Come fall, we’ll consider the blazer a wardrobe staple, pairing it with everything from distressed jeans and sneakers to ultra-feminine dresses and heels. With soaring temperatures on the horizon, however, it’s a slightly different story. Our blazers are currently stashed away in the back of our closets – and justifiably so – but today we’re mixing things up and revisiting the idea of wearing a blazer to work every day this week.
Here, Savoir Flair presents five styling tips, perfect for the entire workweek, to help you pull off a blazer during the summer and still look chic.
Sunday
Start off the workweek by masterfully playing with varying layers and lengths. Make sure you opt for light, airy fabrics to stay cool.
Monday
Chase away the Monday blues with a brightly colored blazer in a lightweight fabric, such as linen.
Tuesday
If you’re worried a blazer will feel stuffy for summer, stick to an all-white ensemble like this one worn by street-style star Pernille Teisbaek.
Wednesday
A blazer with cutout details is (quite literally) a cooler way to wear this style during the summer. Pair with other summer staples such as a white top and a pair of jeans – instantly chic.
Thursday
Get into weekend mode by dressing down a blazer with boyfriend jeans and sneakers.
