Day Birger Edie Blazer Classic Gabardine in Black

A proper black blazer. The sort that makes you look like you’ve got everything under control. Even when you’ve absolutely not.

The Day Birger et Mikkelsen Edie Blazer in Classic Gabardine Black is a beautifully considered women’s black tailored blazer, bringing the Danish brand’s signature contemporary elegance to one of the hardest-working pieces in your wardrobe.

Sharp, sophisticated and wonderfully versatile, the Edie is the kind of jacket that makes getting dressed considerably easier. Throw it over a white T-shirt and jeans, add it to tailored trousers or wear it over a dress. Suddenly, everything looks intentional.

At BWD, we don’t buy blazers simply because they’re beautiful. They need to earn their keep. And a great black blazer should take you from Monday morning to Saturday evening without requiring an entirely different wardrobe.

This is tailoring with longevity in mind. No passing trends, no unnecessary fuss. Just a fabulous jacket you’ll find yourself reaching for again and again.

Why it made the cut

• Classic black tailoring that never goes out of style.
• Gabardine fabric gives the blazer a polished, structured look.
• Day Birger et Mikkelsen’s contemporary Scandinavian aesthetic feels refined without being stuffy.
• Works beautifully with denim, tailored trousers, dresses and skirts.
• Black makes it endlessly versatile across seasons.
• A brilliant piece for creating that relaxed-but-pulled-together look we love at BWD.
• Buy now, wear for years. That’s our kind of wardrobe investment.
• Because a good blazer can make you look organised even when your diary suggests otherwise.

How we’d wear the Edie Blazer

Our first choice? Blue barrel-leg jeans, the Samsøe Samsøe Alexo Tank Vest in White and the Edie Blazer. Add a belt, loafers and gold jewellery. It’s classic BWD: relaxed, confident and just the right amount of polished.

For work, pair it with black tailored trousers, a fine knit and a pointed shoe. A black blazer gives you that wonderfully put-together look without veering into corporate uniform territory.

We also love it thrown over the Odd Muse Long Sleeve Knitted Top in Cream with dark denim. The contrast between soft knitwear and structured tailoring is always a winner.

And for evening? Wear it over the Odd Muse Draped One Shoulder Midi Dress in Black, add statement earrings and heels. A blazer over an evening dress is one of our favourite ways to make occasionwear feel cooler and less predictable.

How do you style a black blazer casually? The secret is contrast. Pair sharp tailoring with relaxed denim, a simple cotton T-shirt and flat shoes. Push up the sleeves and resist the urge to make everything too coordinated.

Is a black blazer worth investing in? Absolutely — provided it’s one you’ll actually wear. A versatile black blazer can work across casual outfits, office dressing, dinners and occasions, making it one of the most useful pieces in a carefully curated wardrobe.

And no, black tailoring doesn’t have to mean dressing like you’re attending a board meeting. Unless you are, in which case you’ll look fabulous.
