Yes, we hate wearing suit jackets as much as anyone during humid summer days. If you work for a living, though, chances are, the need to put on a more formal business outfit will present itself sooner than later, so you might as well be ready. And you can’t be more ready than having J.Crew’s Ludlow Summerweight Blazer waiting in the closet.
A warm-weather version of J.Crew’s staple blazer design, it comes in an ultra-lightweight material that allows this garment to become the outfit’s lightest blazer ever. Simply put, it’s designed to not weigh you down like traditional suit jackets, making for a piece that you can comfortably wear all throughout the summer.
The J.Crew Ludlow Summerweight Blazer is an unstructured blazer cut in a highly-breathable cotton-linen blend sourced from Portugal’s Somelos mill. Like any proper unstructured jacket, it comes with no canvas layers, no interior lining, and no paddings, making it a whole lot more comfortable to wear during the hotter days of the year. Don’t worry, it still retains a formal aesthetic that would make it suitable for wearing during weddings, business meetings, and job interviews, with a trim and modern cut that should blend well with any contemporary business attire.
Features include a two-button closure, a notch lapel, pick-stitching along key areas (collar, lapel, and pockets), non-functional buttons on the cuffs, and dual vents. It comes in five summer-friendly colors.
Available now, the J.Crew Ludlow Summerweight Blazer is priced at $168.
