Based on your comparison, it seems like neither size is giving you the exact look or comfort you're going for. If you're unsure about the Caslon Knit Blazer, it might be worth returning it, especially since you've already found great pieces from this year's NAS.

Especially this past NAS.

This blazer is a very strong will be useful in the fall, so I'm going to keep the larger size in anticipation of it becoming a workhorse.

Seems like this one is strong <i>might be useful&nbsp;</i>instead of a hell yes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-the-navy-caslon-blazer-round-two#post-2368121 Mon, 19 Aug 2024 09:31:09 +0000 Jenni NZ 2368121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can see what you say about both sizes I suppose, but I still like the original one. My own experience with a softer less formal blazer was I just wore it and wore it, so much more comfortable.<br /> I think I would be a Yay myself but you must be happy of course. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-the-navy-caslon-blazer-round-two#post-2368116 Mon, 19 Aug 2024 08:19:57 +0000 Star (Lise) 2368116@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>There is something about the fit of this blazer (in both sizes) that I am not loving, hence I did not comment on the first post.&nbsp; If you don't feel great in either I agree send them back.&nbsp; Or Next, as <b>Angie</b> would say :)&nbsp; That said, let us see what she thinks. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-the-navy-caslon-blazer-round-two#post-2368109 Mon, 19 Aug 2024 02:28:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2368109@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lisa, I really like the look of the small size blazer on you. I agree with you that it has the more casual look of the oversized trend, without looking too big. I don't see an issue with the back flipping out. (I can't see much of what you are describing at this size.) And I bet if you aren't standing with your arms in front of you to hold the phone for a photo, the back probably hangs just fine. I do think the smaller size may not hang as well in back, given what you say about where the vent starts on your body. So I'd encourage you to keep and enjoy the new blazer with the rest of your great NAS finds! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-the-navy-caslon-blazer-round-two#post-2368108 Mon, 19 Aug 2024 02:05:53 +0000 Lisa 2368108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p> <div>Hello.</div><div><br /></div><div>I had a couple of comments to try the smaller size of the Caslon Knit Blazer <a rel="nofollow" href="https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nas-the-navy-caslon-blazer-long">from this post.</a></div><div><br /></div><div>Here's the comparison. Excuse the unstyled outfits, I wore white jeans to have a strong contrast against the blazer to try to show the fit.</div><div><br /></div><div>1. Caslon Blazer in Small - Front<br /></div><div>From the front, the blazer looks slightly oversized.<br /> I thought the fit of the Small would be a nod to the oversized, more casual, blazer trend, but if it looks too big, then it'll have to go back.</p> <p> </div><div><br /></div><div>2. Caslon Blazer in Small - Side View</div><div>The side view is where things may look a little off? There's a little fishtail near the backside.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>3. Caslon Blazer in Small - Fish tails</div><div>Here's another look at what I'm calling fishtails.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>4. Caslon Blazer in X-Small - Front</div><div>From the front, the X-Small blazer looks more form fitting. This fit is reminding me of my structured blazers, which fit similar to this. I was hoping a knit blazer would be less formal looking though.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>5. Caslon Blazer in X-Small - Side View</div><div>The side view is again where the fit looks off to me. Now it's got a bit of flare near the backside.</div><div><br /></div><div>6. Caslon Blazer in X-Small - Flaring Out</div><div>Here's a close up of what is flaring out. I noticed that in the smaller size, the split hem in the back starts exactly at the top of my backside, which is why it is flaring out. The larger size was longer so that seam is slightly lower which is why it doesn't flare, and probably why it fishtails a little instead.</div><div><br /></div><div>I have plenty of great pieces from this year's NAS, so this blazer may end up going back since it doesn't seem like I'm loving the fit on this piece.<br /></div><div><br /></div><div>Thanks for looking!<br /></div> </p>
