Since you are looking for a collarless jacket for a month 9 wedding that doesn't look too stifling, I picked 3 pieces with neatly open necklines. They are the Bowmore Shawl Jacket in Beige and Black from MOONDAL, and the cropped jacket in black from Moia. MOONDAL rounded and thinned out the collar to ease any stuffiness around the neck, while Moia left off the collar entirely in a cropped silhouette, making it an easy, lightweight piece to slip on as an early autumn wedding guest. These days, rather than being stiff and structured like in the past, tweed and collarless jackets lean heavily toward relaxed-shoulder silhouettes that fall effortlessly like cardigans.
The collarless tweed suit that Gabrielle Chanel first introduced at seventy-one when she returned to the Paris fashion scene in 1954 began from that very sense of liberation. She stripped away the stifling collars, stiff shoulder pads, and internal interfacings that constricted women's bodies at the time, crafting it to be worn comfortably like a cardigan. While the conservative European press panned it as a failure, American women seeking freedom of movement were thrilled, hailing it as a fashion revolution.
Because their necklines and shoulders are kept light and open, you will be able to wear them comfortably even in month 9 with its lingering late-summer heat. Shall we narrow these 3 down a bit further by material or color?

I picked three jackets made of linen blend materials that bring both lightness and neatness. There is the 린넨 컷오프 자켓 ASH BEIGE from INSILENCE with standout cut-out seam details, the Moia [40%] crop jacket (black) with a breezy length, and the Relaxed Co/Lin double blazer [Khaki Brown] from RYOO featuring a natural silhouette. Fabric that blends cotton with pure linen preserves linen's signature cool breathability while softening its stiff texture and harsh wrinkles, making it much easier to wear every day.
Looking at RYOO's khaki brown suddenly reminded me of where that name originated. Khaki began in the mid-19th century when soldiers stationed on the borders of British India stained their white uniforms with muddy water, tea leaves, and coffee grounds so they wouldn't stand out against the desert dust. Originating from an Urdu word meaning dust, this color began as a practical camouflage strategy to survive in rugged terrain, but today it has settled into our wardrobes as a calm, elegant shade for jackets.
Let's return to our list. While they share the texture of linen, each shape is quite distinct. Would you like to narrow down by neat black first, or do you prefer a playful cropped length or a roomy double blazer? We could also filter by price first, keeping it under KRW 200,000.

↳ In black
From the list, I selected three black outerwear pieces that are easy to wear neatly. There is the Moia cropped jacket with its clean silhouette, the INSILENCE linen cut-off jacket with its natural texture, and the roomy relaxed double blazer from RYOO.
The name blazer originated in 1825 from the uniforms of the rowing team at St John's College, University of Cambridge, in England. It was given because the sight of the athletes rowing in matching bright scarlet flannel jackets looked like flickering flames (Blaze) atop the river. Spectators were also said to have marveled just before races when the athletes tossed their jackets high into the air, the brass buttons glinting brightly in the sunlight.
Instead of blazing red, I've narrowed it down exclusively to black, which blends solidly with anything. Blended with linen or cotton, they are great for layering lightly even when temperatures fluctuate. Shall we look at a cropped length, or would you like to narrow it down to a double blazer or options under KRW 200,000?
