[...] oversized pearl beads and low yellow pumps. But I couldn’t resist throwing in the androgynous boyfriend blazer for some 80’s fun. A huge blast from the past, but much improved and I’m enjoying every second [...]

Hmm… I must admit I don t see the reason to wear a blazer like that, when there are so many nice looking, structured blazers out there… Shaped for the female shape .

I like the trend but can’t wear it. I’m an hourglass that tends towards an inverted triangle, just like you said in the next post. I have a bust, I have hips, and even though my shoulders are wider than my hips, those still aren’t narrow by any means. So even though I’m not plump, anything baggy makes me look too square and big, specially structured items like baggy jackets or coats.

I like the length of these blazers but don’t like the bagginess. I am tall, but not thin (yet!), so I think a baggy blazer would add pounds. I’d rather have a more tailored, fitted jacket in that length. Also, I’m not sure about rolling up jacket sleeves. I do it with shirt sleeves all the time, but don’t much like the look with a jacket.

I’m with the ladies who say it’s all about your body style: tall, thin, narrow shoulders. It definitely does not look good with shorts or leggings, imho. A great pair of jeans and a solid-colored top seems like the perfect fit. I might be able to make this work. (crossing fingers) We’ll see.

I love this look. Like you, it’s probably a nostalgia thing. Now I’m wishing back all my 80s blazers which I gave away in my big closet sweep a few years ago. Probably best that I can’t get them back.

I tried the boyfriend cardi look out in multiple dressing rooms this fall and couldn’t make myself like it. Boyfriend jeans have roundly been declared a no-no here. Now the boyfriend jacket comes along too. I can’t say I’m too optimistic!
