Why Choose Veronica Beard?
Through a philanthropist approach, the Veronica Beard sisters have made their company a progressive site, donating parts of their proceeds to children in need.

The Beard brand supplies multiple different types of clothing from blazers and jackets to jeans and dickeys. By “celebrating the women who inspire us,” the company uses the hashtag #MAKEITHAPPEN to bring to the front successful women and their stories. Included is the story of them, the Veronica sisters and their path to success in their personal and professional careers.
By purchasing and supporting Veronica Beard fashion, some proceeds go toward the charity of “Operation Smile,” donating funds for child surgery, psychological therapy, and aftercare to change the lives of children born with cleft lips.
Like so many others, throughout the month of October, the company produced clothes in the pink hue of Breast Cancer Awareness Month. From partnering with multiple non-profits to supporting trends like celebrating female veterans, to providing food for American food banks, the brand is known for their altruistic charitable nature.
The Fit of a Veronica Beard Blazer
Like so many other women, most clothes just don’t seem to fit just right.
At Veronica Beard, there are a plethora of blazer options to choose from for the right fit. Made from options of linen, cotton, polyester, and nylon, these jackets are made to fit tightly to your curves for a professional or relaxed look, depending on what you pair it with.
Larger-chested women can feel welcome here- Veronica Beard Blazers fit true to size and give extra room for any size cup with optional buttons. Sometimes double-breasted and vented, any style of blazer gives a perfect-looking mold to your body while providing comfort and ventilation.

Made from lighter-weight nylon and elastane fabric, this stretchy suit has long sleeves and snap cuffs and lined pockets. The thick lapels taper into the placket for a clean, orderly look.
This jacket is great for any professional atmosphere. Suited for larger or smaller chested women, the structure outlines the female body by tapering in at the waist and jutting out at the hips and shoulders. For a professional workplace look, style this jacket with a long sleeve silk or cotton white button down and expose the sleeves at the hole of the blazer. Pair this with black bootcut linen pants and heals, keds, or any fashionable sneaker for a comfortable but appropriate style.
Sedgwick Dickey Jacket

How to Style a Veronica Beard Blazer
A blazer is the best tool for a professional yet elegant outfit. By accessorizing and wearing your clothes just right, you’re sure to catch attention.
Styling a blazer can be difficult depending on the setting you are in and what is most appropriate. For a professional look, style a blazer with a silk blouse and linen pants paired with boots or heels. Adding a silver or gold necklace, bracelets, and earrings can add a touch of class and bling to a stricter look.
Despite what you may think, blazers are versatile. For a night out, brunch, birthday dinner, wedding, you name it, a Veronica Beard blazer looks great when paired with jeans, flowy straight-leg pants, a t-shirt, and keds. Never underestimate a scarf for a touch of added flare. Worn around your neck, waist, or in your hair, you can style a silk scarf with any Veronica Beard blazer.
The Dickey
What’s a dickey? Humorous from its name and look alone, dickeys can look somewhat ridiculous without an overshirt. For “layering without the bulk,” dickeys are shirts without the extra padding and material. Worn with jackets, suits, and sweatshirts, dickeys are actually a great closet staple for over-heaters.
The dickey was known as a “dicky dirt” by eastern Londoners in the 19th century. Originally made for easy laundering, the dickey was used as an undershirt, easy to clean and easy to wear. Practical and compact, this fashion staple has made its comeback in the fast fashion industry to add layering and versatility to the world of fashion today.
Style a Veronica Beard dickey with any Veronica Beard blazer for a toned down, relaxed look paired with light or dark wash jeans. Styled in sweatshirts or jean jackets, Veronica Beard dickies are comfortable and light to reduce the bulk of your outfit.
