Blazers are absolute must-haves for any woman's wardrobe. It's non-negotiable! A gray wool blazer is, specifically, a fantastic piece to own because it's super versatile and can be really feminine or masculine depending on what you pair it with. Go with a boyfriend blazer, a vintage blazer or feminine, fitted one, and rock it with lots of different outfits.

Dresses

Blazers look seriously amazing with a dress, especially if the dress fabric contrasts with the structure of the wool jacket. According to "Glamour," you can get "maximum flirt factor" by wearing a dress with a hemline that "hits just below the hemline of the blazer." You can, however, wear almost any length of dress with your gray wool blazer, and you will look tres chic.

Jeans and a Tee

Easy as pie! The jeans-and-tee look never fails with a gray wool blazer. This is an outfit that makes you look so effortlessly stylish that you'll want to wear it every day. Change up your tee all you want -- go vintage, choose a pattern, whatever -- but slip on your favorite jeans, throw on the blazer and you're done.

Long Skirt and Blouse

Channel the working women of the 1970s and 1980s and don your gray wool blazer over a button-up blouse and belted maxi skirt. Keep this look light by wearing feminine heels but be confident in your menswear-inspired, retro look. This was showing its trend chops for the fall 2011 season.

High-Waisted Shorts

Though wool can be a bit warm in the summer, it's perfect for a transition season like fall or spring, when you can also generally pull off shorts, with or without tights underneath. High-waisted shorts are a sexy and trendy look that fit perfectly with a blazer. Tuck in your T-shirt, tank top or blouse and throw your blazer on to complete the look.
