Turn your gaze away from barn jackets—this is the (significantly) more sophisticated item that fashion enthusiasts will be wearing continuously starting in August.

      Not too long ago, it seemed you couldn't walk down the street without encountering someone in a barn jacket. However, like all fashion trends, even the most cherished items come in and out of style. While I would never claim that barn jackets are no longer in fashion (heaven forbid—I still reach for mine on cooler days), I have to acknowledge that sleeker, more refined silhouettes are currently taking center stage, particularly the single-breasted blazer.

      Emily Ratajkowski made a strong case for the comeback of tailoring when she donned a sharp Calvin Klein blazer in New York this week, reminiscent of pieces from the '90s archives. With its clean lines, subtle button accents, and longline cut that grazes the top of the thigh, it stood out. I realized that I hadn't seen many button-up single-breasted blazers until now; clearly, Ratajkowski is channeling the styling vibe we will all be embracing this autumn (Image credit: Getty Images).

      Pairing her blazer with matching trousers, Ratajkowski finished off her look with peep-toe heels, adding a touch of casual charm to the stylish ensemble. While I adore her complete suit styling, I can easily envision this blazer working well with capri trousers, denim, or even a miniskirt.

      Sleek, easy to wear, and the ideal layering piece for the upcoming slightly warmer autumn days, continue scrolling to browse my selection of the best styles currently available.
