I used to have a black knit blazer that I wore until it wore out. I wonder why I didn’t replace it. Thanks for the find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-alternative-win#post-2053694 Sat, 17 Aug 2019 03:55:01 +0000 christy 2053694@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great find!!! Thanks for sharing. I have a knit blazer that I’ve worn the heck out of and am not looking forward to the day when I need to retire it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-alternative-win#post-2053621 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 22:50:20 +0000 Jenni NZ 2053621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yep I have 2 soft knit jackets which feel like cardigans but look a bit smarter. Good choice!<br /> You are definitely learning by thrifting two, as well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-alternative-win#post-2053563 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 19:47:03 +0000 Anonymous 2053563@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! The knit blazers always seem like just structured cardis to me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-alternative-win#post-2053524 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 16:52:12 +0000 Eirlys 2053524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the style, the colour, and the length. It will prove a very useful find for the season. Three-quarter length jackets are very smart, I think, a lift up from the ubiquitous cardigan.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-alternative-win#post-2053510 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 16:33:50 +0000 Anonymous 2053510@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for pointing this blazer out. I have a couple of wool knit blazers, but this cotton one would be handy for this time of year when it feels like crisp fall in the morning and evening but often summer at mid day. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-alternative-win#post-2053501 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 15:51:49 +0000 Angie 2053501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice find, and thanks for the recommendation.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-alternative-win#post-2053486 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 15:19:51 +0000 VintageDawn 2053486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've struggled to find cardigans as well this past couple of years,&nbsp; in fact I'm wearing one right now I just bought that I thought would be a keeper and after wearing a few days I think I should donate, I feel very frumpy in it.&nbsp; Nice find! That looks like it could be very versatile - I'm tempted to try one myself :)&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/cardigan-alternative-win#post-2053452 Fri, 16 Aug 2019 13:13:50 +0000 KikiG 2053452@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been on the search for a charcoal gray cardigan for multiple seasons.&nbsp; This is complicated, apparently.&nbsp; I don't like drop shoulder sweaters as they make me look wide and squat, my arms are short, as a petite person, patch pockets on a cardigan can be a problem, etc.&nbsp; I have bought and then donated at least three (at least the last two were thrifted, which at least shows I'm learning, right)?</p> <p>On a whim, I decided to try this jacket, and I think it going to fill that need nicely, or even, more satisfactorily than a cardigan would have.&nbsp; The jacket is perhaps technically black and white, but it reads charcoal with a bit of a light fleck.&nbsp; The shoulders fit my shoulders, the lapels in the petite are proportional, and it is very comfortable.&nbsp; The reviews complain about the sizing and recommend sizing down, but in petite, I found it to be true to size and the small petite (my usual size) was good.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p>
