The seafoam blazer looks saturated, and I understand the appeal. Hope that it will coordinate well with that beautiful ombre skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers/page/2#post-2142945 Mon, 07 Sep 2020 07:33:29 +0000 anchie 2142945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>slim cat - I haven’t figured much more outfits than what you said - mostly wearing it with plain navy, but skirt is statmenty enough that I don’t mind. Toppers are bigger issue, hopefully this combination will work.<br /> I would like to see your skirt </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers/page/2#post-2142943 Mon, 07 Sep 2020 05:38:07 +0000 anchie 2142943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SarahDB - I kept finding this blazer in different online shops, but color looked little different each time. That is why I changed my mind and decided to order to see it IRL. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers/page/2#post-2142940 Mon, 07 Sep 2020 04:19:31 +0000 SarahD8 2142940@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Huh. The blazer looks totally different in the second grouping than it did in the original post. Seems very promising now! Good for you for following your instincts. I’m curious and excited to see how it turns out! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142939 Mon, 07 Sep 2020 03:53:53 +0000 slim cat 2142939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I hope the jacket will work out for you - love that color! Dark blue jeans with that jacket would be interesting.</p> <p>On the subject of outfits: I was curious what tops worked for you with that beautiful ombre skirt ( besides solid white, black or navy )? I've got my own ombre skirt ( more simple - navy into cobalt blue with black elastic waist ) and still figuring out outfits. And thank you for inspiration<br />- you are the reason I took a chance on that skirt! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142933 Mon, 07 Sep 2020 02:33:56 +0000 rachylou 2142933@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok. I’m late to the game. But I agree those are not quite right in the OP. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142867 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 16:04:26 +0000 Minaminu 2142867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's interesting to read how many people are yearning for muted and light neutrals, I guess it's a reflection of these strange times.</p> <p>I hope the sea form blazer will work well for you I can understand the appeal as it is a beautiful colour and very soothing. Off-white would have also been a good option for you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142855 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 15:35:43 +0000 Star (Lise) 2142855@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally think the colour sea-foam is highly versatile and goes with most other colours, although people do not always recognise it immediately.&nbsp; A bit like the colour rust, I was struggling styling it until I opened my mind up and gosh it goes with alot of other colours.&nbsp; Off the top of my head sea-foam goes with white, navy, teal, purple, red, blush, citron, burgundy, rust.&nbsp; Hope it looks good on you as it is a beautiful colour. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142853 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 15:26:17 +0000 anchie 2142853@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for the feedback and advice. I thought about this some more and decided to be a rebel and order the sea foam blazer anyway Maybe because of upcoming fall season, or maybe I feel oversaturated after summer, but I am not feeling bright colors at the moment. I am craving more muted colors and light neutrals. There is also possibility that color will look different IRL, and if it looks awful on me, I can always return. Here is some inspiration from my closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142823 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 09:46:13 +0000 Jane 2142823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blue colours are super. I had a seafoam 3/4 coat from Zara and it was a super colour to wear, so I am nodding with others on this colour.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142799 Sun, 06 Sep 2020 02:27:52 +0000 The Cat 2142799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I well understand your need for more toppers and in different colours. :-)</p> <p>I was about to suggest you look for a bright blue blazer. Then I saw the one you have found. Go for it! It will team well with black, grey or navy bottoms and with white, pink, yellow and red tops.</p> <p>IMHO, other good blazer colours for you would be magenta, purple, turquoise and emerald green. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142726 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 18:29:23 +0000 Angie 2142726@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second two blues you just found are much better! I can see those working well with the colours you like to wear. Really good with red and yellow!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142702 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 15:06:57 +0000 slim cat 2142702@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lighter blue jacket - complimentary to your hair maybe?.. Easier to combine with black, cobalt blue, charcoal, red, soft white.. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142689 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 14:34:09 +0000 Suz 2142689@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems like they offer the same jacket in different colours often. Those last two could potentially work on you -- especially the brighter blue -- but I'd wait to see what comes up for fall.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142688 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 14:31:20 +0000 SarahD8 2142688@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I think these second two possibilities are much better than the first. I wonder especially about that lighter blue — could it be used as a light near-neutral to add some contrast to dark winter outfits?</p> <p>I am just like you with respect to wanting variety in toppers (although cardis for me rather than blazers). I have the exact same response to those capsule wardrobe setups! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142687 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 14:23:38 +0000 anchie 2142687@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all for getting me back to my senses :)<br /> I did try couple of other brands but I didn’t like the fit as much as I like fit of this one. And now I found few more colors also on sale that are still available in my size. They haven’t released any new colors for upcoming season yet but I am sure they will. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142676 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 13:42:15 +0000 Janet 2142676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others — I can see a white or cream blazer suiting you much better than these colors. But count me as another who wants something in that seafoam color. It’s one of those colors that is magic with my eyes but not easy to find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142674 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 13:36:20 +0000 unfrumped 2142674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie, if you love this brand/ style, hang on for it to be re- issued in better colors. </p> <p>But I do think you should explore other retailers to find a few that fit you, so you can watch them for your colors, since some years are better than others for finding those perfect colors. </p> <p>I hear you on making your blazers your source of daily variety and statement. That also makes it helpful to get good prices on what can be the more expensive wardrobe items, but not to the point you buy wrong colors and then regret them. So having several brands on your radar is good. I find that much harder now myself ( for any type of item, not just blazers) since several good mid- range retailers have left town, leaving me to the online size and fit guesswork. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142670 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 12:49:47 +0000 Brooklyn 2142670@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it depends on whether you like the jackets because of fit/style or because of colour. If the colours speak to you and you feel like trying something different, why not? I can see them working with your other colours. I don’t think you should feel locked into a particular palette. But if you like the fit/style of the jacket and are only considering these colours because that’s all that’s available (that is, you’d actually prefer other colours), I’d say no, take a pass.</p> <p>Did you see TG’s thread? Lots about choosing the colours that give you joy vs choosing the colours that look best on you.</p> <p><a href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/becoming-your-own-style-authority" rel="nofollow">https://youlookfab.com/welookf.....-authority</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142660 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 11:11:08 +0000 Liesbeth 2142660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, a cream blazer sounds lovely for you and I think it won't be hard to find once fall collections start coming in good. And how about a print?<br /> Metallic blazers may be easier to find late in the year when holiday styles become available... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142647 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 08:46:20 +0000 Minaminu 2142647@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree, those colours would drain you. Have you looked at Boden and Whistles? They may be offering some interesting colours. Every year, Whistles issues a jersey jacket in some interesting colours and it's slim fitting, I think it would work beautifully on you. </p> <p>Also, may I ask if you are considering different shapes and lenght? This could help to add some variety! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142646 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 07:54:43 +0000 anchie 2142646@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all. Some good ideas here. Because this is addition for my fall winter dressing, I am not sure how I feel about white, but maybe a cream or off white? Pewter, silver and metallic sounds amazing, but haven’t seen anything like it. But, yes, it is still early in the season. I don’t mind having the same blazer in multiple colors because I dress very uniformly for work. But I like having variety of blazers because it is most visible part of my outfit and I don’t like repeating the same ones often. I would rather wear 5 blazers and one pair of pants in a week than 1 blazer and 5 pairs of pants. I am always amused by those work wear capsules that features only one or two blazers I would go crazy wearing the damn thing every day, regardless of how many different combinations it can make. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142621 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 03:50:43 +0000 slim cat 2142621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kinda like green blazer - but I always attracted to that shade/seafoam. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142594 Sat, 05 Sep 2020 01:02:15 +0000 nuancedream 2142594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Stay away from the sand and green blazers because they will completely drain your complexion.&nbsp; If you could find it, I think a pewter or low luster silver blazer would be stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142582 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 23:29:10 +0000 Sal 2142582@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would make do until you find a blazer in the right colour. It is early in the season. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142577 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 23:15:31 +0000 Anonymous 2142577@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ditto LisaP. I think a white blazer would be great on you if you can find one! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142553 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 21:41:54 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 2142553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm agreeing with everyone else, though I do like the seafoam. I have a blazer I own in three colors, and while I love it, I feel I might have gone a bit over the top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142540 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 19:40:51 +0000 Anonymous 2142540@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Angie said. How about looking for scarves, masks or print tops that could pull in your brights with your favorite blazers, like a multi color stripe? A white blazer or jacket may work well with your brights. How about a leather or faux leather blazer or jacket instead of wool, maybe even a metallic? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142539 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 19:39:20 +0000 anchie 2142539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Liesbeth and Angie - you are right, they are not good choices for me and I should pass. Problem is I don’t want to get black, navy or gray blazer that are available in abundance as always, and I don’t really like any of the colors offered this season. There are lot of mid tones and muddy colors that are not speaking to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/considering-some-new-blazers#post-2142528 Fri, 04 Sep 2020 17:21:56 +0000 Angie 2142528@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Pass, <b>anchie</b>. I'm with <b>Lisa P.</b> Not your palette.&nbsp;</p> <p>For <b>Liesbeth</b> and <b>Inge</b> on the other-hand, the seafoam blazers are slam dunks!&nbsp;</p> <p>I have an old seafoam leather jacket that I love, and is very nostalgic. Greg LOVES it, so I will never part with it. I wear it with my happy brights and it works - good with white, denim and navy especially. That said, it would have been better in light blue :)&nbsp; </p>
