Also I find Calvin Klein is decent and doesn't ignore the fact that women have breasts.&nbsp;My absolute favorite blazer is the Gap ponte academy which I have in several colors (and if they did a solid white I'd be all over it). I also have it in wool and hate it (pills).&nbsp;I also like Halogen and Caslon&nbsp;(Nordstrom house brands) which I find at the Rack. I have a lot of blazers and don't really have one that always works - it really requires trying on for the style, the fabric and I have many different sizes that fit similarly.&nbsp;<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-fitting-blazer#post-883965 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 04:29:24 +0000 Day Vies 883965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yep, apple checking in here... I am a 10/12 on the bottom and a 16/18P&nbsp;on the top&nbsp;I have a great suit jacket that is cut like a <b>riding jacket</b>. It is a little longer than most jackets these days but I love how it nips in at the waist and has a 3 button closure. <br />I also really like <b>Chanel-type jackets</b> because they look great with trousers or jeans and polish things off nicely while adding a bit of texture.&nbsp;<br /><b>Peplum</b> <b>jackets</b> are nice too because they define a waist and&nbsp;suggest that i have&nbsp;"hips" where I have very little. <br />As far as color&nbsp;I think that's secondary to the cut. Once you have the right cut the jacket could do an LED&nbsp;light show and you'd still look chic because the cut is spot on.&nbsp;<br />Here are a few photos to illustrate: #1 is a riding type jacket because it's longer and has angled pockets, #2 is Chanel-type, #3&amp;4 are peplum jackets.&nbsp;<br />I hope this helps.&nbsp;&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-fitting-blazer#post-883959 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 04:01:14 +0000 catgirl 883959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Not an apple but an IT so bigger on top, and the Theory Lanai blazer has been an absolute workhorse for me.&nbsp; Dress up, dress down, low fuss, Helmut Lang look-alike.&nbsp; It comes in white right now!<br /><br /><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/theory-lanai-twill-jacket/3288350?origin=keywordsearch&amp;contextualcategoryid=0&amp;fashionColor=White&amp;resultback=527" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/th.....ualcategor</a> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-fitting-blazer#post-883951 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 03:43:23 +0000 Carole 883951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ We seem to have similar shapes, Carrie. I wear a 12 in jackets and 8-10 in bottoms. I have bought 2 jackets for spring&nbsp;and returned them both. I have found the Tahari brand works well for my shape but hate to lay out the dough for my casual life. I found some casual jackets at JCpenny of all places, that I really like and might fit the bill. I'll keep you posted. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/great-fitting-blazer#post-883923 Thu, 21 Mar 2013 03:22:29 +0000 carrie 883923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Is there anyone out there who runs bigger on top (apple body) with slim hips and legs that has found a great looking, great fitting,&nbsp;classic blazer in white and /or a great color? I tend to feel naked and a bit too casual without a blazer. Whether I am wearing jeans or slacks I like to wear a jacket- they are my security blanket and make me feel good and well put together. a great jacket tends to give me a shape and is slenderizing. I wear a 12-14 on top and 10-12 on the bottom.<br /> Lafayette 148 is my the work horse apparel line in my wardrobe rotation-but only the basics. I just can't afford their fashion collections. <br />I am looking forward to hearing what great jackets others have found!
