The best blazers you need for spring
Words: Gentleman's Journal
A definitive wardrobe essential that needs no introduction, the lightweight blazer has served every discerning gent, from Paul Newman to Sean Connery who have immortalised the iconic image of effortless, gentlemanly style.
And with the new season here, we advise to invest in linen and cotton blazers to keep you cool yet stylish in warmer climates. Easily paired with a t-shirt or Oxford button-down, there’s many ways to wear the trusty blazer. So we’ve listed 4 of the best that will never go out of style…
The two-buttoned blazer
You’ll be surprised that the two-buttoned blazer has its uses outside of the offie. Opt for an unlined, summer-weight woollen or cotton blazer, over a t-shirt or dress shirt and you’re good to go. A useful tip gentlemen, contrast your chinos or shorts to really finesse effortless, summer style.

The linen blazer
The linen blazer has established itself as a gentleman’s summer style essential, and in recent times, we’ve seen Daniel Craig as 007 show us the right way to wear it. And just like linen shirts, the intention with a linen blazer is to let the cut feel relaxed, and not fitted – after all, you need to stay cool.
