is this bf blazer too short?

Carole

Opinions, please, on this bf blazer...is it too short? I returned one I loved because it seemed snug when buttoning although it fit fine otherwise, and bought this instead....now I'm wondering if it is too short...Now I wish I hadn/t taken the other one back, this is driving me crazY!

I like this one, I don't think its too short. but I'm not an expert... the nice thing about the shorter lengh IMO is that your shirt will peek out from the bottom, which is a look I like.

I think I like this one better than the one you took back, but it was a hard photo to make the comparison.

btw, I think Angie has said, and I subscribe to this theory, that if a jacket fits otherwise, and you don't plan to wear it buttoned, it does not have to pass the "button" test

Hm, I'm definitely no expert in these things, but I actually prefer the one you took back... I still think the shorter one works though! I guess it also depends on wether you think you'll wear it buttoned or not?

Thanks queenie and KarinSwe...I really loved the lst one but thought It needed to button...I had hoped to find a larger size in the lst style and drove to a million different Ross stores around here to find it, no such luck, but found this one and thought It would work...thanks for your opinions...I guess wouldn't go wrong with either one..

Carole! Please get back the one you returned! BF blazers look best unbuttoned so I’m not sure whether it really matters that it was snug buttoned up. It’s a much better look for you than the shorter style.
