These smart boyfriend blazers are ideal for right now

Brought to you by Opera Lane.
Our summer dresses have barely had an outing this season.
With the weather forecast offering a mixed bag of warm temperatures and frequent showers, it’s time for a style re-think for August.
The best bet is to borrow from the boys with a selection of ice cream coloured tailoring, the wardrobe essential for minimum styling and maximum impact.

BLAZE A TRAIL
River Island just dropped a selection of tasty options, all with matching shorts or trousers. These blazers are a bargain at €65.
The matching shorts are the final piece of the puzzle at €35, both in-store at River Island on Opera lane right now.

There’s a choice of colours to choose from (including a stunning neutral beige) but there’s something about this baby pink number that’s floating our boat in this dull weather.
OFFICE CHIC
For something a touch more formal, hit Topshop where the Camel Pinstripe Blazer (€89) is teamed with sophisticated long-length shorts (€59) – just add the perfect fitted white tee and some nude heels or brogue flats and you’re all set.

CASUAL CLASSIC
Over at New Look, this Stone Lightweight Blazer (€29.99) is a best seller right now – the shade goes with practically everything. Add mom jeans and a fitted bodysuit to nail the look.

PREPPY PERFECTION
When it comes to blazers, Tommy Hilfiger has been pumping out wardrobe classics since 1979. The Cotton Pinstripe Crest Blazer (€249) is a summer staple you’ll wear year after year; it gives any outfit a varsity edge.
