The Blazer & Pant Combo: Gingham Meets Structure

Start with a crisp white blazer—like the Brandon White Blazer—and layer it over a modern strapless top for a playful twist. Paired with tailored gingham pants, this look is equal parts preppy and polished. Finish with block heel sandals and a raffia-accented bag to bring texture and summer ease.

The Blazer & Shorts: Summer Suiting, Reimagined

This linen-blend boyfriend blazer pairs beautifully with its coordinating trouser shorts for a fresh take on summer suiting. A classic linen tank underneath keeps the look breathable. Accessorize with silver fisherman mules or lugsole sandals for edge, and a raffia clutch for natural texture.

Bonus Look: Dress It Up

A strapless linen maxi dress gets an instant upgrade when layered with a structured blazer. Gold accents—like a choker, thong kitten heel sandals, and sleek bracelets—keep it feminine, elegant, and perfect for date night or summer soirées.

    Are gingham blazers still in style? I have a navy gingham blazer from Talbots.

      Oh yes—gingham is having a moment (again), and that navy blazer from Talbots? She’s not retiring anytime soon. Style her with white denim and a tee, or throw her over a dress and call it “coastal CEO.” You’ll look modern, pulled together, and just the right amount of preppy. Fashion may change, but great taste is forever. 😉

    I am a follower of your program and your philosophy on dressing. I am 92 years old and on the heavier side(2xp) but I still love to look good. My question is :when tailoring clothes ,do you have any guide lines? For instance, Where should the sleeves of a jacket end? Wrist bone?First knuckle of thumb? Shoulders:where should the seam of blouses,etc, fall?Are shoulder pads the new trend?Pants: Should crops be at ankle bone and lond pants not have a break? I would love answers to these questions. Details matter!!
