Will you be buttoning? If so, I'd size up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542574 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:11:04 +0000 Queen Mum 542574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's great if you are going to wear it opened. If you want to button it, then I don't think this cut will work for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542572 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 22:09:07 +0000 Anonymous 542572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it unbuttoned but I like my blazers ( and wool coats for that matter) snug.<br /> If you want to button and still keep a tight fit, look for a blazer with more than one button. One button blazers tend to pull no matter the size. You need more buttons to hold the fit better. Same thing with coats, you need the buttons to be stitched closer together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542524 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:42:30 +0000 DonnaF 542524@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, the shoulders look slightly broad. I have the same problems trying to fit H&amp;M and can never find a fit. They cater to a more Scandinavian body type. Their prices are seductive, aren't they? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542512 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 20:26:06 +0000 K. Period. 542512@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Was there enough room to move the button over? Sometimes even a half an inch makes a huge difference. If not (and I suspect, unfortunately, not), then I agree you were smart to pass on it. Very cute, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542419 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:47:06 +0000 Kirti 542419@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that I'm going to look out for another blazer, since I do like the option of buttoning! Thanks for the advice ladies </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542411 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:37:02 +0000 machanteuse (Lori) 542411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have to agree, it looks snug when buttoned but very cute unbuttoned. That is usually how I wear blazers because they just fit me better that way. But if you're not comfortable with it unbuttoned it's probably not the jacket for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542408 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:32:18 +0000 keruchina 542408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks cute unbuttoned but too small when buttoned. </p> <p>Have you tried a blazer in a knit fabric? I find blazers to be a bit constricting unless they are in stretchy fabric.</p> <p>Best of luck to you, blazers can be tough! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542404 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:29:22 +0000 ManidipaM 542404@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Think you need a different style, this looks like it's cut to fit a straighter body type. Have you tried Kookai? Their winter collection had a very similar jacket, in a similar colour, but it didn't seem to be as nipped in at the waist. Not sure how the price point compares, though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542401 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:25:31 +0000 HelenInCanada 542401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like it. Very riding-like, yet classic. I'd say try one size up, just because you'll probably be layering under it, and currently there's too much pulling at the waist. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542399 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:19:38 +0000 Transcona Shannon 542399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you intend on wearing it unbuttoned, it's fabulous. If you want to be able to button it, I'm afraid it is too snug. If it's any consolation, I have the same issue. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542394 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:14:50 +0000 Andrea B. 542394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you prefer to wear blazers buttoned, then I would pass this one up. Being able to button up gives you a little more versatility and wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542388 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:09:55 +0000 Kirti 542388@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>kellygirl: thanks! I think so too but I do button my blazers so wondering if it is worth it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542386 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 17:08:16 +0000 kellygirl 542386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks great unbuttoned. I rarely button my jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542366 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:45:56 +0000 Kirti 542366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>teri; the size up is ridiculously loose in my shoulders and torso, which is why I didn't even bother taking a picture! Sigh! Blazers are so problematic </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542363 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:40:34 +0000 teri 542363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>it does seem to be pulling a tad bit when buttoned. Can you go up one size? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/hm-blazer-yay-or-nay#post-542359 Thu, 16 Feb 2012 16:38:30 +0000 Kirti 542359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been looking for a cropped blazer for a while now and tried one on at H&amp;M today that I liked. </p> <p>I think it fits well in the shoulders and the sleeves aren't too long/wide, both of which are probs with me. Does it look a little big in the torso?</p> <p>Hubby thinks it looks too tight buttoned up. Does it really? It didn't feel constricting but it does look a little strained, I guess.</p> <p>What do I do? To buy or not to buy? </p>
