We may just stumble across a new winning silhouette!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2207441 Sun, 04 Jul 2021 09:31:43 +0000 Minaminu 2207441@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's , interesting that you all see great potential in double breasted blazer! I would have thought otherwise! Looking at the pictures and reading the comments, I can understand why. Thank you!!!!</p> <p>@Janet, I am not an artist but art plays an important role in my life and has brought so much joy and relief during the last 18 months! Some people can buy a print online, I need to see it and like to talk to the artist. If I win the lottery, I'd ask for a pair of commissions! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2207357 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 23:59:50 +0000 Janet 2207357@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>On behalf of artists everywhere, I say thank you for supporting art! :-)</p> <p>It’s a shame about the second blazer because it looks promising from the pics, but I understand what you mean about the issues. White, particularly in something as tailored as a blazer, is so unforgiving! </p> <p>Well, onward…maybe your next find will be the winner. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2207353 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 23:19:54 +0000 Angie 2207353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YAY for new artwork and getting your first jab, <b>Minaminu</b>! Congrats :)</p> <p>These blazers were a bust, but you have a better sense as for what to look for next. The double breasted blazer silhouette has great potential. Good length and flattering lines. Now you need one in better fabric, and with less of a sharp shoulder!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2207341 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 20:44:49 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2207341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>“What sins they should cover” lol. You meant “what loveliness they get to enhance”. Pity the double-breasted is cheap material, because it does look nice. Interesting about the other one—shawl collars can be formal or casual. I never know which until I see the item, but now I see. Thanks for posting the photos! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2207334 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 20:10:37 +0000 Minaminu 2207334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Today I received both blazers and they will both be returned. <br />Apologies for the pics quality! </p> <p>I tried them with the navy jumpsuit, so it is possible to see what sins they should cover...</p> <p>The double breasted looks ok but the material is very cheap, the sleeves are too long and the shoulders have too much padding. </p> <p>The lapel jacket is a bit difficult to comment as I received it all creased, the material has a nice flowy fit, however the sleeves are too long and Angie was right ont the stand! </p> <p><b>Bonus of the year so far</b>: today I went to the an art fair and finally bought a print that I have been eyeing since Jan. It was nice to see the artist and talk about her work. And tomorrow I will be double vaccinated :)</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206212 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 19:02:45 +0000 Minaminu 2206212@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So many wise comments!

I would get more wear out of 2.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206126 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 14:30:33 +0000 Anonymous 2206126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both - and the second one is the same design Smythe uses every season. That said, fit is everything. &nbsp;I personally find DB styles need to be absolutely perfectly fitted in order to hang nicely when not worn buttoned up, otherwise it just looks wrong. I've always loved the look of a low-stance tuxedo jacket worn casually, with a t-shirt and jeans so ......they are both completely different to me. Buy both &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206123 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 14:18:08 +0000 gryffin 2206123@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi Minaminu - I actually like both blazers a lot.&nbsp; I am a slim rectangle and tuxedo shawl collars work brilliantly on me esp as I favor long over lean with both tunics and slim/skinny bottoms.&nbsp; The double breasted that your picked is similar to the VB/Balmain style but not as angled at the base.&nbsp; This style works best, for me, if the jacket is very fitted.&nbsp; This way when it's unbuttoned there is not too much fabric and hangs prettily.&nbsp; I think you really need to try them on.&nbsp; I did purchase this white linen blazer from everlane (still available on poshmark and ebay)&nbsp;<a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.everlane.com/products/womens-os-linen-blazer-bone">https://www.everlane.com/produ.....lazer-bone</a><br />It does have a low stance but is very flattering but more casual.&nbsp; Hope that helps, but both very lovely choices. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206094 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 11:27:25 +0000 Janet 2206094@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It’s tricky without seeing them on you. I have a large bust so I find those low stances very tricky. But double breasted can be equally problematic. However, that particular double-breasted style has a nice angled cutaway that can make it work. It all comes down to fit on your particular shape! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206091 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 11:12:37 +0000 kkards 2206091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a love of double breasted blazers so I’d chose that one, but as mentioned above, its really about how it looks on you </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206085 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 10:21:41 +0000 Brooklyn 2206085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just noticed Angie’s point about the stance of no 1. Do you wear many high waisted bottoms? If so no 2 might be better because the button on no 1 might sit lower than your waist line, which can be an issue if you tuck in your tops. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206083 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 10:16:26 +0000 Brooklyn 2206083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer no 2 but they are quite different. The colour of the second looks whiter. Also it looks more cropped. No 2 might work better with skirts. No 1 might work better with pants. I’d try them both on with a few bottoms and go with your instincts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206077 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 09:29:58 +0000 Jenni NZ 2206077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Actually I far prefer #1! Always worried when I disagree with Angie though </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206073 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 09:18:15 +0000 Deborah 2206073@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #2 but I think it depends on your personal style.&nbsp; #1 reads as very classic to me but #2 is very modern, still has an element of classic but it also has some edge.&nbsp; It will look amazing over everything from jeans and joggers to a sophisticated and elegant dress. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206056 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 08:21:49 +0000 Star (Lise) 2206056@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For me these are so different.&nbsp; I would consider what they will be used for.&nbsp; 2 has a more formal look to me.&nbsp; Also color, on my screen #2 is white, so it depends if you prefer white or cream.&nbsp; I, for example, with my cool skin color do not wear cream very well and prefer true white.&nbsp; Both look wonderful, but I guess it will boil down to what they look like on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206052 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 07:57:53 +0000 Sisi 2206052@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the second one, but I have always liked shortish jackets and metallic buttons. :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2206046 Tue, 29 Jun 2021 06:37:22 +0000 cat2 2206046@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would try them both on, as it sounds like you don’t yet know which will better suit your shape. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2205999 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 23:34:17 +0000 Anonymous 2205999@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the first one best except you may want a lighter weight fabric for summer.<br /> Agreeing with Rachy, double breasted can be tricky. When you get them both. Try on and then evaluate. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2205998 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 23:25:01 +0000 rachylou 2205998@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you have any other double-breasted blazers? I personally find them tricky. All depends a little on body type. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2205968 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 20:55:17 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2205968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Just from looks, I like the first one, but it's all about how it fits... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2205965 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 20:53:29 +0000 missvee 2205965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Are you planning to wear the blazer open? &nbsp;If so, I think the double breasted style will be more challenging. &nbsp;That style never seems to hang properly unless it’s buttoned. &nbsp;The tuxedo one however could look great worn open, but might be harder to style done up with its low stance. &nbsp;I know, I’m no help. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/white-blazer-which-one#post-2205953 Mon, 28 Jun 2021 20:15:23 +0000 Sal 2205953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both a lot.

I am still in the process of lightening up my wardrobe and have been looking into a white blazer. </p> <p>I found a preloved cream blazer with a shawl neckline and placed the order. I thought the cut looks fine with extra weight but also when I go a size down.</p> <p>Yesterday though I saw this double breasted blazer from M&amp;S - the gold buttons may need to be replaced but I am now wondering if I chose the wrong cut/blazer. </p> <p>Opinions, please? </p> </p> <p></p>
