When it comes to shopping for blazers, the boyfriend blazer is in a category of its own. Where the traditional blazer is typically used to polish and elevate an outfit, the boyfriend blazer can do so much more. Dressing comfortably is huge right now, and if you think about the boyfriend blazer as a modern way to add some polish to casual pieces and loungewear, you can transform your wardrobe without sacrificing comfort. When tossed over your favorite white t-shirt, you can look approachable yet buttoned up, and when worn over a band t-shirt, you can instantly give off a more casual vibe. When I spotted Old Navy's Patterned Boyfriend Blazer ($13, originally $50) on sale, I knew I had to try it out. Here's how I'm styling it right now. And let me tell you, I am in LOVE with it!

Old Navy Patterned Boyfriend Blazer With Ripped Jeans
I knew as soon as I unfurled the jacket ($13, originally $36) from its packaging, this is exactly how I wanted to style it. The jacket is way softer than it looks onsite — and to be honest, much softer than every other blazer I own — so I wasn't sure how it would hang. But it blew my mind. It feels like a flannel on but wears like a blazer. This will definitely become my go-to jacket.

Old Navy Patterned Boyfriend Blazer With Paperbag Pants
The second time I grabbed the blazer ($13, originally $36), it was a chilly morning, and I thought it might rain, so I knew sneakers and a hat would have to be part of the look. Paperbag pants can be tricky because they're so voluminous, but I loved how the blazer's mustard stripe and lining picked up the color of my pants. (Also please pardon my snoozing dog in the background.)

Old Navy Patterned Boyfriend Blazer
The Patterned Boyfriend Blazer ($13, originally $50) I reviewed is out of stock, but there's an almost identical patterned blazer ($13, originally $36) available to shop that's just a bit more oversize in fit.
