These smart boyfriend blazers are ideal for right now

By Yay Cork August 3, 2019August 2, 2019

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.
