14 Blazers That Add Instant Polish to Any Look—And Are Worth the Investment
You, too, can be tailored to perfection this spring
The blazer isn't just a perennial in wardrobes but on the catwalks, too, appearing season in, season out. Spring/Summer 2026 was no exception, with some tailoring propositions that were truly worthy of the word "swish".
What more could you want this spring than a wool blazer that's nipped at the waist, rendered in wool and the shade of the ripest plum tomato. That particular specimen cropped up at Loewe, who reminded front-rowers of the blazer's quiet power. It might be less showy than a leather bomber, more formal than last season's ubiquitous barn jacket, but for polish, not to mention pair-with-anything potential, the blazer wins every time.
Loewe SS26
Loewe's juicy take was just one blazer than caught our eye last season. At Celine, simple but perfectly-cut blazers—single-breasted, elongated and fastened by just one button—were paired with barrel-legged jeans, skin-tight trousers and pleat-front chinos, proving our theory that when it comes to a jacket that can go high (office-smart) or low (weekend-ready), it always comes up trumps.
At this season's shows, particular in the blazer capital of Paris, guests were blessed with balmier-than-expected temperatures. The blazer quickly stepped up, with classic iterations appearing on models, press, influencers, you name it, with the styling largely kept simple, unfussy and, reflecting the blazer's number-one character trait, chic.
Perhaps you've already found your perfect blazer (a special kind of PB). Or maybe it's the season to experiment in the world of tailoring, with a single-breasted closure, a sharp shoulder, a cropped silhouette or a different fabrication (linen offers a kind of rumple that's very on point for Spring/Summer 2026). Whatever your situation, a blazer might—ahem, will—improve it.
