My favorite black blazer is a L'Agence Kenzie with gold buttons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-modern-but-classic-blazer#post-2248331 Mon, 17 Jan 2022 02:37:20 +0000 Roberta 2248331@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also recommend Club Monaco, which I think is good quality. And unless they seem too staid, Talbots. Their Italian fabrics are really nice. And remember it is very easy to zhuzh up a blazer with new buttons! Even nice blazers tend to cheap out on the buttons. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-modern-but-classic-blazer#post-2248261 Sun, 16 Jan 2022 17:31:37 +0000 kkards 2248261@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For update basics like this I always think about Banana Republic.

I'll check Ellie Tahair. I hope have petite sizes.</p> <p>Griffyn - I'll have to check out Veronica Beard since I've never hear from her.&nbsp; I was eyeing the Everlane black blazer but I believe they were all sold out.</p> <p>AndiB - I've always wanted to try out Mango but we don't have a store here in DC, I know there's one in NYC. I'm not sure of the quality.</p> <p>Angie - Hugo Boss ---Ohhhhh a real designer jacket. That is something I should look into. MM LaFleur is something that's been popping up on my feed so I'll have to check them out also.&nbsp; I'm sure I'll have to get these hemmed. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-modern-but-classic-blazer#post-2247789 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 17:50:17 +0000 Mary Beth (formerly LBD) 2247789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My fingers are itching to click on those black jackets, but I promised myself I wouldn't buy any more black clothing.&nbsp; &nbsp;Must.&nbsp; Not.&nbsp; Click.&nbsp; &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-modern-but-classic-blazer#post-2247788 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 17:44:38 +0000 Angie 2247788@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful suggestions from <b>Gryffin!</b>&nbsp;</p> <p>Something a little different, just for fun, as I was browsing:&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/looking-for-a-modern-but-classic-blazer#post-2247767 Thu, 13 Jan 2022 12:55:17 +0000 Style Fan 2247767@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Veronica Beard and Smythe would be my suggestions.

I did buy a few items from Banana Republic Outlet but have realized how bad the quality has gotten, especially their sweaters.&nbsp; </p> <p>2022 is a big year for me.&nbsp; I plan on retiring from the government at the end of the year so don't plan on spending too much on work wear, however I do want a fab black blazer, something that I can wear both casually and to work.&nbsp; The last blazer I bought is about 5 years old and has been worn to death.&nbsp; I'm looking for something a bit edgy but still classic. Does that make sense?&nbsp; Any suggestions? </p>
