I bought a $15 thrifted soft blazer as well but it is slightly tight.<br /> Of the two you have shown, I like the second one better. It will be interesting to see which is better in person. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265629 Wed, 01 Jun 2022 16:52:54 +0000 kkards 2265629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie --i love that one from Ruti...i fact, i now love so much from this new to me brand...if the neither of the 2 i've ordered work, i will definitely order that one to try&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265553 Tue, 31 May 2022 18:26:01 +0000 bella 2265553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am a little late to the party but I really like #2.

I bought it from JCrew, a dupe of a Gucci design. Not sure if they have something similar.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265436 Tue, 31 May 2022 01:35:23 +0000 Jaime 2265436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Since you ordered both I will wait and see before offering an opinion. My #1 stalking destination is TheRealReal - eventually (almost) everything gets there. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265429 Tue, 31 May 2022 00:09:53 +0000 Carla 2265429@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1 the best for what you describe. &nbsp;#2 looks a bit like what I often wear as a gym warm-up jacket, especially when zipped up. &nbsp;In the photo of it looking like a jacket, the model is clutching it - and that gives me pause for it worn open/jacket style. &nbsp;I very much like the beaded bomber you ordered! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265427 Mon, 30 May 2022 23:48:17 +0000 Anonymous 2265427@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first jacket best because of the higher neckline. &nbsp;The second jacket has very different looks &nbsp;when worn zipped up or open. &nbsp;Zipped up it will really emphasize your breasts. &nbsp;I used to have a similar silhouette jacket with angled zipper. &nbsp;Even being small busted it was too body con. &nbsp;Open was ok but it was cold. &nbsp;See what you think. &nbsp;It may look completely different on you. &nbsp;Mine was not a knit but had a bit of stretch. &nbsp;I took it on a trip and mostly wrote it under a puffer jacket, even inside. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265405 Mon, 30 May 2022 21:06:16 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2265405@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one look more like what I was seeing as I read your description.

It’s fleece, but looks a little nicer than a regular fleece. &nbsp;If they were smart they would bring it back. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265401 Mon, 30 May 2022 20:37:47 +0000 kkards 2265401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Xtabay, that RL one looks great, i hope it works! In my searching i did find something form RL that i came debated ordering, but it was a little more “sweater” like than what I’m looking for. I also found this one from, from m.m.lafleur which is looks very similar to what you’ve ordered but was more than i want to spend, and maybe a smidge more dressy than what I’m aiming for. &nbsp;<br />Kate, i have navy pants for Saint and Sofia, and IRL that navy is a smidge brighter than i looks on line, and I’m hoping this is the same.<br />approprio, yes i suspect that this will be an piece that i find a lot of almost, and given keep an almost or two before finding the “this is it” piece…I’ve tried, and continue to try TheRealReal and Vestiaire collective, because I think this piece is out there, most likely from a small brand that i’ve never heard of…in the mean time, that search lead me to this awesome beaded silk bomber jacket, that was just perfect for a dinner honoring my mom.&nbsp;</p> <p>I ended up ordering both…so stay tuned&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265400 Mon, 30 May 2022 20:26:59 +0000 Sal 2265400@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They are both nice - and that useful dressiness level. Would be good to try and style and see. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265398 Mon, 30 May 2022 19:51:05 +0000 Anonymous 2265398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those all look pretty great and versatile. &nbsp;It would be hard to choose a favorite. &nbsp;I spotted and ordered this one while browsing on the sale stuff at ralphlauren.com. &nbsp;It's belted, which I like, and is also hand-washable, which I also liked. &nbsp;I'm looking forward to getting it to see if it might work.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265390 Mon, 30 May 2022 19:25:02 +0000 rachylou 2265390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really love #2.

The second jacket gives me pause because in the photo it reads as a very dull navy with a flat finish. Take that with a grain of salt; I am super picky about shades of navy, and that one would not pass my color filter. That might not matter to you at all. The shape of #2 is attractive, and I can see each one of them working for you.</p> <p>Let us know what you choose. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265384 Mon, 30 May 2022 19:06:10 +0000 approprio 2265384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The link to the first failed. The second looks very promising, although the zipper makes it more like a fleece than a jacket. Definitely worth a try though.&nbsp;</p> <p>I suspect you’re looking for something rather special. I say this because the pieces I have that do what you describe are all quite high end, typically either thrifted or very fortuitous sale purchases.&nbsp;This is why I like a vintage blazer. Have you looked at lightweight tweed? &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265381 Mon, 30 May 2022 18:16:51 +0000 Anonymous 2265381@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great! It looks like there Is a $14 shipping fee with The White Company unless you buy something else. But they are offering 15% off for the holiday. Free shipping with Saint and Sofia with $21.00 discount. Good deals all around!<br /> I would choose Saint and Sofia because you have had success with them in the past </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265375 Mon, 30 May 2022 17:10:21 +0000 always trying 2265375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #1.&nbsp; I also am finding I would like to find something more like smart casual.&nbsp; Something warm enough, not fleece or sweatshirt casual, not blazer dressy, etc.&nbsp; Everything seems to be too heavy or linen, so fabric is also an issue.&nbsp; Currently I only have my bulky cardi that I posted a while ago. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265374 Mon, 30 May 2022 16:56:51 +0000 cat2 2265374@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Have you checked Boden?

Also would generally be wearing full length pants with fabric that is warm knit. Blazer style works with more pants for me but agree would not want it to look too dressy so eithe fabric or details needed to casualize it.<br /> So you might want to pull out some of the outfits you’d expect to wear with it and you probably have some toppers is similar styles that might work as stand- ins to try on for silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265366 Mon, 30 May 2022 16:13:12 +0000 Janet 2265366@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try both too — but the first seems like it would layer underneath easier, the second seems more fitted. </p> <p>My equivalent is this jacket in Finds. Inexpensive, comfortable and polished — it became an immediate workhorse! So much so that when I saw the same style but with a hood and in grey, I bought that too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265365 Mon, 30 May 2022 16:07:49 +0000 Cardiff girl 2265365@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 for me.l find that a knitted jacket in this shape is really useful.It bridges the gap between a more formal blazer and a more casual sweat top.It is the sort of jacket l get the most use out of for my casual lifestyle.Hope this helps with the decision. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265363 Mon, 30 May 2022 16:03:11 +0000 kkards 2265363@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Slim cat…as part of my will this be the one ordering from last year, i did try 2 Nick &amp; Zoe pieces, and they were sooo close, but neither was exactly what i was looking for.<br />Angie, i might/probably will end up ordering both, but as i think they both ship from over seas, i thought I’d solicit feedback 1st to see if there was any thing thought that pushed me squarely in one direction.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265359 Mon, 30 May 2022 15:44:33 +0000 Angie 2265359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both! </p> <p>I'd order both in and see which you prefer, and which works better with your wardrobe.

I have Nick &amp; Zoe soft grey-blue jacket that works well in between seasons - soft navy jacket would be great new piece. Post more if you'll go ahead with ordering ( I never tried those brands ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/which-would-you-choose-2#post-2265351 Mon, 30 May 2022 15:22:34 +0000 kkards 2265351@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>When chewyspaghetti asked about your current obsessions, i should have also mentioned a navy jersey or fleece jacket/blazer. I’m looking for something less than a blazer but more than a sweatshirt. Something that’s more smart casual than plain casual. &nbsp;Over the last year or so, I’ve ordered a couple of things i thought could work, but so far what I’m looking for has eluded me.&nbsp;<br />Anyway, I’ve found 2 more that I’m thinking of trying, and wondering what you think. As you can see, they are both very different. I have no personal experience with the 1st company, so looking for any feedback on The White Company. The 2nd is from a company that Angie highlight &nbsp;a year or so ago, and i bought some pants which i really like.<br />As you can see, these are very different silhouettes and wondering what you think….or if you have any other ideas?&nbsp;</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.thewhitecompany.com/us/Textured-Jersey-Jacket/p/A00998?swatch=Navy">https://www.thewhitecompany.co.....watch=Navy</a></p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="https://saintandsofia.com/collections/womens-jackets/products/cotton-biker-jacket-navy">https://saintandsofia.com/coll.....acket-navy</a> </p>
