Wardrobe Basics: A Black Blazer Styled for Summer
Is there anything as iconic as a chic blazer? Linen or crepe, single or double-breasted style. Dressed up over a shirt for work. Casual with a white tee for the weekend. Or popped over pants, jeans, dresses, or shorts. Yep, that’s the hard-working blazer. It goes with anything and everything. Today, I am featuring A Black Blazer Styled for Summer.
I suggest black or navy if you are building your wardrobe and need one iconic blazer. J.Crew, Talbots, Ralph Lauren, and Banana Republic all make well-constructed timeless blazers. If you want a high-end blazer with lots of styling options, then invest in the Veronica Beard Dickey Blazer. It offers zip-in dickeys that transform the blazer with denim, cashmere, and knit options. After a black or blue blazer is hanging in your closet, pick one in your favorite color, a linen blazer for summer, houndstooth for fall and winter, and I always recommend a tweed blazer that can be worn year-round.

Today, I reached for my trusty black blazer with brass buttons from Banana Republic, who always delivers with their blazers.

Halter Top
(Talbots)
A halter top from Talbots in paisley print with a feminine bow in the back lends a hint of sophistication. Wear it with white denim for a casual chic outfit or paired with black crepe shorts from J.Crew that are perfect for vacation or a casual evening out.

Accessories
Sandals are always a good choice this time of year but I opted for cap toe ballet flats for a subtle yet sophisticated addition. And for a little wow factor a metallic handbag does the trick.

In Case You Missed It

The black blazer outfit is so cute! You look adorable in it!
And you seem to be looking younger in these shots; not that you looked old. Maybe it’s the more swept-up hairdo.
All very cute. I love the neutrals you’ve been showing lately. Wish I wore black as well as you do!
We occasionally watch Wheel of Fortune. Last night, Pat Sajak’s daughter was featured at the end of the show, and she had on an ivory blazer with matching city shorts. I thought of you immediately!
