One surprising anti-summer trend heating up this season? Outerwear. While you'd think that the summer calls for light linen tops and breezy cotton bottoms, fashion people are keeping their boxy blazers and slouchy jackets firmly in their closets this summer. It's tempting to reach for a simple black blazer for every outfit year-round (honestly, we get it!), but with the emergence of warm weather and summer on the horizon, the style set is rethinking the way they're wearing their tried-and-true blazers this summer. From summery, bright whites to neons, here are some of the ways you could style your blazers in the summer. Warning: You might feel an urgency to get your hands on some cool blazers!

Despite high temperatures, this wardrobe staple shouldn’t be ignored. What makes summer blazers different from the rest of your suit jackets is that these styles come in lightweight fabrics or have precisely placed cutouts. And instead of heavy plaids, checks, or houndstooth, these styles are offered in an easy summery colour palette.

How and what you decide to wear underneath is also up to you – For those who want to elevate a look for a night out, consider sporting it with your favourite vintage denim, a strappy heeled sandal, and jewellery. For something a bit more modest (but that still reads stylish and summer-ready), layer one over a sundress or a tank paired with a skirt, and trousers – just like you would with your fall and winter-friendly blazers.

Not to mention, a lightweight fabric blazer is an ideal transitional piece for summer into fall, especially if you’re looking to pick up a polished piece that can be used through the latter half of the year too.
