Might be worth reviewing a few shows or checking their books. Jacket styles have moved on since then, though. </p> <p>It's interesting to me that you've had trouble finding a blazer, stays fit, since your figure seems to be custom made for them. What about them ends up looking off? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-or-two-button-blazer#post-1533846 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 14:30:57 +0000 Staysfit 1533846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for weighing in Angie! </p> <p>I like the Armani style jacket. I think it fits my personality and I could imagine it looking good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-or-two-button-blazer#post-1533835 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 14:18:23 +0000 Angie 1533835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A one buttoned blazer is the more fashionable and modern choice.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-or-two-button-blazer#post-1533797 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 13:11:34 +0000 Anonymous 1533797@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Smaller breasted women can wear a blazer with a higher stance (buttons up higher - and is usually a 2 button) than those with a larger chest, who look better when the jacket buttons down lower (usually a one-button). &nbsp;That 's the conventional wisdom, anyways, and although I'm on the larger breasted side, i never wear a blazer buttoned up anyways, so I give myself a little lee=way with that "rule". &nbsp;I agree with Lisa's Armami-alike style suggestion. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-or-two-button-blazer#post-1533783 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 12:39:36 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1533783@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's not so much how many buttons, as where the buttons are (also how,the lapel is). How high or low the buttons are affects the proportion of the overall look, as does whether they are open or closed. I have kind of a short torso compared to my legs, so for me I look better in a blazer that has a long open v on top -- usually a one button.</p> <p>I know they aren't particularly on trend (maybe not even presently available) but I could see you in those pale neutral drapy blazers that seem to say Armani. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/one-or-two-button-blazer#post-1533769 Wed, 05 Aug 2015 12:23:28 +0000 Staysfit 1533769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How do you know if you better suit a one button or two button blazer? So far, I really don't love any blazer because I have never been able to find one that fits properly or looks correctly proportioned. Clearly my instincts have been leading me to the wrong places! I have no idea what I should be looking for? </p>
