Welcome to Jet Set, a recurring feature in which we highlight our favorite accessories and travel must-haves that are perfect for any kind of trip. Travel is back and better than ever, and whether you’re already packing for your next adventure or you’re just beginning to contemplate venturing out again, we’re here to help with all your jet setting needs. A stylish blazer is always a good idea when embarking on an adventure; they easily add a touch of polish to any outfit, and are an ideal outerwear option to either layer under a heavier jacket when it’s chillier, or wear alone during warmer times of year. Wearing a blazer while en route instantly ties together your jet-set look, though packing one in your suitcase is another alternative. From classic black blazers and oversized linen jackets to slim-fit tailored numbers and cozy sweater-style silhouettes, here are the best travel blazers we’re loving and coveting right now.
