Sound terrible for my body type AND desires (I want drapey but not cheap-looking). Seems like the Theory was meant to be for you...let us know what you decide! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer/page/2#post-927654 Wed, 08 May 2013 17:39:27 +0000 ElleH 927654@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for your input.</p> <p>Una I plan to wear it with jeans. I haven't tried it on with dresses to see if I like the length. Usually I prefer cropped jackets with dresses. I also haven't tried it with flats, only low &amp; higher heels. I hope it isn't too leg shortening. I also want to see what it is like with slouchy trackpants. I'm thinking I might ned a shrunken blazer for those but I hope not.</p> Una My Theory one is called Shinna</p> <p>Vix I tried the Banana Republic one &amp; the fabric was so thin you could see the seam allowance at shoulder &amp; chest pocket lining. It also did a weird thing over my bust, that even the Theory one does buttoned but the Banana Republic did it unbuttoned too. The Banana Republic was a good fit &amp; style. A small bust would do better but the seam allowance thing isn't good.</p> <p>. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer/page/2#post-927632 Wed, 08 May 2013 17:25:53 +0000 catgirl 927632@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Elle, I don't know if this is the same jacket I just posted but it looks so good on you that I'm thinking of returning mine!&nbsp; How do you plan to style it at this length?&nbsp; I am struggling with wearing longer blazers these days and would love any suggestions. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-927501 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:54:47 +0000 Vix 927501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hi Elle --<br /><br />I'm going to enable with an extra push as I tried that blazer on during my month of&nbsp;million-white-jackets but couldn't justify the price tag given my climate and pickiness about needing strong sun to feeeeeel right in white.<br /><br />IIRC you are in sunnier climes and/or travel to them more than I do, though, and this *does* look fantastic on you; I think you'll get many years out of the silhouette.&nbsp;[I echo the suggestions for bringing the sleeves up a bit, though.]<br /><br />I so hear you on everything else seeming not-so-great now that you've tried this. I returned 2 white blazers and ended up buying taupe because of that. ;)<br /><br />I *will* say that Banana Republic has a tuxedo blazer at a much less step price point (esp. when you factor in their constant 30-40% off sales). It's been online-only and I used up my budget so didn't even try, but I remain intrigued. A couple of good reviews and mentions that&nbsp;it looks expensive.<br /><br />It won't be THAT jacket but it may meet your needs enough. /de-enabling &nbsp;;)<br /><br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=87056&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=409897002">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....=409897002</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-927494 Wed, 08 May 2013 13:43:26 +0000 Anonymous 927494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I missed tis post when it started, but that jacket is sensational!

I have a Theory suit that is three years old and it's still going strong. There is no substiture for this type of modern classic longevity. It's the gift that keeps on giving. <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-927254 Wed, 08 May 2013 01:44:57 +0000 Beth 927254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Oooh, this gives me shivers of gorgeousness, Elle.&nbsp;&nbsp;It's a beautiful jacket on you.&nbsp;I agree with Eliza that while you can get away with lesser quality for some colors, crisp white needs to be tailored and well-made and this one is.<br /><br />The only question I have is that it does look a bit&nbsp;roomy at the hip. Any chance you can size down? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-927165 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:45:27 +0000 ElleH 927165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I will wear the sleeves scrunched so I don't think I will bother having them shortened, though maybe I should so I have the option to wear unscrunched. I dont think relining is affordable though &amp; I'd be worried they'd ruin the integrity of the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-927142 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:10:16 +0000 Anonymous 927142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It is absolutely stunning on you! If you can abide by the polyester lining (a crime in a jacket of that price IMO), keep it. Maybe get a bid from a tailor on relining in silk or rayon in case you decide to do that down the road.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-927140 Tue, 07 May 2013 23:06:50 +0000 Parsley 927140@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ It looks sensational on you!<br />Will you get the sleeves shortened just a tad? https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-927105 Tue, 07 May 2013 22:38:54 +0000 bj1111 927105@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am wearing a theory pant suit as I reply.

I never wear my blazers buttoned so I didn't take a pic of it. The lining is polyester which bugs me for a cotton blend Summer blazer. Why couldn't they do a rayon lining? They used to use silk in the old days but they want a bigger profit so that isn't going to happen! I think that I wouldn't wear one if it was really hot though so I will accept the lining. I do understand unlined ones for Summer. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-926907 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:44:33 +0000 Diana 926907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ That is absolutely beautiful and it looks like it fits perfectly.&nbsp; I think the style will have staying power.&nbsp; <br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-926905 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:43:49 +0000 Anonymous 926905@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks pretty classic too. It's gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-926904 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:43:01 +0000 rachylou 926904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This looks incredible on you! (Altho, I'd like to see a pic of it buttoned to double check.) I think it could last forever and will work with everything. $395 is a fair price IMHO for a good, lined blazer. If you can make rent, I'd keep it. Haha.<br /><br />It IS lined, right? I was at Neiman's the other day, trying on Theory and Tahari (I think),&nbsp; and everything the salesgirl was bringing me was unlined. Crazy talk!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-theory-off-white-blazer#post-926898 Tue, 07 May 2013 17:37:34 +0000 rae 926898@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Ooh, I LOVE that blazer! I think it is a classic, too. I want one now! lol
