BLAZER TRAIL IN WHITE

If you buy one thing this month, make it this brilliant tailored jacket – it’s the answer to your closet dilemmas

Is there a gap in your closet for a versatile jacket that signals summer while also looking smart? Then enter the tailored white blazer. Equal parts chic and cool, the crisp shade shouts confident style, while the clean lines make it appropriate for work or weekend. Slip on over a Breton top with jeans for lunch with friends, or add a red satin slip dress for a more elevated off-duty outfit. If you need to up the ante, team with wide-leg white trousers to tap into this season’s suiting trend – it’s the quickest way to look the business at all your summer events.
