Travel Fashion Help! Reader Asks:

 

I’m looking for a lightweight work blazer that will be suitable for business across Europe. Preferably it will be smart, stylish, lightweight, comfy, won’t wrinkle, and will wash easily. Any recommendations?

Finding a women’s travel blazer suitable for business or leisure can be difficult, as it needs to fulfill many requirements. While there are plenty of options available, many of them aren’t appropriate for being packed into a suitcase and taken abroad. 

Wrinkling can be a problem, and even the material matters; hence it’s ideal to look for something that doesn’t wrinkle much when packed or lighter material, so it doesn’t feel bulky.

We asked our readers for some of their favorite blazers, and this is what they suggested. The best thing is that even if you’re not traveling for business, blazers are a smart addition to any city travel capsule wardrobe.

 

 

Here are their top recommendations for the best lightweight travel blazer!
