The New Season Blazers Redefining the Category—Shop Linen, Embellished Updated Silhouettes

Business codes have come a long way from the classic suit and tie. They’ve surpassed archaic gender norms and roles, becoming a staple category for women as a whole. While Saint Laurent’s spring/summer 2025 show challenged us to embrace androgyny and volume, the season’s crop of blazer offerings feature more than just an oversized frame. There’s an unexpectedly perky, feminine, and inviting tone to the jacket styles on our wish lists, especially considering how the lengthy the double-breasted boxy blazer’s reign has been.

Vogue’s Favorite Spring Blazers:

• The Linen Staple: Frame The Grandfather blazer, $698
• The Scoop-Neck Style: Aligne Daphne scoop neck linen blazer, $245
• The Cropped Option: Mango structured cropped blazer, $160
• The Sculpted Find: Proenza Schouler Lark wool-blend blazer, $1,790
• The Leather Pick: Massimo Dutti fitted leather blazer, $490
• The Sleek Stripe: Dries Van Noten pinstriped wool-blend blazer, $1,855
• The Perfect Pink: J.Crew Alexandra blazer, $198
• The Fresh Floral: Rosie Assoulin floral cloqué tulip-sleeve blazer, $1,595
• The Belted Best Bet: Zara linen-blend blazer, $160

Plenty of new silhouettes have emerged for the season, from Proenza Schouler’s hourglass shape (which looks so delicious over crisp shirting) to the asymmetric cut of a Bite Studios blazer and the contoured waist of Wardrobe.NYC’s tailored blazer. Haven’t you heard? Waists are back—and we’re showing them off with cropped blazers and ladylike jackets from The Garment and Simkhai. The hemlines look contemporary when coupled with high-rise pleated trousers, suede sneakers, or even a track pant. And although linen is nothing new, there are modernized shapes cast from the summer-ready fabric. There are single fold-over necklines from Loulou de Saison, padded shoulders from Posse, and scoop-neck styles from Aligne.

All of these fresh finds, and more of the best spring blazers, that can—and will—breathe new life into your warm-weather wardrobe.

Signature shapes, like double-breasted, single-button styles, are getting a makeover this spring.

Creative Crafting

There are ways to embrace the new styles of now without completely foregoing the classic shapes and hues. In fact, the coolest embellished blazers count on a foundation of go-to silhouettes. Case in point, look at Plan C’s double-breasted blazer, adorned with sequins and fringe. Or, check out Rosie Assoulin for floral sleeves, and Zimmermann for an allover lace detail that screams, “It’s finally nice out!”
