The blazer; A definitive wardrobe staple that we should not forgo come sunnier months: just update it and opt for a lighter brighter version for the season ahead. A well-tailored blazer is guaranteed to make you feel put together in the most unpredictable weather (current -British Summertime!) or at an unexpected event. It is your one stop transformative piece.

Wear your blazer over a dress to add instant chic or throw over jeans and a white Tee to smarten the look. The cut and length of your blazer is key; for a more relaxed feel go for an oversized/boxy style (size up if need be.) For a preppy stance opt for a more tailored, cinched in waist, creating an instant hourglass silhouette.

Personally, I prefer a slightly oversized, longer piece in beige or cream for summer – worn unbuttoned to keep the look relaxed and if it’s all looking a little too ‘formless’ I simply add a belt around it. The light-weight summer fabrics are more malleable then their winter counter-parts, so go ahead and experiment.

Wear it buttoned, belted or casually draped over your shoulders …your mood…your style…your look… I’ve put together some inspiration below.

For the ultimate juxtapose – mix your comfy joggers, white Tee, converse with your blazer…and you’re good to go.

All the light tones keep this look paired back and relaxed.

Give your evening dresses some longevity by adding some relaxed sporty touches such as the trainers and a soft, striped belt. The classic neutral beige blazer,adds that edge and makes the pieces come together effortlessly.
