When the weather gets hot, the last thing you want to think about is covering up, but no matter how sweltering the sun, it's still easy to miss the versatility of your favorite go-to blazers. But just because a blazer requires sleeves and an extra layer doesn't mean it's too sweaty to rock in the summertime. Lightweight linen styles are here to save the season and bring you your favorite tailored styles that will carry you through the warmer months when you still want to incorporate a little sophistication into your tee-and-shorts routine without too much coverage. Go for a slouchy, casual-cool boyfriend-inspired style like this chic Michael Kors Ruched Linen Blazer or this Madewell Film School Blazer to layer over a fitted tank and mini skirt or your favorite short summer dress. For something more tailored and fitted, maintain a little texture with something shrunken and summer-fab like this Vince Blazer, or go bold and metallic for a stand-out night out with this Elizabeth and James Emery Blazer!
