It’s certainly not a faux pas to scrunch at all! But I need a wool blend blazer like this one to look good both ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189994 Mon, 26 Apr 2021 09:36:15 +0000 lyn67 2189994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this looser cut, scrunching sleeves will help a lot!!! I wear ALL my blazer scrunched&nbsp; for visual interest (which I LOVE) no mater tailored, dressy or casual...hope it is NOT a faux pas-it's just&nbsp; so easy for me-guess is a strong personal prefference...:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189851 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 18:53:58 +0000 Angie 2189851@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES, <b>Christina.</b> I 100% agree with every word </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189804 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 17:14:37 +0000 Christina F. 2189804@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>unfrumped, I agree and will keep my eye out. It’s not a HEWI for me but I’d add something like this if I found the right thing. </p> <p>Angie, there is definitely an element of not being used to this look. I could deal with that if I found the right item, as I find that my eye adjusts. But I won’t commit to wearing this with sleeves scrunched all the time, so back it goes. I can keep an eye out for another jacket with this vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189771 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 15:06:48 +0000 Angie 2189771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Christina</b>, I like the vibe, but the fit is not quite right. The body has that fab '80s fashion forward look, but the sleeves aren't sufficiently tailored. Scrunched, the silhouette would already look better because you added structure.&nbsp;</p> <p>Soooooo, the runways are full of this silhouette and the fit is just like this - or bigger. We had no problem wearing it in the '80s......but I guess today, we are not in the same head space....yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189746 Sun, 25 Apr 2021 13:24:23 +0000 Anonymous 2189746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you are right to return it. Next. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189632 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 20:32:41 +0000 Carla 2189632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree with you that the jacket is too big, &nbsp;it gosh! &nbsp;love how you styled it with the navy (?) joggers and white sneakers and the super cute hair! ❤️ </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189626 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 19:47:58 +0000 unfrumped 2189626@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agree.<br /> I also have trouble with oversized blazers. But have kind of used a coatigan to get a similar vibe, though didn’t capture the menswear vibe. I’m not petite per se but can’t do much oversized.<br /> As you see things here and there ( easier when used to have access to try on blazers IRL), you might come across a blazer that maybe isn’t called “ oversized, “ but fits you just a touch that way- maybe it has good- fitting shoulders but is a tad longer in the body, straighter, and some kind of plaid or check— so it is BF/ oversized- evoking but interpreted for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189617 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 19:15:30 +0000 Christina F. 2189617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>La Ped - very tricky, I agree! Especially with Madewell. I just wanted to try it out, but if I never get it to work, I won’t be too sorry. I’ve learned not to rule too many things out, is all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189576 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 16:54:57 +0000 LaPed 2189576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can commiserate; I have tried a bunch of different Madewell blazers and none of them fit my shortish self quite right. Shoulders too narrow, stance too low... I agree with Janet that oversized blazers are one of the hardest things to get right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189572 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 16:47:54 +0000 Christina F. 2189572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Kkkards, sizing down will almost certainly be an issue with my hips. So I won’t bother and it may not be available anymore anyway. This is why jackets can be very hard to fit on me.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189571 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 16:46:56 +0000 kkards 2189571@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, i like the length, but wondering what the size down looks like&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189568 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 16:42:58 +0000 Christina F. 2189568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay, thanks all. &nbsp;Needed a gut check but I was pretty sure I was correct. I was deciding if I should return it tomorrow with some other stuff.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189567 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 16:42:26 +0000 rachylou 2189567@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does seem all around a bit big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189564 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 16:38:28 +0000 Janet 2189564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks too large all-around on you. I find those styles very challenging to get a proper fit!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189560 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 16:20:22 +0000 nuancedream 2189560@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The blazer appears to be too large and long for you, Christina F, especially the sleeves.&nbsp; What a shame it isn't available in a petite size, which is really what you need.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189555 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 15:54:26 +0000 Adela 2189555@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sleeves seem a bit too long to me, and they are very important with a blazer. Maybe try to style it different? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-oversized-blazer-too-oversized#post-2189553 Sat, 24 Apr 2021 15:49:23 +0000 Christina F. 2189553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kinda think this Madewell blazer is too long on me. But I am not sure if it’s just that my eye really needs to adjust to the long blazer look? There isn’t a petite size for me to try. </p> <p>I would not stylet usually with the short sweat pants - maybe that doesn’t help? :p </p> <p></p> <p>ETA - yeah I’m convinced for sure that I should return it. Sizing down won’t work. Thanks all!</p>
