoned-up blouse. But given how closely it’s associated with the workplace, the garment can sometimes end up seeming a bit boring—it’s always there to lend a sleek finish to an otherwise daring ensemble, but it’s not usually the center of attention.

The blazer may be one half of the practical pantsuit, but these 13 edgy iterations prove that it can be so much more. Take the off-the-shoulder Vera Wang jacket, for example, or even Tularosa’s unconventional cropped number. And if you’re really feeling daring, Comme des Garçons makes a blazer that’s semi-sheer, sequined, and hot pink. Shop the best off-kilter options below.
