What makes a blazer summer-friendly
Look for breathable linings (or half-linings), airy blends like viscose/linen, and soft shoulders. These details keep you polished without overheating.
Fits that move
Relaxed or semi-fitted cuts with room at the sleeve make layering over tees or tanks easy. Keep sleeve length at the wrist bone; roll for ventilation.
Outfit ideas
- Work: Lightweight blazer with ankle trousers and loafers.
- Weekend: Over a tank, straight denim, and ballet flats or clean sneakers.
- Evening: Pair with a satin cami, midi skirt, and strappy heels.
Color & texture
Soft neutrals (stone, blush, oatmeal) feel summery; add interest with subtle patterns or matte textures. A light blazer over monochrome outfits creates contrast without heat.
Care
Steam to refresh; spot clean; hang on wide hangers to protect shoulders. Air between wears to keep linings fresh.
