There are small styling tricks that can transform an outfit completely. And Pampita knows this very well. At a gala, the model once again delivered a lesson in elegance with a total-black look that blended sensuality, sophistication, and a fashion move that never fails: dressing the blazer draped over the shoulders, with the arms left out of the sleeves.
A simple gesture, yet of great visual impact, that adds attitude, flatters the silhouette and elevates even the most minimalist outfit. It is also one of Juliana Awada’s style signatures, who often resorts to this way of wearing blazers to achieve outfits that are elegant and relaxed at the same time.
Pampita’s Look: Black Velvet, Guillerminas, and a Blazer That Makes the Difference
For the occasion, Pampita chose a black velvet floor-length dress, with a fluid fall and a V-neckline. The design stands out for its soft, luminous texture, which adds depth to the black and turns a simple silhouette into a sophisticated proposition.
The defined waist and the long, relaxed skirt create a streamlined silhouette, while the neckline adds a touch of sensuality without sacrificing elegance.
As an accessory, she chose black Guillermina-style pumps, with a pointed toe and a heel, which added a feminine and contemporary detail. She also added a black clutch, maintaining the monochrome harmony of the ensemble.
However, the real star of the look was the black, tailored blazer, with structured shoulders and gold buttons, worn simply draped over the shoulders.
The result was a styling that blended velvet’s softness with tailoring’s rigidity, achieving a perfect balance between feminine and masculine elements.
The Blazer-on-the-Shoulders Trick: The Secret of Elegance Also Used by Juliana Awada
Carrying the blazer as if it were a cape is one of those styling resources that the most elegant women have known and used for many years.
Juliana Awada is one of her major references in Argentina. Whether with tailored trousers, dresses, or minimalist ensembles, she tends to lean toward this gesture that adds sophistication without needing to add accessories.
The key is that the blazer is not worn in the conventional way, but rests delicately on the shoulders, allowing the sleeves to fall at the sides of the body.
This way of wearing it creates a more structured visual line at the top, adds movement, and produces a look that is relaxed yet carefully considered.
Moreover, it allows the dress or the garment worn underneath to retain its prominence.
In Pampita’s case, the contrast between velvet and tailoring gave the ensemble texture and personality without abandoning the elegance of the total black.
How to Copy Pampita’s Style Trick
The best part of this trend is that you don’t need to invest in new garments to achieve the effect. A blazer you already own can become the perfect complement for a nighttime outfit.
To recreate it, it’s advisable to choose a blazer with defined shoulders, solid structure, and a length that flatters the silhouette. Slightly oversized models also work very well, especially when paired with fitted dresses or more delicate garments.
The key is to create contrasts: a slip dress with a tailored blazer, a silk ensemble with a structured jacket, or, as Pampita did, a velvet dress with a blazer in classic lines.
The result is an elegance that looks spontaneous, but has a lot of strategy behind it.
Because, as Pampita and Juliana Awada show, it’s not always about which garments we choose, but how we choose to wear them.
