I tried it on too and I was impressed.</p> <p>But, you’re right that this trend is growing. If neither seems perfect I’m sure there will be other options at similar prices this fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviewtry-ons-menswear-plaid-blazers---keep-or-sit-this-trend-out#post-1945414 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 23:33:28 +0000 Suz 1945414@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Halogen looks great on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviewtry-ons-menswear-plaid-blazers---keep-or-sit-this-trend-out#post-1945396 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 21:01:59 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 1945396@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote the Halogen one too. But since I haven’t seen it I’m also noting your concerns about wrinkling. That would annoy me and push the wears down.</p> <p>The second one I like too, but how much would alternation cost? It’s more equestrian and the first one more 1950s men’s suit (I’m thinking Mad Men early seasons). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviewtry-ons-menswear-plaid-blazers---keep-or-sit-this-trend-out#post-1945386 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 20:34:10 +0000 unfrumped 1945386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, wow, the Halogen looks great on you!

The color is more appealing and it nods to the trend of menwear without overwhelming.</p> <p>The second has potential, would you wear heavier under layers like a sweater to “fill”? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviewtry-ons-menswear-plaid-blazers---keep-or-sit-this-trend-out#post-1945375 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 18:53:47 +0000 CocoLion 1945375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first, the Halogen, because it fits better without alterations. &nbsp;But that's me, I'm into easy. &nbsp;I think the Halogen looks better on you than on the model. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/reviewtry-ons-menswear-plaid-blazers---keep-or-sit-this-trend-out#post-1945372 Sun, 05 Aug 2018 18:29:59 +0000 julesegr 1945372@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are my best efforts to take advantage of menswear blazer trend I've been seeing around. I like the idea of this look, but I don't want to pay a lot since I'm not sure the cost-per-wear will be all that high. So, after some trial-and-error, these were my best options at the price I was willing to pay. &nbsp;</p> <p><b>Halogen</b> - this was offered in petites, so it fits without any alterations. I like the color with denim but the fabric is a little lightweight for my climate and always seems to look wrinkled in photos. Doesn't look particularly "oversized" for that aspect of the trend, if that's important.&nbsp;Wild card: I also ordered this jacket in the navy pinstripe, but it hasn't arrived yet.</p> <p><b>Trouve</b> - this will require alterations, both in the sleeve and for the length, as I think it is too long even for the trend (I've tucked it under on one side to show the length I'm thinking about). However, the fabric is more substantial and I like the fall colors.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p>
