These Crisp Blazers Are the Perfect Summer Layer
Just because it’s hot outside doesn’t mean you can’t look cool.
As much as I don’t want to accept it, the time has come for buildings everywhere to start blasting the A/C. If you, like me, are someone who runs cold, chances are you’re looking for an easy layer to take on and off as you move in and out of your home, the office, the coffee shop...wherever. Well, I have just the thing: summer blazers. Much like your oversized denim jackets or lightweight knits, this warm-weather staple will give you the extra layer you need without compromising your best summer outfits (and I don’t need to tell you how it’ll instantly add polish to any of them, either).
When you think of summer blazers women actually want to wear, odds are you think of linen styles—and there are plenty on this list. However, they aren’t the only version of the tailored jacket you can sport during the season’s dog days. There are seersucker styles, lightweight wool options, and others to choose from as well. The best part? They’ll go seamlessly with your everyday go-tos, like comfortable summer sandals or classic white sneakers—along with your new favorite summer tops and dresses. Ahead, shop the best summer blazers to wear all season long.
