Just because it’s hot outside doesn’t mean you can’t look cool.

As much as I don’t want to accept it, the time has come for buildings everywhere to start blasting the A/C. If you, like me, are someone who runs cold, chances are you’re looking for an easy layer to take on and off as you move in and out of your home, the office, the coffee shop...wherever. Well, I have just the thing: summer blazers. Much like your oversized denim jackets or lightweight knits, this warm-weather staple will give you the extra layer you need without compromising your best summer outfits (and I don’t need to tell you how it’ll instantly add polish to any of them, either).
When you think of summer blazers women actually want to wear, odds are you think of linen styles—and there are plenty on this list. However, they aren’t the only version of the tailored jacket you can sport during the season’s dog days. There are seersucker styles, lightweight wool options, and others to choose from as well. The best part? They’ll go seamlessly with your everyday go-tos, like comfortable summer sandals or classic white sneakers—along with your new favorite summer tops and dresses. Ahead, shop the best summer blazers to wear all season long.
Who doesn’t love a boxy, oversized option that looks like you bought it from the men’s section? (Also a good idea, by the way.) Plus, I simply love this color—don’t you? Of course, it’s also available in white, striped gray, and olive green.
An easy, breezy, and casually cool blazer for under $40? Sign me up.
Whether you wear this with the matching top or not, you’re bound to get compliments on this lightweight green option from Madewell.
The boxy fit will look just as good with your favorite trousers or jeans as it will with a silky slip dress or a denim midi skirt. The world is your oyster with this one.
The name of this blazer says it all: you’ll be wearing this year-round—truly.
Nothing feels more apt for summer than gingham, am I right?
There’s something about this cut and fit (open, buttonless, etc.) that makes it a more casual blazer than others, rendering it ideal for pretty much any occasion.
This beautiful wool and linen style from the editor-approved brand Totême can be summed up in one word: classic.
Another major summer material? Seersucker. You’ll fall completely in love with this luxurious textured style from Akris Punto. Trust me.
Acne Studios Cropped Double-Breasted Satin-Trimmed Floral-Print Canvas Blazer
A cute crop, a chic print, and some exaggerated lapels? Yes, yes, yes.
The subtle color on this check-print blazer is perfect for those who want to add a pop to their otherwise minimal summer outfits without stepping too far out of their comfort zone.
Banana Republic Linen-Cotton Double Breasted Blazer
I love the idea of wearing this with a classic white T-shirt and a pair of jeans. Or maybe a racerback tank top and biker shorts. The choice is yours.
