The Off-Shoulder Blazer Admit it — you haven’t seen a jacket quite like this before. It’s the type of piece all your friends will be envious of when you’re wearing it with a pair of boyfriend jeans like it ain’t no thing. Loéil Delphine Off Shoulder Blazer, $162, available at Loéil.

The ‘70s-Inspired Blazer You’ve got your flares, your tinted aviators, and your bangs — just throw on a piece of '70s-inspired outerwear to complete a fully retro ensemble. Topshop '70s Longline Blazer, $125 $65, available at Topshop.

The Belted Blazer If you feel like your shape gets lost in the trendy, oversized blazers that have been popping up left and right, opt for one that has a built-in waist-accentuating detail. This is Kardashian-approved, if you ask us. Donna Karan Cross Drape Jersey Blazer,$1,427.75 $856.65, available at Farfetch.

The Blazer-Coat This structured, wool-blend topper has a bit more warmth than your typical polyester blazer, which is a total game-changer in almost-freezing temps. Massimo Alba Double Breasted Blazer,$1,450.10 $725.05, available at Farfetch.

The Velvet Blazer Never struggle to find a party outfit again. Layer this bold velvet blazer over some trousers or a slip dress, and you won’t just be making an effortless statement — you’ll be protected from freezing outside, too. Mango Velvet Blazer, $149.99, available at Mango.

The Stretch Blazer There’s a reason black leggings have become a mainstay. And, whether you like them or not, there’s no denying they’re stretchy and comfortable. To still look polished, simply add an equally moveable blazer. Theory Payette stretch-jersey blazer , $425$195.50, available at The Outnet.

The Bold Blazer Three words: Total. Power. Move. For an instant outfit that’s worth a double-take, try a bright red blazer with an exposed zipper detail. We guarantee people will be wondering just who you are in this number. T by Alexander Wang Convertible Crepe Blazer, $515 $257.50, available at The Outnet.

The Denim Blazer If you’re going for a chambray variation, keep the silhouette boxy and oversized for that sought-after, model-off-duty appearance. Consider your brunch uniform found. Front Row Shop Tencl Denim Blazer, $81$68.85, available at Front Row Shop.

The Leather Blazer Your leather moto jacket might not feel completely appropriate for the office, but a little change in silhouette can make a big difference. The Row Nolbon Leather Blazer, $2,990, available at MyTheresa.

The Boxy Blazer Blazers don’t always have to tailor to your every curve. For a more relaxed look, try a boxier silhouette that has a borrowed-from-the-boys vibe. With Converse sneakers and skinny jeans, this is a go-to for weekdays and weekends, alike. Ganni Crawford Blazer, $270, available at Ganni.

The Pajama Blazer Ever wanted to look like you’re dressed up but feel like you’re wearing your pajamas? Well, this super-soft and cozy blazer is your new best friend. Wearing loungewear in public never looked so good. Gucci Silk-trimmed Wool-twill Blazer, $2,200, available at Net-a-Porter.

The Sporty Blazer Add a bit of an edge to a pair of leggings or skinny jeans with a sporty take on the classic blazer. Its slim shape and pop of orange track-stripe make this piece a must-try with a pair of crisp white kicks. Preen by Thornton Bregazzi Carlton Wool-twill Blazer, $1,375 $550, available at Net-a-Porter.

The Longline Blazer This is the cold-weather layer your wardrobe has been missing. Layer a longline blazer over sweaters, turtlenecks, oxford shirts, and more, and it will immediately make any outfit more polished. Plus, it’s light enough to wear underneath a heavy coat, too. Zara Long Fancy Blazer $149 $79.99, available at Zara.

The Cropped Blazer With the rise of high-waisted pants, now’s a better time than any to introduce a cropped blazer into your style repertoire. The silhouette hits in just the right place, making your legs look like they go on for days. H&M Wool-blend Blazer, $59.99 $29.99, available at H&M.

The Pinstripe Blazer Forget the notion that pinstripes are reserved for unflattering office pants — the pattern actually gives a perfect subtle shakeup to your usual black blazer, and is ideal for mixing with other prints, like florals or graphics. Alberto Biani Pinstripe Blazer, $1,037 $727, available at Al Duca D'Aosta.

The Off-Shoulder Blazer Admit it — you haven’t seen a jacket quite like this before. It’s the type of piece all your friends will be envious of when you’re wearing it with a pair of boyfriend jeans like it ain’t no thing. Loéil Delphine Off Shoulder Blazer, $162, available at Loéil.

Russia has found the critical vulnerability in Nato’s American tanks
The arrival of the US M1A1 Abrams tanks in Ukraine was hailed as a turning point in the war. Coming in at roughly $10 million a unit, the Nato stalwart was supposed to provide the armoured fist that would punch through the Russian lines. But tactics evolve quickly in warfare, and Russia’s use of surveillance and hunter-killer drones has led to heavy casualties for Ukraine’s tank fleets. This is alarming for NATO. If Russia has found critical vulnerabilities in our armour, our borders are beginni
