When you choose light-hued blazers, keep them flowy and longer such that they extend till your mid-thigh. You can either choose a single-breasted or double-breasted blazer with extra-long sizes. You can also pair extra long blazers with a pair of denim shorts to go chic yet casual. If you are planning on a summer look, try going with dynamic and dark coloured casuals with a light tinged blazer.
