Getting dressed for work during the summer is a delicate balancing act between a sweltering commute and an aggressive air-conditioned office. Instead of leaving a cardigan hanging on your chair, why not come armed — and add an unexpected twist — with a graphic blazer? Digital florals were a big spring runway trend, and the pattern looks just as fresh on a sharply cut jacket. Or if your taste is a bit quirky, designers also took inspiration from upholstery-like fabrics and bohemian-style prints, all rendered in weather-appropriate, lightweight silks and cottons. And for the traditionalists, stripes and polka dots add a preppy touch to any wardrobe. But since it’s the middle of sales season, sizes are limited, so act fast. Click through our slideshow to see all of the eye-catching options.
