Glad you opted for the 4. As Suz says, JCrew looks ace on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742879 Sat, 22 Oct 2016 00:23:25 +0000 Karie 1742879@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone! I actually cut the tags and wore the size 4 out the door tonight to a 31 party (home party where they sell tote bags). I styled it slightly differently than in my photos above, but not much (changed to brown shoes, fixed the shirt so you can see the striped tee underneath and added a pile of pearls). I've only worn it for a couple of hours, but it was perfect for our now cooler temps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742862 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 23:22:15 +0000 Suz 1742862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's gorgeous on you, <b>Karen.</b> Wow. I love it best in the smaller size. You wear J. Crew <b>SO WELL</b>!!!!! They should have you model for them. You and <b>Viva.&nbsp;</b> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742848 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 22:36:50 +0000 Echo 1742848@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am the type to always think the bigger size is better, but in this case, the 6 really looks too big. The arms are too voluminous and it borders on slightly sloppy. The smaller size doesn't LOOK snug at all, even when buttoned. I vote keep the 4. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742845 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 22:14:51 +0000 lpr200 1742845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The size 4, and that jacket really suits you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742833 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 21:43:18 +0000 texstyle 1742833@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller size is great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742829 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 21:31:00 +0000 DonnaF 1742829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The shoulders on the 4 look better to my eye.&nbsp; I'm assuming the 4 passes the hug/driving test?&nbsp; I won't ask about the sit down test because you said you wouldn't be buttoning it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742813 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 21:06:21 +0000 CocoLion 1742813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see. &nbsp;Yes, J Crew is often designed for straight figures. &nbsp;This is why I have nothing at all from J Crew, BR or Express fit me better. &nbsp;Again if it feels snug it doesn't look it, and you can always leave the bottom unbuttoned as you say.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742805 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 20:59:33 +0000 Karie 1742805@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The slight snugness is in the hips, and only when I button the second button, but I wouldn't wear it closed anyway. This style blazer in lighter weight fabrications fits me perfectly in size 4, but the bulkiness of the wool made me question this one.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742801 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 20:51:05 +0000 CocoLion 1742801@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the fit of the smaller size, the buttoned picture does not look snug. &nbsp;Where does it feel snug when buttoned? &nbsp;Shoulders, armholes, bust? &nbsp; Etc. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742799 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 20:50:51 +0000 Angie 1742799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The smaller size. Fabulous.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-everyone-which-size-blazer#post-1742797 Fri, 21 Oct 2016 20:45:21 +0000 Karie 1742797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is the J Crew Rhodes elbow patch sleeve blazer in wool houndstooth. I would probably not wear it closed, but I took pics of it open and closed anyway. If I look uncomfortable I'm not, I stood with my arms straight down so you could see the length of the sleeves. I also have two shirts on underneath it, a thin striped long sleeved tee and a chambray shirt - I tried it on that way because this is how I would wear it sometimes.</p> <p>Pics 1 and 2 (with my glasses on) - Size 4. It's a tad snug when closed but I wouldn't wear it that way.</p> <p>Pics 3 and 4 (without my glasses on) - Size 6. The side opposite the buttons hangs in a sticking out way, I'm not sure if it's because it's big or there's something wrong with it. If this size looks better on me I will exchange it for another one.&nbsp;</p>
