Its crisp and I think it would ground and create a nice juxtaposition with your other edgy skirts and pants.</p> <p>Linen blazers wrinkle too much and too fast. For that one reason I won't buy them! Looks frumpy to my eyes. Pants and skirts on the other hand ... I can live with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234487 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 03:42:54 +0000 Echo 1234487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would have chosen #3 even before I'd read that the tag came off. It is slightly longer, with a more deliberate and squared off hem. It looks more modern and more sleek. And while linen is often comfortable, a jacket in a suiting material will look much more pulled-together IMO, as it will not have the creases and wrinkles that linen will get from bending or even sitting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234465 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 03:24:13 +0000 Debbie 1234465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>3 by far. I think you look great in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234349 Sun, 27 Apr 2014 01:22:13 +0000 Karie 1234349@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #3 the best, so I'm glad the tag came off that one! Linen wrinkles a lot and often doesn't look as nice after a few hours of wear, so that's another good reason for going with #3. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234286 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 23:39:46 +0000 Windchime 1234286@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm glad the tag came off #3, because I prefer it on you. It seems to me it will work well with a lot of different types of skirts and pants.</p> <p>By the way, I was driving downtown in my city today and saw an extremely-stylishly dressed young woman who reminded me of you. Her style was remarkably similar to yours, down to her haircut and bag. You weren't by any chance in the midwest today, were you?! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234274 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 23:13:50 +0000 rabbit 1234274@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think #3 is a little more 'formal' but you can pair it with things that twist that. &nbsp;I think the cut, bottom corners etc. looks sharper and hence cooler.&nbsp;</p> <p>Linen to my mind is one of those things that unless it's shapeless to begin with always wrinkles the way you don't want it too, back creases and weirdness around the collar and other frustrating things, &nbsp;So #3 seems likely to be more easy to wear in that way too (as long as it isn't too hot).</p> <p>Also the outfit with the skirt, shoes and jacket is very nice </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234232 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 21:39:31 +0000 Angie 1234232@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#3. No contest.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234218 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 21:28:16 +0000 Gigi 1234218@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'll be a spanner and say that I think #1 is more "Rae," at least from what I know of your style. #3 looks great, but it is a little more dressy and sophisticated and classic, whereas I feel like your style has a little more quirkiness about it, something a bit unusual or unexpected.</p> <p>I am also wondering about the "hotness" level. The linen one might be cooler--unless it has a poly lining or something. I would see whether the fabrication of one or the other would make a more practical purchase.</p> <p>I do think that the two jackets are so similar that I wouldn't keep both. I think that you would always reach for one over the other in your closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234177 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 20:41:26 +0000 texstyle 1234177@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I wasn't sure about #3 before but somehow it looks right now - I think it just looks more polished and elegant. My linen blazer is fun and light,&nbsp;but it is always wrinkled within 15 mins.&nbsp;and I live with it, but don't love the fact. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234156 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 19:47:02 +0000 pil 1234156@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe the linen one will go on sale They both look really nice on you but have to agree with the others who prefer the crispness of the suiting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234121 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 19:03:02 +0000 missvee 1234121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good choice. I think the shape of 3 is so sharp and crisp, and it really suits you, I like the longer length too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234114 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 18:53:35 +0000 rae 1234114@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I'm glad that #3 is getting love. The first time I posted it, I don't think anyone liked it much. Rolling the sleeves must have helped.&nbsp;</p> <p>I guess I should return the linen one... it would be nice to have both for very active days at work, but yeah, that is a luxury. I think I will wear #3 today! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234091 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 18:22:49 +0000 jackiec 1234091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love them both so I'm no help...

I also think, like Janet, that especially later the linen is going to start looking different than it does now. If you're going to sport the white in winter (and why not) are you going to be happy with a linen look then? It depends on what you want, super summery or year round fabness. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1234006 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 15:41:41 +0000 Ledonna N. 1234006@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry I'm no help but they are both nice blazers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1233987 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 15:17:02 +0000 Janet 1233987@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, that is tough. I like them both, but they are a quite similar vibe. Can you use both? If you're anything like me with my recent black jacket(s) purchase, you will get plenty of use from each, but part of me thinks they should be more different from one another to justify keeping both. But take that with a grain of salt, coming from the woman who may be keeping the Love Story jeans which are nearly identical to the Gap flares I already own...</p> <p>OTOH, one is linen and the other not, which probably means they look more different IRL than they do in photos. I think they both look great on you. Aw heck, I'm no help at all, am I? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1233985 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 15:12:41 +0000 merwoman 1233985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh man what a hard choice. There's something about #3 that I find more appealing - maybe it's slightly longer and has a more 'elegant' line to it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/final-white-blazer-post#post-1233981 Sat, 26 Apr 2014 15:08:07 +0000 rae 1233981@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sized up on the linen blazer, and it helped the shoulder fit a lot. #1-2</p> <p>But I put the sale suiting fabric&nbsp;blazer on one last time, and now I'm not sure. #3</p> <p>Which one? Both?? o_0 Sort of styled. 1-2 also shown here:&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/testing-my-theyskens-theory">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....ens-theory</a></p> <p>I would like to be done and start wearing a white blazer already! lol </p> <p>UPDATE: Well, the tag on #3 literally snapped off on my shirt while trying it on again, so I guess I'm stuck with that one for sure (at least it was the cheaper one). Still interested in whether the linen is a good idea, though.&nbsp;</p>
