Blazers have long been considered a staple clothing item, but finding one that fitsjustright and has the perfect amount of structure is more difficult than figuring out how Carrie Bradshaw affords her designer wardrobe on a writer's salary.

Not all blazers are made the same — some give off Hailey Bieber, cool girl vibes while others are more appropriate for the office. So the first step to buying a blazer is knowing where you plan on wearing it.

Watch: What is your biggest fashion splurge? Post continues below.

If you want to give off boss energy, then I recommend something more boxy, and if you’re feeling extra daring, choose one with shoulder pads.

But if you just want to throw it on over a t-shirt and a pair of jeans, then lean towards something with a relaxed fit.

Now, blazers can be exxy, with some costing well over $300, and while I don’t deny that the quality and fit would be incomparable, I just don’t think it’s necessary to spend that much on outerwear.

There are many styles out there that are less than $100, and lucky for you, I’ve rounded them up in one place.

So if you’re searching for a blazer that’s affordable but helps step up your wardrobe, then take a look at these options below.
