A linen (?) jacket for summer

It seems that every year I struggle to find a summer jacket to wear over, well, just about everything. I've decided to start looking early this time. I suppose the main colour it has to go with is blue, as I have a White Company blue dress, a blue Brora skirt and another summer dress with a lot of blue in it.

So far I have ordered and returned the blue Limited Collection blazer from M&S - just frumpy.

I like this Boden jacket - perhaps silver would be good? here

I'm also rather taken with these from Toast, but they are rather expensive this one
and this one

Any more I should be looking at? The Boden one has poor reviews from some people but it does look nice on the web site - has anyone actually got it who likes it?

Have just seen this one in the flesh an it is lovely, looks far more expensive than it is. Not quite linen but maybe a more updated version.

It is very nice, and at that price I could have another one too - the colour is not quite what I want though as I don't think it would go with enough of my stuff - any more ideas?

Any evening people that can help me?

this is a nice rework on a classic and slightly less (dare i say it) dowdy.
Or this would be good with the colours you already wear

Thank you bristolcities, the ASOS one is lovely, the phase eight one might put me in the "waterfall cardigan" brigade! Of course the Phase eight cleo jacket wihich is no longer around in a 10 or 12 is the one I'd buy if there were any left anywhere.

I agree the ASOS one is great, I also find there cuts and sizing really good.
