When it comes to clothing, the classic blazer is undeniably my fashion weakness. I’m a sucker for a comfortable, well-tailored blazer to quickly throw on and instantly transform a casual day outfit to a professional and sophisticated look. While the neutral dark shades of blacks, blues and greys have always been the traditional “go-to” colours for blazers, the fresh season of summer is the perfect time to break out of the norm and play around with bright colours and prints. Rather than going for the comfortable, monochromatic shades, opt for the lighter-weight blazers with bold, eye-catching patterns. This timeless piece with a daring twist makes a perfect statement piece to compliment a basic, simple outfit. Keeping it fun, casual and refined for the bright summer days, these coloured blazers are a definite must-have in every girl’s closet!
