It's always good to have the possibility of layering.<br /> Looks good on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-702016 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 16:30:36 +0000 texstyle 702016@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also prefer the size 8 but agree on the Navy. I also tried two sizes and ended up with the larger size. They both fit technically but the smaller size just didn't lay as nice overall and I wanted it to be a winter (southern winter) blazer over layers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-701947 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 15:26:44 +0000 Suz 701947@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the 8 I think. It looks great on you!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-701943 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 15:12:11 +0000 Anonymous 701943@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might be the photo but I see little difference between the 6 and the 8, so I'm ambivalent about size. I tend to size down in GAP because *I swear* GAP clothes just expand on me. It can be all in my head.</p> <p>As far as color, I like the high contrast tipping on the grey better, so I vote grey. I think navy blazers are usually much easier to find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-701939 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 15:09:54 +0000 kellygirl 701939@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the 8. The 6 looks off in the bust area. Great blazer. I love both colors. The navy is really sharp but I like the contrast of the piping against the grey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-701937 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 15:06:53 +0000 Anonymous 701937@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Although I adore the higher contrast of the tipping on the grey one, I think the navy looks better with your complexion--and it would be nice to have a navy blazer. It's hard to see the fit on it because it's so dark. I defer to the others on this! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-701936 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 15:04:25 +0000 Isis 701936@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So far Navy in size 8 is in the lead!</p> <p>Geargirl, the jacket is a stretchy knit even the 6 is comfortable across my broader back....(but the 8 is more so!) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-701929 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:56:16 +0000 Astrid 701929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the navy better on you colorwise, but prefer the size of the grey. I'd order the navy in 8! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-701926 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:54:30 +0000 geargirl 701926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To my eye, the navy looks better. However, I prefer my jackets fitted. Would you not wear a 6 because it is too constricting? Is there enough give in the material of the 6 to make it comfortable? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-701919 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:50:10 +0000 Sona 701919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm for 8 navy too. I like the fit and color better on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-701917 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:48:32 +0000 Jjsloane 701917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look of the 8 better. It's not oversized, but even when I wear a jacket open I want it to look like it would be fine closed. And this is a bf type style. I got my regular size in this (the navy) despite the recommendation to size down. It was the same difference you are illustrating and I just felt a bit better in the larger size since I might layer a sweater or vest or turtleneck underneath. I'd vote order the 8 Navy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-return-angies-pick-gap-academy-blazer#post-701913 Fri, 24 Aug 2012 14:44:17 +0000 Isis 701913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Before my trip I purchased the Gap Academy Blazer. As usual, Angie is spot on in her recommendation. Although this has a lot of poly in it, the drape is wonderful and the fabric feels great!</p> <p>I bought 2 colors, navy (size 6) and gray (size 8). When I got home, I decided Navy will go better with my closet (and I don't have a Navy blazer!)</p> <p>But which size? The store only had the Navy in a 6 and the gray in size 8. The 6 fits best open, but I will only wear this open. The 8 is slightly more comfy in the shoulders when I raise my arms or bend forward.</p> <p>Which size is best; should I return these and order the Navy in an 8? </p>
