There’s nothing like a blazer to add polish and sophistication to an outfit. Whether you’re looking to wear yours with a midi dress to work or to spruce up a simple jeans-and-tee combo, there are plenty of ultra-chic options for every occasion this summer. Trade your dark gray checks and heavy tweeds for some lighter and brighter alternatives that will keep you cool in the summer heat, such as this pretty pastel topper or white linen find. Alternatively, wear your trusty black blazer with denim shorts and a white tee to exude a nonchalant cool-girl aesthetic.

Ahead, we turn to our favorite fashion muses for endless inspiration on how to style our blazers for the summer months ahead.

A lightweight cream or white linen blazer looks casual yet sophisticated while keeping you cool in the sweltering summer heat. Pair with matching pants or a pleated midi skirt.

Summer is all about bright and bold colors. Opt for a vibrant orange blazer and keep the rest of your look sleek in clean whites and neutrals.

Trade your dark gray blazer for a pop of pink instead. Combine with streamlined accessories in classic black.

Sporty meets sparkly. Elevate a neutral beige blazer with sequins for a cool-girl look. Wear sneakers for that added edge.

From desk to drinks in style. Swap dark plaid for a peppy pink instead. Wear with a silky skirt and slick white kitten heels.
