After ten years working in the fashion industry and another five years covering it online, I’ve accumulated what some might call “too much clothing.”
Ironically, I tend to gravitate toward a handful of items and wear them into the ground.
This summer, my go-to blazer and favorite new garment is the Italian Linen Silk Double Stripe Sport Coat from Todd Snyder.
It is an unstructured, unlined blazer made from 60 percent linen and 40 percent silk. It has a soft shoulder, double vents and two buttons.
My favorite feature is the double patch pockets. I wish it had a complete set of patch pockets, but I can live with the vented breast pocket.
The creamy white color has grayish-green and light blue vertical stripes of varying widths, resembling a faded cricket blazer. I have found that it looks best with washed-out jeans and navy chinos, and I prefer a plain white t-shirt underneath.
