Summer Trend: White Blazers

A blazer is one of the most essential pieces of clothing a person can own and the white blazer is a must-have for the summer. Put your black blazer away until the fall and take a summer fashion cue from Sarah Jessica Parker, Rihanna, and Gwyneth Paltrow. All three fashionistas have been spotted in white blazers in the past couple of months.

You can wear the snow-colored jacket over a sundress for an office appropriate look. Pair it with a tank top and a pair of skinny jeans for a casual night out. Or, slip it over a cocktail dress to keep off the chill when the temps drop in the evening. Just promise me that you will wear it with a bottom. Rihanna can go pantless on stage, but walking down the street with your assets out isn’t cute.
