Sorry, Denim—These Are the 5 Summer Blazer Trends to Have on Your Radar for 2026
From linen to oversized, scroll on to discover the five summer blazer trends for 2026.
If there’s one capsule wardrobe piece that’s wildly underestimated when it comes to summer dressing, it’s a blazer. Often associated with cooler months or office dressing, it’s not often an item that's reached for in summer. While we’re in a phase of the weather changing by the day, it’s not cold enough for a jacket but still a bit too chilly for bare arms, so I’ve been reaching for a blazer almost every day.
Refining that balance between ease, comfort and style, the blazer ticks every box and is a wardrobe staple fashion people return to time and time again. Whether you opt for an oversized style for a more casual yet cool finish, or instead a lighter fabric such as a linen, there are a number of different looks that can be achieved.
Its versatility really is unmatched; worn layered over dresses, broderie anglaise blouses, with shorts or capri pants, it gives it a summer-ready refresh and seamlessly elevates any look. It’s a piece you’ll wear for years to come and totally comes down to personal preference and what sort of look you’re trying to create.
I’ve rounded up five of my favourite summer blazer trends for 2026, so scroll on to see exactly how to incorporate them into your own wardrobe over the next few months.
1. Linen Blazer
Style Notes: Nothing says summer dressing quite like linen. Lightweight and breathable, a linen blazer brings a more relaxed approach to tailoring while still giving that polished finish. I love how Annabel [pictured above] has styled hers with a boxer short and cap to keep that cool girl aesthetic.
Shop the Trend:
This dusky pink is irresistible.
I love this paired with the matching shorts.
A collarless option doesn't have to look too casual.
A summer staple.
Navy gives a softer finish than black, especially in summer.
Such a gorgeous addition to any summer wardrobe.
2. Black Blazer
Style Notes: Timeless tailoring is having its moment and there’s nothing more classic than a black blazer. It’s a style that never dates and is one I usually tend to pair with denim or a romantic dress to give a refined, contrasting look.
Shop the Trend:
A classic black blazer is so worth the investment, you'll keep it in your wardrobe for years to come.

3. Pinstripe Blazer
Style Notes: A classic print in blazer terms, the pinstripe is a traditional pattern that makes any outfit feel instantly polished. Its subtle stripes bring interest to an outfit without overpowering the entire look, and can easily achieve effortless chic instead of corporate.
Shop the Trend:
I love this entire suit.
Navy is a great alternative to black in summer.
This has a more defined silhouette.
This has a more relaxed feel.
Summer whites are a firm fashion favourite.
I adore this soft blue.
4. Cream Blazer
Style Notes: While a black blazer holds a special place in my heart, when it comes to summer, I want something softer. Not one for bright colours, a cream blazer is my go-to alternative—not as crisp as white, but still just as versatile and cool for summer.
Shop the Trend:
Don't be afraid to pair cream and white together.
A three-piece suit is just so chic.
Reiss are known for their high-quality tailoring.
Ideal for a night out, pair with jeans and a strappy heeled sandal and you're set.

5. Oversized Blazer
Style Notes: Relaxed silhouettes continue to dominate the fashion world and an oversized blazer is a fashion editor favourite. Worn over a more romantic look such as a broderie anglaise or silk dress, it gives a strong chic, contrasting finish.
Shop the Trend:
I have a couple of blazers from Nanushka and I get so much wear out of them.
Zara is such a high-street gem for blazers.
A brown blazer is the backbone of so many of my outfits.
An investment style you'd get so much wear out of.
