The sleeve length looks perfect, and overall it fits well with your style.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2237226 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 21:24:58 +0000 RobinF 2237226@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with the others that it looks great on you and is a gorgeous jacket! Love the style of it. And I know exactly what you mean about elastic waists, I have the same issue. For some reason if they make it elastic they think they can make it tighter and it'll stretch enough for everyone - nope, doesn't work that way.&nbsp;</p> <p>Maybe you need to do a try-on session with the pieces you have to make sure you will get enough wear out of it?</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2237224 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 21:16:19 +0000 lyn67 2237224@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Look&nbsp; so great on you and may I say I always prioritize a black blazer which is not all plain- say&nbsp; it has some other subtle flecks, or oinstripes, slub&nbsp; or tweedy pattern and ESPECIALLY if mixed with brown! That's great great way for softening the harsh black for us non brunettes-and makes it wearable with many more things, your ideea of pairing with fadded black jeans is Ok, but would bet it will look great with jet black and even ink blue (or fadded)! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2237076 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 08:47:27 +0000 Bijou 2237076@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Katerina, if you find two perfect items of things that you wear to work (so will get lots of opportunity to wear), it makes sense to get both. They are completely different and suit your style. Nili Lotan jackets are expensive BUT they are beautifully cut. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2237073 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 07:49:12 +0000 Katerina 2237073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Aritzia looks great! I would be tempted as well. If you would wear both of them, why not? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2237061 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 06:19:59 +0000 Greyscale 2237061@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I forgot to say that I also tried on this Aritzia cropped blazer earlier in the day. A cropped blazer has been on my wishlist for a while and this one is really lovely now that I've seen it in person. In fact, the sales associate was wearing the same one.</p> <p>I guess I could justify both, if I commit to wearing blazers most days to teach! Maybe I'll ask my guy for this one for my birthday (conveniently, the same week as Black Friday). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2237034 Mon, 08 Nov 2021 02:22:43 +0000 Jaime 2237034@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It just looks so natural on you - an organic part of your style. So yes worth it. Worth asking if there is a dry cleaner you regularly go to especially.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2236956 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 19:51:45 +0000 Greyscale 2236956@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Also, it needs to be steamed - big creases in the front. I have a little mini steamer but is that something a dry cleaning shop could do for a few dollars on the spot? If the fitting rooms had been open when I bought it, I’d have asked them to do it, but they’re closing the fitting rooms a few hours before the store now (staff shortages or theft problems?). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2236950 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 19:08:56 +0000 Suz 2236950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it for you! I personally don't see the problem with mixing blacks and one with a touch of brown can be "your" earth tone, LOL. Definitely keep.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2236942 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 18:20:59 +0000 Irina 2236942@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fits well on you, looks good, too. I think it is more unique than a black blazer albeit less versatile. But you probably already have a black blazer so this one could be a nice addition. Also, no alterations!!! It is saving right there </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2236925 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 16:47:52 +0000 Janet 2236925@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it for you! The fit looks great, and I see no problems combining it with black — there is enough contrast between the shades that it doesn’t look like you need to “match” it. But let’s see it with your softer black items if you get a chance. Greys can be tricky, but I think this looks terrific with the dark black and would suit blue denim as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2236924 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 16:25:38 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2236924@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How did it do with the other pieces you wanted to pair it with?<br /> ETA I think it’s great with straight up black. It brings out your hair somehow. </p> <p>I hear you on elastic waists. Either they’re so tight they cause tummy trouble or loose enough to slide around &amp; be annoying. I don’t sew, so idk what is in an ordinary/non-elastic waistband. I’m wondering if you could have the elastic taken out and replaced with a regular waistband. They’d probably have to cut out extra fabric from gathers for the original. Could make an already-expensive pair of pants even pricier, but if your sleuthing skills bring in a great price, you might want to have that checked out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2236923 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 16:10:57 +0000 slim cat 2236923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jacket looks good - right length/fit and perfect vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2236921 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 16:01:03 +0000 JAileen 2236921@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Get the jacket, stalk the pants. &nbsp;The jacket looks great on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2236919 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 15:57:22 +0000 Greyscale 2236919@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My problem with elastic waists is that I can’t stand things squeezing my belly (digestive issues). It’s weird but “hard pants” are actually more comfortable. If it’s loose enough maybe it’s ok. But sold out in my sizes anyway.</p> <p>But! It looks like they’re releasing one of their other pants cuts in the same fabric! Just available for preorder now, and $550, but maybe if I stalk them for a year… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2236915 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 15:06:29 +0000 Anonymous 2236915@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes from me, and yes to trying the pants if they appear in your size! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/nili-lotan-blazer#post-2236913 Sun, 07 Nov 2021 14:59:27 +0000 Anonymous 2236913@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Woah-love it on you.

This is my litmus test for premium tailoring. All my really good blazers have this feature. If not, it’s probably not worth the money.&nbsp;</li> <li>Does it fit the way you like it on the shoulders? Then it’s the right size.&nbsp;</li> <li>Would spending that kind of money keep you from filling a higher priority niche in the closet?</li> </ul> <p> <div>If the answers are (yes yes no) then I think you should buy it. It looks like a keeper to me.&nbsp;<br /></div></div><div><br /></div><div>Can you get the pants tailored? Would be nice to have the suit. ETA Don’t knock an elasticated waist.

I’ve been vaguely looking for a charcoal pinstripe blazer to round out my collection (the others are black or glen plaid). Today I stopped by Nordstrom Rack for the Clear The Rack sale and this Nili Lotan blazer jumped out at me. </p> <p>It’s amazing but I can’t decide if it’s worth the splurge. </p> <p>Pros: </p> </p> <ul> <li>I love the Nili Lotan aesthetic in general, and I love how this blazer looks on me, masculine and a bit rumpled. </li> <li>It fits well — and it’s the first time a blazer’s sleeves aren’t too long! </li> <li>Construction and fabric (wool) are amazing quality.</li> </ul> <p>Cons: </p> </p> <ul> <li>This particular charcoal has a hint of brown and might be hard to match with black. I’d wear it with faded black denim, not solid black as in the photo. I’ll have to try it with a few options to see if it works.</li> <li>It’s $280 even after the clearance discount (would normally be $850).</li> <li>The matching pants are sold out and also not my style (elastic waist) so I can’t wear it as a suit.</li> <li>I own a lot of blazers already. </li> <li>I wish I could try one size up (not an option) but I’m 95% sure this is the right size. If you look closely, you can almost see my arms pushing out the sleeves but really, it looks fine.</li> <li>Did I mention it’s $280? Which is an excellent price for this label, or any wool blazer, to be clear. But still. </li> </ul> (second find is the matching pants, but they're sold out in my size)</p>
