How to Wear Your Summer Blazer July 31, 2017July 28, 2017 Mo Mulchandani Whether it’s classic single-breasted, slim-fit, or silk lined, a blazer is a staple item in every man’s wardrobe. But looking for a summer blazer can be a chore, particularly if you don’t know what you’re looking for. Luckily for you, summer presents a host of options, in terms of style, lining, color and fabric. To help make your decision a little easier, we’ve put together a short guide on how you can wear your summer blazer and look stylish whatever the occasion. Fancy Wedding Blazer Weddings are not only expensive for the bride and groom but the guests too. If you want to look the part in those photos, it’s worth splurging a little more. The good news is, you can make the most out of your blazer and wear it again and again since the more you spend, the more durable it will be. We recommend a wool or cashmere blazer in a smart color like grey or blue. Probably best to avoid black though unless you want to match the groom. Weekend Barbecue Blazer When the sun is blazing and the barbecue is sizzling, you want to keep as cool as possible, and there’s no better summer material than linen. One of the problems with linen is that it creases easily, which is why it’s a great choice for staying home or going to a friend’s house, as opposed to going on vacation. Pair with shorts to keep things relaxed and add some suede or canvas slip-ons to complete the outfit. After Work Drinks Blazer What’s better than leaving the office early on a Friday afternoon to enjoy some patio drinks? If you want to look the part while keeping cool, we recommend opting for a lightweight blazer. To keep it casual, pastel blazers are ideal, and you can choose to match your suit pants or to dress down with jeans. The Birthday Blazer There’s no better reason to look the part than your birthday. Special occasions like these call for something a little more buttoned up, like a slim-fit single-breasted blazer. Pair with your best shirt and pants, and if you want to go all out, you could even add a colorful tie. Neutral colors like beige, white and navy are ideal, or if you really want to get heads turning, why not opt for a yellow or pink? What is your favorite blazer occasion? We want to hear from you!
