This strikes me as a cute and interesting take on the summer jacket. I like the curved hem and the chevron stripes, the slightly off-kilter buttons, and the black satin lining. While I admire the beachy styling here, for the office I’d probably stick with classic shapes in navy or beige — a sheath dress, a pencil skirt, trousers. You could keep a beachy vibe by pairing it with brown accessories and slightly hippie-ish jewelry (I’m thinking a shell necklace, for some reason), but I’d probably take it the other direction and add black accessories with bold pops of color: red, bright purple or yellow, maybe even orange or hot pink. It’s a decent sale: was $395, now $197.50 at The Outnet (limited sizes only, alas). Jagger linen-blend jacket

I’m not normally into the military trend, but something about this blazer just looks fabulous. Love the bit of lining sticking out on the cuffs, placket, and hem (is that satin? silk?) and the color and shape seem flattering and sophisticated. (I suspect it’s on sale because the model’s pose does such a poor job of showing the blazer!) Was $425, now $255 at Bloomingdale’s Winter Sale & Clearance (sizes 0-8 still left).

Happy Splurge Monday! Today, we’re liking this great wool blazer from Elizabeth and James. We like the pleat detail at the hem and at the shoulders, as well as the simple, functional pockets at the hip. We’d wear it with colors other than black — perhaps dark purple trousers and a gray cashmere tee beneath it. It’s $420 at ShopBop, available in sizes 0 through 10.

We’re loving this cropped, fitted blazer, although not in the picture from Shopbop. This kind of blazer is a perfect way to dress up something with a bit more volume — a slightly billowy dress, t-shirt, or tank. The details are what make this blazer worthy of the splurge (to us, at least) — the silk lining, the 5 buttons at the cuffs, the peplum in the back, and the asymetrical hem. Lovely. It’s $385 at Shopbop.com. Elizabeth and James Panama Blazer
