Yeah, I noticed the price discrepancy. If it had been the same as the online price I’d have bought it to take home and try with other jeans before deciding. I think I’ll go back today (different location - I was an hour from home yesterday - and maybe my local store has more sizes I can compare) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223280 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 17:12:50 +0000 Preppy Pear 2223280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, I tried that exact blazer on yesterday! You look great in it! If the rounded corners/less sharp shoulders don’t bother you too much, I would get it!<br /> I’m still considering it. I thought the quality was quite good. My store didn’t have it on sale but it is on a good sale on the website, in case your store doesn’t have it on sale, either, or if you ordered it before it went on sale - get a price adjustment.<br /> I tried it on in my usual size and I think it looked just a tad more fitted on me, maybe. I didn’t realize it was supposed to be a relaxed style until I looked it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223276 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 16:39:41 +0000 Greyscale 2223276@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>About the sleeves - I have very short arms and a long torso, so it’s essentially impossible for me to find sleeves that are the right length off the rack. I either get them tailored (when it’s worth the expense) or roll or scrunch the sleeves. I also have fairly muscular arms and J Crew sleeves are usually too narrow for me, so it’s interesting that this blazer has looser sleeves. But the overall effect is a bit sloppy on me. I’d like it better with sharper shoulders and a sleeve that hangs straight down instead of the almost puffed effect on this. Though it might just need to be steamed. </p> <p>Staysfit, I agree that it would be more my style without that rounded corner. Alas.</p> <p>I wish I’d taken a better photo with more care towards styling. Maybe I’ll try it on again with slim jeans and boots and a white tee, like I’d probably wear it. Hard to tell from this quick try-on. I was on my way home from dance class and it was 95 degrees so I couldn’t bear to wear it longer than a moment! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223275 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 16:36:17 +0000 bella 2223275@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it in the stock photos. Why don't you take it home and give styling a go? I think you will end up keeping it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223271 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 16:30:12 +0000 nemosmom 2223271@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the direction but agree something seems off. Maybe a size up would give you the a roomier/broader shoulder like the photo? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223270 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 16:20:21 +0000 Anonymous 2223270@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it fits really well - I look mostly at the shoulder and chest in a blazer, and while it does lean more classic than your usual, it's a really nice piece - just without the edge your looks usually have.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223255 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 15:13:40 +0000 Angie 2223255@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think its KILLER fab on you! On trend and in the right palette. A good item to remix with your edgy style. And I like it with the baggy jeans. Early '90s fabness.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223208 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 12:09:48 +0000 LaPed 2223208@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I think I might have to go try this on. More classic-tomboy than edgy-urban, maybe not the style direction you want? I would, however, like to see how it looks styled open, with some of your slimmer black jeans. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223205 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 12:00:35 +0000 N 2223205@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Vivienne Westwood is the queen of edgy and plaid </p> <p><a href="https://www.viviennewestwood.com/en/women/clothing/coats-and-jackets/" rel="nofollow">https://www.viviennewestwood.c.....d-jackets/</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223202 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 11:55:42 +0000 Staysfit 2223202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see what you mean about the sleeves, others have mentioned the length, and I also think they are too wide for your small frame. &nbsp;The plaid pattern looks fairly well matched between the torso and the sleeves, meaning the main bold horizontal bands of the pattern look aligned, although the pattern is not aligned in the stock photo. &nbsp;I would prefer something with sharper/straighter edges instead of the rounded edges where the center button placket meets the bottom hem. Maybe it’s the angle of the picture, or how you are standing to take the picture, but the pattern match looks a bit uneven. &nbsp;Maybe you do not care, but when I am buying something pricey like a blazer, I look carefully at those details. To my eye, it looks like there is more material underneath the last bold horizontal pattern line on your right (left in photo) than on the left, which makes me think the overall pattern is not matched well enough. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223184 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 10:10:20 +0000 Brooklyn 2223184@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it may be how you are wearing it here, but it looks a little classic for you. I see you more in an oversized style or longer length blazer. But it is a lovely blazer. Maybe if you were wearing more edgy bottoms. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223181 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 09:53:44 +0000 Minaminu 2223181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the pattern and colour but I am not sure it is the right piece for you, partly because I think an edgier cut would better fit your style but also because this blazer seems to be too long for you (sleeves and torso, this could be easily fixed by a good tailor though) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/plaid-blazer-quest-renewed#post-2223167 Sun, 12 Sep 2021 06:21:10 +0000 Sloper 2223167@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I get what you are saying about "edge."&nbsp; It doesn't have that structural thing I'd want to see in an oversize look. The J. Crew model is wearing it open - <i>wide </i>open, which I think makes it look more oversized than it really is (also it's worn over white - probably adding to the oversized effect).</p> <p>Maybe with narrower pants, or a tube skirt.</p> <p>But yeah, the style is more classic than edgey. </p>
