Summer Blazer

June 7, 2016

Whether it's for work or for play, a lightweight blazer is a summertime style staple. And for good reason. Like a good diver watch, it's a wardrobe workhorse that allows you to feel cool and comfortable while looking put together. There's an inherent ease to the jacket, which makes for some nice casual pairings that have a sharp, continental swagger—from relaxed chambray shirts to streamlined polos or a featherweight henley. Herewith, a roadmap for how to mix up your blazer looks this summer.
