M&S’ £59 Linen Blazer is my top buy for the summer – here are three ways to style it
MARKS & SPENCER’S Spring collection has us in a total chokehold – we pretty much added everything that was in stock to our baskets.
One of the popular summer staples, and an item we are particularly fond of, is their new Linen Blazer.
Linen Blend Relaxed Single Breasted Blazer, £59, Marks & Spencer
The Linen Blend Relaxed Single Breasted Blazer is a must-have, which retails for £59 from M&S.
The Linen Blend Blazer comes in a soft natural colourway that will compliment any outfit.
The single-breasted blazer is made from lightweight and breathable linen, which is perfect for the warmer months, whether we are on holiday, heading to work, or enjoying a garden party.
This blazer has been cut into a relaxed fit, which skims the body for a flattering fit, without swamping the wearer.
Like most blazers, this creation boasts a smart lapel for a formal look, as well as flap pockets and a single button fastening, though we would rarely button it up style open to show off the outfit underneath.
There are numerous ways to style the M&S layering essential no matter where you are heading off, as the lightweight alternative is versatile enough to wear with any outfit.
If you are looking for style inspiration, we have a couple of go-to outfits, which include the Marks & Spencer staple.
How to style the M&S Linen Blazer
A full suit

- Linen Blend Tailored Waistcoat, £35 from M&S – buy here
- Linen Blend Wide Leg Trousers, £39.50 from M&S – buy here
- Linen Blend High Waisted Pleat Front Shorts, £25 from M&S – buy here
- Leather-Trimmed Mesh Ballet Flats, £110 from & Other Stories – buy here
- COACH Tabby leather shoulder bag, £350 from Selfridges – buy here
A full co-ord suit makes for easy styling, but can also be mixed and matched to make numerous outfits out of a few items, but, most importantly, looks super chic.
We would style the full suit together for almost any occasion, to the office, to a summer party, a christening, a wedding reception, as well as rooftop drinks.
If we get too warm we can take off the linen blazer, drape it loosely over our shoulders, or opt for shorts instead of long-length trousers.
We would also alternate footwear, from sandals, and trainers, to ballet pumps, as well as heels.
Blazer with denim skirt and kitten heels

- Cream Denim Midi Skirt, £59 from Nobody’s Child – buy here
- Asymmetrical textured top, £29.99 from Mango – buy here
- Slingback Thong Sandals, £49 from Charles & Keith – buy here
- Paradox London Dua Embellished Grab Bag, £35 from John Lewis – buy here
- Kate Young Large Hoop Earrings, £250 from Monica Vinader – buy here
The M&S blazer can be included in an outfit for a more glamorous lookout, whether it is a rooftop bar, girls’ night out, or a date night.
A great way to elevate any look is by simply adding a blazer and a pair of heels.
If you have paired a denim midi skirt, or satin slip skirt with a tank top, t-shirt, or more sophisticated evening-appropriate top, you can give it an extra boost of glamour with a chic blazer, heels, and dazzling accessories.
What we love about this look is you can wear the skirt with a tank top and the blazer but with trainers or flats during the daytime, and switch out for on-trend kitten heels for the evening.
Swap your cross-body bag for a clutch, and add a pair of statement earrings.
Blazer with wide-leg jeans and trainers
- Linen Blend Relaxed Single Breasted Blazer, £59 from M&S – buy here
- The Wide-Leg Jeans, £35 from M&S – buy here
- White Boxy T-Shirt, £12 from River Island – buy here
- Superga 2790 flatform trainers, £49.99 (Was £85) from Superga – buy here
- Soft Shoulder Bag, £38 from Accessorize – buy here
A low-key look for everyday wear, whether it is a shopping spree, lunch with your besties, running errands, or even airport attire.
This is one of the failsafe outfits we wear on rotation, and all year long, it guarantees comfort without looking too underdressed.
You can alternate this look throughout the year, simply swap out the linen blazer for a thicker style and layer a roll neck instead of a t-shirt.
