Which Type Of Blazer Is Best For Summer?

The best type of men's summer blazer depends on your personal style, the occasions you'll be wearing it for, and your comfort preferences. Aim for lightweight, breathable materials to stay cool and comfortable in the heat.

What Is A Summer Blazer?

A Summer Blazer is a lightweight, unlined jacket designed to be worn during warmer weather, specifically the summer season. It's a versatile piece of clothing that will add a touch of sophistication to your casual or semi-formal look.

Our Twillory Summer Blazer is made with dynamic 4-way stretch, hyper breathable, 360° Airflow Performance fabric, which is 85% Polyamide / 15% Spandex. It's non-iron and machine washable. It has a zippered internal pocket, a sunglasses pocket and is double vented. Its proprietary 3D shoulder pads give it a structured look that is more flattering than many styles of summer jackets.

Is A Blazer Too Hot For Summer?

Wearing a traditional men’s blazer in the peak of summer might not be the best option due to its potential to trap heat and feel too hot. But a men's blazer doesn't have to be too hot for summer if you choose a blazer made of 360° Airflow Performance fabric. Also consider what you'll be wearing underneath it. Pair it with a moisture-wicking shirt like our Twillory performance tee  that can help manage sweat and heat, keeping you cool and comfortable all day.

What Is The Difference Between Summer And Winter Blazer?

The main differences between men's summer and winter blazers lie in their fabrics, weight, and design features, which are tailored to the seasons. Here's a breakdown::

Summer Blazer:

Fabric: Summer blazers are typically made from lightweight and breathable materials like cotton, linen, seersucker, or blends. These fabrics allow for better air circulation and help keep you cool in warm weather. 

Weight: Summer blazers are lighter in weight compared to their winter counterparts. The goal Is to provide comfort without causing overheating.

Lining: Many summer blazers are partially or completely unlined to enhance breathability and reduce their overall weight.

Colors and Patterns: Light Summer Blazers often feature lighter and brighter colors, as well as more playful patterns like seersucker stripes or lighter check patterns.

Details: Buttons on summer blazers might be made of materials like mother-of-pearl or lighter horn, contributing to the overall lightweight and casual feel.

Winter Blazer:

Fabric: Winter blazers are constructed from heavier fabrics like wool or wool blends, which offer insulation and warmth.

Weight: These blazers are heavier than summer ones, providing protection against cold weather.

Lining: Winter blazers usually have a full or partial lining to provide extra insulation and protection against the cold.

Colors and Patterns: Winter blazers often feature deeper, darker colors and more subdued patterns that align with the season's aesthetics.

Details: Buttons on winter blazers might be made of materials like brass or heavier horn, adding to the overall cozy and warm feel.

What Are The Best Fabric Options For Men's Summer Blazers?

Fabric options for men's summer blazers are lightweight, breathable, and comfortable in warm weather. Here are some choices:

360° Airflow Performance fabric: A blazer made out of Performance fabric allows air to circulate around your body, keeping you cooler and more comfortable. And it's non-iron and machine washable. 

Cotton: A cotton blazer is lightweight and breathable, making it a good choice for summer. It provides a polished look without causing excessive heat and is suitable for casual or slightly more formal events.

Linen: Linen is a natural fiber known for its breathability. Linen blazers have a relaxed and textured appearance that works well for casual summer events.

Seersucker: Seersucker is a puckered fabric that promotes air circulation. Seersucker blazers are classic summer choices, often featuring striped patterns.

Blends: Blends of cotton and linen or cotton and silk combine the best of both fabrics, offering breathability and a slightly more refined look.

Are Linen Blazers Suitable For Formal Occasions During The Summer?

Linen blazers are generally not suitable for formal occasions due to their casual texture. While they work for semi-formal settings, for formal events, choose a structured fit. Our Summer Blazer is perfect for more formal occasions. 

How Should A Men's Summer Blazer Fit Compared To Blazers For Other Seasons?

 A loose fit allows air to circulate around your body, keeping you cooler. A summer blazer should be  unstructured with minimal lining. 

Can You Wear A Men's Summer Blazer Casually With Jeans And Shorts?
