Oversized Blazers: The Summer Staple That’s So Versatile

When it’s too warm for coats and too breezy for bare shoulders, the oversized blazer steps in as the ultimate in-between hero.

It’s the summer style solution that actually works, polished without being stuffy, breathable but still layered, and effortlessly cool with just about anything in your wardrobe.

Whether you’re heading to the office, out for brunch, or just need a chic layer for unpredictable Irish weather, a good blazer adds instant polish without the sweat factor.

Opt for linen or cotton blends to stay cool, and don’t be afraid to size up, the slouchier, the better! Rolled sleeves, strong shoulders, and longer lengths give a relaxed yet structured feel that screams effortless elegance.

From workwear to weekend strolls, the oversized blazer is officially the most versatile piece you can invest in this summer. Consider this your sign to shrug one on and thank yourself later.
