The transition from summer to fall may be one of the hardest when it comes to clothing. September is full of days where it’s in the 60s in the morning but will hit near 80 by mid-afternoon. How do you even dress for that? Well, get a comfortable outfit for the heat and top it with a blazer. Blazers may seem like a cool-weather staple, but if you treat them more like outwear during the beginning of fall, they will serve you well.
The Italian GoWeave Classic Blazer, $145 at Everlane: This option is breathable, soft, and sturdy. Made from Everlane’s wrinkle-resistant GoWeave wool, it’s spun in Italy and ready to be worn every day. Choose from a chic black or versatile navy.
Ponte Knit Blazer, $139 at J.Jill: A soft Ponte is always a great option for an everyday blazer. The knit fabric has a touch of stretch and the three-button closure keeps things secure. It’s structured but not stuffy, the perfect outerwear layer.
