A Cool, Casual Blazer Not Meant for the Office

Last year, Marissa Webb became Banana Republic’s new creative director — and now, her first collection for the retailer is finally in stores. You can see her signature mix of feminine accents — like bright lips and occasional prints — and tomboy silhouettes (slouchy trousers) in every easy-to-wear piece. One standout is this linen boyfriend blazer, which is cut looser and longer than your standard jacket. It’s not meant to be worn as part of a power suit —  instead, it’s the kind of thing you’ll automatically gravitate toward on cool weekend mornings to pull your outfit together. Take a cue from Webb and layer it over a chambray shirt or pair with a gauzy chiffon dress and flat sandals.
