On the other hand, thin knit blazers are perfect (I have one in red).&nbsp;<br /><br />I also found that the most versatile white topper for me is something cropped (I have a cropped white denim jacket) because it works better with dresses. &nbsp;I like regular style blazers with pants but my summer pants last year were mostly white jeans so I preferred different color blazers.&nbsp;<br /><br />So I guess it depends on what the rest of your summer wardrobe looks like. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926333 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:38:59 +0000 Mo 926333@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yep - been searching a few years now. &nbsp;No luck with finding just what I want. &nbsp;I do have a crop white cotton denim-like jacket that gets plenty of use in the meantime, though. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926328 Mon, 06 May 2013 20:35:03 +0000 Dana 926328@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought an off white linen blazer, unlined, in Paris a few years ago. I hadn't worn it all that much, but I think my dry cleaners stretched it out a bit. It's at the tailor right now, and I have grand plans for it! </p> <p>Diana looks so cute in hers with the jeans. I think I'll have to get some new cropped jeans and copy cat her! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926157 Mon, 06 May 2013 17:46:39 +0000 annagybe 926157@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Had to laugh at Angie's lab coat comment. I want an oversized white blazer. There was one by Acne that I wanted, but my size seems to sold out. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926151 Mon, 06 May 2013 17:44:15 +0000 Ingunn 926151@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It seems that white blazers are close to the style personas of a lot of fabbers. I'm not surprised - it is a versatile and classic piece. Thank you all for sharing your thoughts on this subject!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926128 Mon, 06 May 2013 17:29:49 +0000 Parsley 926128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ For me a white blazer is a summer essential. I have (gulp) three of them! And a white denim jacket. And I wear them all. They're different lengths and degrees of dressiness, so I don't consider it duplicating- or at least that's how I rationalize it. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926102 Mon, 06 May 2013 17:01:30 +0000 unfrumped 926102@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ For me yes but not white-white--cream colors, natural linen-y colors work better but this is a complexion and wardrobe color palette issue, so it's the same idea.<br />I have 3 in different styles &amp; fabrications and need to remember, no more until time to replace. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926101 Mon, 06 May 2013 16:55:05 +0000 Suz 926101@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ For your climate, I think it would be ideal. For mine, a little less -- I have a white denim jacket that I love, but in our summers it is often too hot to wear it, so it is more a spring item for me. Even so, I am considering adding a dressier white topper to my wardrobe as well.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926020 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:07:37 +0000 Jjsloane 926020@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I live in blazers for work so of course I have several white ones in my closet. I have a schoolboy with black piping, a white denim (blazer style) and a basic white blazer. I wore my one last year to death and plan to again. I think it would work very well with your style ingunn. OH I also have several cream/ivory ones too.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926019 Mon, 06 May 2013 15:01:20 +0000 milehighstyle (Linda) 926019@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oh, yes - I love my white toppers - white denim jacket, white blazer, white tuxedo jacket.&nbsp; Not only for summer, but I love them in the spring and early fall as well.&nbsp; I actually find them to be more versitile than black (for me anyway). https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926015 Mon, 06 May 2013 14:52:52 +0000 Carole 926015@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an off white linen type blazer that I never wore last year, but love it and plan to wear this year. Thanks for the reminder. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926014 Mon, 06 May 2013 14:46:41 +0000 Angie 926014@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thumbs up! You just have to be careful that it doesn't feel or look like a lab coat.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-926005 Mon, 06 May 2013 14:25:39 +0000 texstyle 926005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a very light weight slub cotton "blazer" style topper that I wore a lot last summer and have started wearing this year as well. I would like a slightly more structured one but it has to be very light weight for me, unlined, and not linen because I can't live with the wrinkling. These restrictions have made it hard to find one. <br /><br />I find blazers in white, navy, tan&nbsp;and charcoal grey to be real spring/summer workhorses for me. I almost bought a brighter pink shade myself but decided I'm really more of a neutral lover and can only wear bright color in small pops at a time. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925998 Mon, 06 May 2013 14:19:47 +0000 Sarah A 925998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes yes yes! I think a white topper/blazer is super. I have three white toppers (leather, blazer, short trench) and although they are each a little different and they are all staying in the closet! ( ... reminding me to mend the lost button on the blazer and wear it this week.... )<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925996 Mon, 06 May 2013 14:15:39 +0000 Missey 925996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I just bought a white blazer for the summer...it's very casual twill and I love it.&nbsp; The color is "sailcloth" so it is not bight white.&nbsp; I have a hankering for a very crisp white one too, however, I do not lead a crisp white life!&nbsp; I think a white blazer would be a great edition to your classic wardrobe.&nbsp; <br /><br /><a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/76376?feat=785-GN1&amp;page=washed-twill-blazer" rel="nofollow">http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop.....ill-blazer</a><br /><br /><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925995 Mon, 06 May 2013 14:14:01 +0000 Thistle 925995@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am on the lookout for one as i think it would be a staple especially in arctic AC. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925988 Mon, 06 May 2013 14:02:40 +0000 Sara L. 925988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a 3/4 sleeve unlined white blazer that I wear in the summer for an extra layer that makes some summer dresses and tees/tanks work appropriate. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925987 Mon, 06 May 2013 14:01:28 +0000 shedev 925987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I dont have a white blazer but I do have a white knit jacket that functions as the blazer in my casual life. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925977 Mon, 06 May 2013 13:46:15 +0000 Transcona Shannon 925977@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I had a white blazer on my spring/summer wish list but have yet to find what I'm looking for. I'm now wondering if I even need it. I have my white leather jacket for cooler days and a white denim jacket as well.&nbsp;<br /><br />But I'm still yearning for a longer almost boyfriend style white blazer. Not too structured.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925973 Mon, 06 May 2013 13:42:26 +0000 Mona 925973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think white blazer would be a workhorse in my wardrobe. I am on the lookout for one. I currently own a white denim jacket which i wear a lot in spring/summer https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925972 Mon, 06 May 2013 13:42:23 +0000 jenanded 925972@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes! I regret buying the pink rather than a white blazer&nbsp;last summer... I also find a light cream colour wonderful - I can throw it on over a black column and it can bear a few more marks/dust than white at a long day at the office... I did just acquire a(nother) white denim jacket as well... The secret for all is finding something that doesnt counteract everything by having a hot polyester lining... and which can wash a lot - well I am in humid climate so ability to wash frequently is paramount! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925969 Mon, 06 May 2013 13:37:44 +0000 Diana 925969@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I have a white blazer that I wear a lot in the summer and I've even worn the blazer in winter as a sort of winter white thing even though it's a summery fabrication (lightweight and unlined).&nbsp; It has a little bit of blush ruffle at the bottom so it's more flirty than businessy.&nbsp; It works for both casual and more dressy summer outfits.&nbsp; I don't wear a lot of white bottoms (I have one skirt, but that's it) so I like to have something white on top (the blazer or my denim jacket) to make things more summery.&nbsp; <br /><br />Anyway, I think for maximum flexibility you need something that is lightweight and breathable.&nbsp; I'd say a light linen or cotton (or blends with these fibers) in a woven fabrication is best.&nbsp; <br /><br />ETA: photo<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925966 Mon, 06 May 2013 13:35:35 +0000 Anonymous 925966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think a white blazer would be pretty versatile too!

I need more jackets due to our cool weather and I think toppers can make outfits interesting. I think you might get some good wear from a white blazer. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer---a-summer-staple#post-925955 Mon, 06 May 2013 13:17:44 +0000 Ingunn 925955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We all know that a black blazer very well could be the most versatile jacket in your wardrobe, particularly for a modern classic style. How about the white blazer? Is it a wardrobe essential, too? I'm interested in your views on the white blazer - do you have one? Why/why not? How often do you wear it and with what? </p>
