Summer gives you the opportunity to move away from those dull grey suits, dark blazers and heavy jackets and freshen your look up a bit, with warmer colours and lighter materials. It’s all about a relaxed look in the summer and it’s likely your blazer’s going to be un-done so if your buying a new jacket you’re best off going for single breasted with only one or two buttons, this way as long as it’s tailored correctly, it should fall nicely giving that relaxed summer look.

A navy coloured blazer is a safe pick for a summer jacket, making a prefect companion for a pair of light coloured chinos or shorts. You’ve also got an excuse in the summer to experiment with lighter and warmer colours.

Although you can only see a fraction of them, pocket squares can really make a difference to an outfit, try and get the contrast right, match the pocket square with the colour of the shirt or T, another thing to think about is pattern, subtle patterns bring a bit of life to a flat coloured blazer. If your going for a casual, relaxed look, theres no need to fold, shove it in the pocket and let it flair out.
