Best Bet: Trail Blazer

We've been looking for a good blazer ever since last year, when menswear-inspired pieces started showing up on all the spring runways. But with prices costing in the hundreds, our pockets just weren't deep enough. That's where Bloomingdale's comes in. The retailer has its own house line named Aqua, a collection of runway-inspired pieces that won't max out your credit card. It's been out for a while now, but we rediscovered it when we found this jacket. Available in navy or black, the timeless colors fit every season, and we love how the length hits right below the hip, making it just slouchy enough without it looking like you swiped your boyfriend's jacket. Obviously, it looks better than his, anyway.
