Article (news)

<p><em>Welcome to the latest installment of&nbsp;</em>Metro.Style<em>&#39;s shopping edit: <strong>Metro Luxe &amp; Less</strong>, a weekly series that pairs luxury fashion with its more accessible counterparts, showing you how to achieve the same look and feel across varying price points.</em></p><div><br></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 960px; display: block;" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775636990189BANNER.png" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960" alt="Metro Luxe & Less: The Summer Blazer, written by Carla Buyo"><span class="fr-inner">Metro Luxe &amp; Less: The Summer Blazer</span></span></span></div><div><br></div><p>Just because it&rsquo;s summer doesn&rsquo;t mean you have to give up on outerwear and structured pieces altogether. Sometimes during summertime, it&rsquo;s easier to dress less, but there&rsquo;s something far more compelling about holding onto a sense of polish even in the heat.</p><div><br></div><p>Enter the summer blazer: a piece that feels almost subversive this time of year. It&rsquo;s outerwear, yes, but reimagined. It&rsquo;s lighter, looser, and entirely in step with the season. Think of it as an extra layer and more as a finishing gesture. Linen and canvas lead the conversation, while the palette shifts to sun-washed tones like chalky whites, soft beige, pale citrus, and muted rose. As for construction, linings are stripped back, silhouettes relaxed, and details like venting or subtle cutouts do the quiet work of keeping things breezy.</p><div><br></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 960px; display: block;" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775631192994RUNWAY.png" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"><span class="fr-inner">The summer blazer on the runway: The Attico Spring 2026 and Ferrari Spring 2026</span></span></span></div><div><br></div><p>When it comes to styling, there&rsquo;s a lot of freedom here. Button it up and wear nothing underneath but a bra top or a bikini for evening. Or treat it as you would any trusted blazer by layering it over a tank top or a slip dress.&nbsp;</p><div><br></div><div><strong>Celebrities</strong></div><div><br></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 960px; display: block;" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775632976807[image] - 7237267.jpeg" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"><span class="fr-inner">Gwyneth Paltrow wearing a summer blazer | Photos from @gwynethpaltrow and @maxmara on Instagram</span></span></span></div><div><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 960px; display: block;" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775633041646BANNERS (71).png" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"><span class="fr-inner">Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in a summer blazer | Photos from @rosiehw on Instagram</span></span></span></div><p>For style inspiration, look to Gwyneth Paltrow and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley. Gwyneth leans into effortlessness as she wears her summer blazer with a matching pair of trousers from MaxMara. Rosie, on the other hand, loves to dress up and dress down her summer blazers for a classic model off-duty look.</p><div><br></div><div style="text-align: left;"><a href="https://www.net-a-porter.com/en-ph/shop/product/max-mara/clothing/blazers/double-breasted-linen-blazer/46376663163002867" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Luxe Pick: MaxMara Double-Breasted Linen Blazer</strong></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><strong><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 960px; display: block;" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775631635556LUXE PICK.png" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"><span class="fr-inner">MaxMara Double-Breasted Linen Blazer | P167,000</span></span></span></strong></div><p>If there&rsquo;s a piece that encapsulates the idea of a summer blazer perfectly, it&rsquo;s the Double-Breasted Linen Blazer from MaxMara. It carries the codes of classic tailoring but tempers them with the breathability of linen. The double-breasted front adds a sense of authority, while the fabric keeps it grounded for summer. Worn with relaxed trousers and loafers, it feels sharp but never rigid.&nbsp;</p><div><br></div><div><a href="https://www2.hm.com/en_ph/productpage.1334534001.html" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank"><strong>The Smart Find: H&amp;M Linen-Blend Double-Breasted Blazer</strong></a></div><div><strong><span class="fr-img-caption fr-fic fr-dib" style="width: 960px; display: block;" width="960"><span class="fr-img-wrap"><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/1775631679796LESS PICK.png" style="width: 960px;" class="fr-fic fr-dib" width="960"><span class="fr-inner">H&amp;M Linen-Blend Double-Breasted Blazer | P3,490</span></span></span></strong></div><div><br></div><p>For a more accessible take, H&amp;M offers a linen-viscose iteration that captures the same spirit. Slightly softer in construction, it trades stiffness for movement, making it ideal for everyday wear. Notched lapels and flap pockets keep it rooted in classic tailoring, while the fabric blend makes sure it drapes with ease. It&rsquo;s the kind of blazer you reach for without overthinking. Style this over a sundress or pair it with tailored shorts for the city.</p><div><br></div><p>Read more <em>Metro Luxe &amp; Less&nbsp;</em>stories on <a href="https://metro.style/fashion" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Metro.Style</a></p>
