The best thing about fall is the cooler temperature, which enables you to wear more layers and therefore express your keen fashion sense in many different ways. However, the same layering ability can be utilized right now, even though the summer temps are mad high. How? With the lightweight blazer! These jackets without the traditional lining are a perfect way to take advantage of the layered aesthetic of fall without overheating. The best part is, the splashes of summer’s brighter shades are not only ok, but absolutely encouraged! Let’s begin…
Day:
Sir YES SIR! This military blazer is super light which is perfect for summer, yet gives just enough substance to the outfit. Perfect now and underneath the peacoat coming in fall!
During the day, I like to pair my light blazers with a lighter (or, if going pastel, brighter) color like this pink check. Make sure you keep the shirt solid or if going patterned, keep the pattern tight like this one.
Night:
This black cotton blazer is mad light and perfect for rolling the sleeves in the event of a warmer summer night.
For the night, swap the khaki colored blazer for a black or charcoal one (of the same light weight material), and change the shirt to one like this plum. Dark. Dangerous. Dapper.
Only dark wash denim is acceptable. Day or night. Leave the light wash in the closet.
Black and white understated kicks. They’re beautiful and perfectly highlight any lightweight blazer in any color. Rock some supras like these (or those sexy skytops), some pro-keds, or something similar and you’re set. Day or night.
The accessories are up to you but use them to nicely throw splashes of boldness into the ensemble. The light blazer is a great way to maintain the layered aesthetic of the cooler seasons right now when the temperatures are higher. Creativity is always encouraged so let’s light up the summer baby!
I’ve got to get my man in some indigo jeans.
They’re a must!
