We dare say everyone needs at least one beloved blazer in their closet!

1. People Tree
Based In | London, UK
Ethics | Fair trade & ethical production, organic & sustainable materials, gives back, recycling program
Our Pick | Jaspal Checked Jacket
Price | $235
Hailing from the UK, People Tree has long been a go-to for women’s workwear, including its elevated line of jackets and blazers. Every piece has been made under fair trade working conditions and either uses sustainably sourced or 100 percent organic cotton (and finished with coconut buttons!). Our pick, the Jaspal Checked Jacket, reminds us of Clueless in the best way—and it was made by Artisan Hut, a fair trade group in Bangladesh.
2. Universal Standard
Based In | New York, NY
Ethics | Quality & some sustainable materials, fair labor standards, upcycling/recycling program, gives back, inclusive sizing
Our Pick | Petite Rio Blazer
Price | $248
Universal Standard is setting the standard for the fashion industry with an inclusive approach to sizing. With a range of 00 to 4X (size 40 US), the brand offers a wide range of workwear, formalwear, and everyday wear. US regularly visits the factories it works with and is committed to seeking facilities with ethical and sustainable certifications. For shorter folks, we love the Petite Eco Rio Blazer, made with sustainable twill and beautifully tailored to fit.
3. Etsy
Based In | Varies by seller
Ethics | Certified B Corp, upcycling & vintage, carbon-neutral shipping
Our Pick | Vintage Puffy Shoulder Ivory Open Blazer

Certified B Corp Etsy is a gold mine for sustainable, affordable pieces to add to our wardrobes—including hundreds of blazers! Whether you’re looking for styles from the 1960s, ‘80s, or today, you can find them all here from sellers around the globe (like this ‘80s puffy shoulder blazer from Mighty Oak Vintage Co in Philly). Use the filters to sort our local options, your size, and more. Best of all, whatever you purchase will be sent via carbon-neutral shipping.
4. OhSevenDays
Based In | Istanbul, Turkey
Ethics | Ethical & slow production, sustainable practices, deadstock & OEKO-TEX certified materials
Our Pick | Thursday Bahama Blazer
Price | $240
Born out of one of the textile capitals of the world (Istanbul), OhSevenDays utilizes leftover textiles for its apparel. Launched in 2015 by Megan Mummery, OhSevenDays creates just a handful of garments per season that take slow fashion to the next level. With an oversized fit, there is a distinct vintage and retro feel to the brand—and we are obsessed with the Thursday Bahama Blazer in particular. Get your throwback on.
5. Reformation
Based In | Los Angeles, CA
Ethics | Made in USA, uses sustainable & deadstock fabrics, fair labor & wages, climate-neutral, eco-friendly production
Our Pick | Veda Bowery Leather Blazer
Price | $398
Put together a love of style and sustainability, and you’ll end up with Reformation. Made entirely of responsibly sourced materials using eco-friendly practices, Reformation thinks about the cost of creating fashion as a whole, not just the price tag. For example, the brand is carbon-neutral, invests in renewable energy, and recycles a majority of waste. We love that looks range from colorful and eclectic to timeless classics—like the Veda Bowery Blazer.
6. Selva Negra
Based In | Los Angeles, CA
Ethics | Ethical production, sustainable materials & practices, low waste, compostable packaging, made in small batches, gives back
Our Pick | Flo Jacket
Price | $303
Selva Negra is a Latina- and Filipina founded brand focused on ethical production right in the heart of Los Angeles. In partnership with a local factory, the brand uses low waste practices and offers living wages and safe working conditions. With sizes through 4XL, we love Selva Negra’s use of bright, retro colors—like the avocado Flo Jacket, adding a pop of color to any outfit (or pairing with matching bottoms!).
7. Kirrin Finch
Based In | Los Angeles, CA
Ethics | Gender-fluid & androgynous apparel, quality & sustainable fabrics, ethically made, gives back
Our Pick | Georgie Navy Suit Blazer
Price | $380
Kirrin Finch challenges what counts as “menswear” or “womenswear”—and instead designs gender-fluid styles that help you look and feel your best, period. Its collection of androgynous suits includes blazers, vests, and pants, which uses luxury, quality fabrics and is ethically made in Italy in small batches. Our favorite, the Georgie Navy Suit Blazer, has a gorgeous interior lining that stands out above the rest.
