The news in jackets this fall? Size is everything. The masculine, oversize boyfriend blazer has returned from the eighties. Yves Saint Laurent's was very sleek, paired over a miniskirt. Ralph Lauren grounded a floaty chiffon evening dress by topping it off with a tweed jacket, adding just enough guts and grits. Chalayan paired his with nothing but boots. Just be sure your boyfriend doesn't raid your closet for these boxy blazers.
