Summer is right around the corner and time for you to think about what color blazer you need to add in your closet to look sharp. The modern preppy look is in this summer so it is time to embrace the trend for all things smart. You don’t need to go out and buy a whole suit for this look, even though some Seersucker suits may do the trick. However, what we suggest is that you get some minimalist separates and mix them up with color and texture for a thoroughly modern approach, and these 5 blazers are sure to finish the look without
breaking your bank.
1. Tuition Blazer from ALLSAINTS.COM
This fully lined, single breasted, charcoal tailored fit jacket works well this summer over light colored jeans to pull off a casual look. Summer is all about looking good and feeling casual. We picked this blazer because it’s the everyday neutral color you can wear and still look normal. The Tuition Blazer has been made using fine Italian cloth developed using artisan finishing techniques to create its distinct two-tone effect and has been lined using a vintage inspired cotton stripe. Pick it up for $479.
2. Marc by Marc Jacobs Bauhaus Blazer from MRPORTER.COM
Since we are keeping it safe for a while we also thought you should consider this diverse slim-fit blazer to pull off any casual outfit with panache. Cut from hard-wearing cotton-twill, this piece will serve as an ideal everyday cover-up thanks to the easily coordinated light brown hue. Team it with a chambray shirt, rolled up pants and pop the collar to reveal its contrasting navy underside, or wear it over any chino colored short for a modern preppy look. Pick it up for $700.
3. Oxford Blazer from ZARA.COM
This summer replace that navy blazer for this light blue oxford blazer. Pair it with a white poplin shirt or printed shirt and some turned-up white jeans for a summery refresh look. This is just the beginning of what is to come this summer, and you should have the confidence to wear something like this because the blazer is still blue. Pick it up for $159.
4. Pink Mario Heritage Blazer from TOPMAN.COM
Add color and style to your wardrobe this summer and spice things up with this pink herringbone heritage fit blazer. We were about to suggest an actual pastel pink blazer but you are lucky we didn’t. Even though you can opt for that too, we thought this color is much better because it also comes across as red and it’s more versatile. You can wear this blazer during the day with a white t-shirt and pair of khaki shorts and at night with a pair of black slacks and black shirt to become Mr. Suave. Pick it up for $162.
5. Blazer with contrasting Lapel from ZARA.COM
This is how you know summer is here, when you are actually wearing your white blazer. However, we decided to get formal here and suggest this blazer with contrasting lapel. You can dress it down with a pair of jeans, shorts and t-shirt or dress it up with white slacks/chinos, white shirt and bow-tie and get ready for your all white party in The Hamptons. Pick it up for $189.
