A linen blazer is something I’ve always had in my closet, even well before I started a style blog. It’s a staple that continues to earn its keep year after year.
I’ve been on the look out for an option that wasn’t too structured but still had a tailored feel to it. Cue the star of today’s style post, The Taylor 100% Linen Relaxed Fit Blazer by GRAE COVE, a thoughtful brand that I think you’ll be as happy to discover as I was.
This beautiful blazer, is made from deliciously soft linen, with special details like sustainably sourced coconut shell buttons.
Read on for more notes on this particular blazer and a few ways I’m styling it for spring!
A few quick notes about
The Taylor 100% Linen Relaxed Fit Blazer
SIZING: Fit is true to size, however, I decided to go for a Medium in this piece as I wanted a very relaxed fit. A Small would have definitely fit well just not as oversized.
FABRIC: 100% Linen, sustainably sourced and Standard 100 OEKO-TEX certified, which means there are no harmful chemicals, substances or dyes used in the making of the material.
CARE:
- Machine wash cold with like colours. Gentle cycle.
- Tumble dry low and remove promptly. I’d remove while still damp.
- Low temperature ironing is recommended. Warm iron if needed. I iron out creases in my linen with lots of steam.
- Do not use chlorine bleach. In essentially all cases, it’s ok to use peroxide.
NOTABLE DETAILS
UNLINED WITH BOUND INTERIOR SEAMS
This blazer is not lined, making it more casual and lightweight, which is great for the summer. The interior seams are bound so it doesn’t look or feel unfinished.
SINGLE BACK VENT
I personally like when a blazer has a vented back. It makes for easier movement if you’re walking, riding a bike or sitting.
BUTTONLESS CUFFS
Another small detail that gives this blazer a relaxed feel, are the buttonless cuffs. This makes rolling the cuffs super easy and there is no bulkiness from scrunched in buttons.
COCONUT SHELL BUTTONS
The natural buttons on this blazer are another small touch I enjoy. They’re simple, neutral and the piece comes with a spare should a replacement be needed.
HOW I’M STYLING THIS LINEN BLAZER FOR SPRING
LOOK 1
WITH A SIMPLE TEE, STRAIGHT LEG DARK DENIM, A WHITE SNEAKER & A MINI TOTE
I love this simple formula for an easy-going day of work or travel. It’s comfy but still feels put-together enough for coffee with a friend, a family visit or a lunch date.

OVER A BLACK BASE WITH BROWN ACCESSORIES
I think a linen blazer is a perfect piece to bridge more “corporate” feeling styles, like a trouser, with a more spring vibe, while keeping the look professional. I’d wear this for any type of meeting or in a work setting. If I was a realtor, a teacher, an interior designer or worked in a more formal office setting, you’d find me in this type of outfit for sure.
