Italian summer jackets recommendations

[Padorkous]

Hello, I am relatively new to the forum and so far I love it, people here are really helpful kind and joyful!

As everyone knows spring just started and summer is just around the corner and since I am a young guy (18y.o.) and live in Greece where the weather gets really hot really fast i would like to hear any recommendations you may have for summer suits,blazers and jackets. I love that peacock Italian summer style with bright colors and edgy colorful combinations that stand out and grab attention (candy colors, hot pink, emerald green, sapphire blue, ruby red etc.). I want the typical full unstructured type of suits, blazers and jackets with the fabric draping nicely on the body. I am young and an athlete so I would like to avoid the option of bespoke tailoring just because in 1-2 years I won't be able to wear the same clothes but on the other hand, I would like to avoid fast fashion cause most of the times the quality lacks significantly.

I am looking forward to hearing your suggestions!
Thanks in advance!

Joyful? You exaggerate.
Nevertheless, you might consider the Belvest
Jacket in the Box line. I do not have personal experience with
these jackets, but I own a lot of Belvest and its is well-made
and fits me very well:

Also, if you find any, Borelli Sorrento might suit you.
They are unconstructed and I am not sure that they are made anymore
I have one in brown linen with besom pockets. Mostly they come in
patch pockets:

I don’t know; I’m pretty joyful. At least some of the time.

I think the advice to scour eBay, especially at your age, is very good advice. I can understand not wanting to spend a lot on tailored clothing when you might not be done growing. Look for silk and linen blends in the colors that you want. When you see something in your size, grab it. If you have to have it altered you are still way ahead and you will also learn what suits you and what does not.

Here's an example, but not for summer:
