You might say duty calls this summer. That is, your duty to step out in style and put your best foot forward during summer weddings, board room meetings and well beyond. One way to do that? With a great summer blazer, of course. As easy to wear with light wash jeans as with linen trousers, a lightweight, sharply-designed blazer is a wardrobe workhorse everyone needs.
Opt for comfortable fabrics, perhaps a pop of color and details like patch pockets, and you’ll be all set for plenty of tailored #OOTD scenarios, each and every day of the week. Here’s a slew of summer blazers worth investing in right now.
