Then any minor shift in the fabric in cutting and sewing can affect the outcome - in other words some smalls and mediums ( for example ) are too close in size to notice any difference . It’s not like it’s a bespoke garment where the sewing and cutting are specific and detailed . I wouldn’t over analyze the differences between the two jackets and would pick the one that you feel best in , regardless of what the label says . I have to say that I still LOVE this jacket and wish I had it !! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m/page/2#post-2317251 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 14:56:45 +0000 anchie 2317251@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also have suspicion that M I have at home is actually also S, because it feels almost identical to S that I brought from store. I can’t tell which one I have on unless I check size. I think M I tried in store was little roomier. But difficult to tell now for sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m/page/2#post-2317245 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 14:37:19 +0000 Angie 2317245@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Makes sense!&nbsp;</p> <p>No, don't go for an L. The M is sufficiently fluid.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m/page/2#post-2317244 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 14:34:57 +0000 anchie 2317244@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie- I will get the navy blazer from the other thread and I still haven’t decided about this yellow cropped, but if I decide to keep it I will go with M. But looking at photos, I don’t see much difference in length between sizes and worry that even M is not long enough. Should I try L?<br /> Regarding the other blue blazer, thing is I already have many navy blazers in different weights and shapes, but not cropped, and one cropped would be sufficient, while other feels like duplication. I like this cropped yellow because I don’t have anything like it and color palette works with my wardrobe, that is why I am still thinking about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m/page/2#post-2317239 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 14:09:35 +0000 Angie 2317239@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anchie</b>, and <b>Suz</b>, thanks!&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Anchie</b>, the same jacket is very fluid on me. Roomy, but not oversized - which I don't wear unless it's a Summer linen shirt! The only reason I like the fit is because the jacket is SHORT and square. That part adds structure to my small frame. It's my usual Zara size, so I'm guessing this is the intended fit as Zara items typically fit me very well. Zara is also VERY on trend. Hence my preference for the M.&nbsp; </p> <p>I personally preferred the other two Zara tweed jackets on you - (on your other thread) - because they were longer, and a better proportion to my eye. I also thought the blues were nicer with your hair and complexion.&nbsp;</p> <p>All that said - YOU have to go with which jacket makes you happy. YOU are the wearer, and that is who you listen to :)&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m/page/2#post-2317222 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 12:26:22 +0000 April 2317222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YES.&nbsp; I love when I pick what Angie picks and for the same reason!&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>I responded more positively to the slightly longer M. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m/page/2#post-2317220 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 12:22:23 +0000 Anonymous 2317220@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shoulder fit better with the S, but length with M. If you'd wear thicker tops under though, go with the M. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m/page/2#post-2317215 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 12:05:38 +0000 Janet 2317215@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the slightly longer length to the M. Even on my short torso, when a jacket is super cropped, it can feel a little out of proportion. All other things being equal (shoulder fit looks good) I’d go with the slightly larger one. Plus you can more easily layer knitwear underneath. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m/page/2#post-2317201 Sun, 09 Apr 2023 05:51:09 +0000 Star (Lise) 2317201@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG something is going on with the sizing.&nbsp; Crazy...&nbsp; If you still not sure perhaps go back in-store and check other pieces S and M.&nbsp; Sizing and labeling is all over the place, even with more pricey items.&nbsp; How annoying. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m/page/2#post-2317159 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 19:35:46 +0000 Kate 2317159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the S on you because of the shoulder fit. Get what you feel most comfortable with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m/page/2#post-2317158 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 19:29:42 +0000 phoebe 2317158@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Especially because I can't really tell the difference I would go M if it was for myself</p> <p>Even the sleeve length looks the same </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317155 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 18:44:41 +0000 rachylou 2317155@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the second pic is the M… lol, but I have to ask if that’s right… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317153 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 18:38:37 +0000 anchie 2317153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Can you even tell which size is which? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317152 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 18:22:14 +0000 Dee 2317152@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Haha, maybe they are both actually mediums or perhaps smalls, who can be sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317149 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 18:14:17 +0000 anchie 2317149@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>No wonder I am so confused and undecided. I layed S on top of M and took this photo. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317148 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 18:05:48 +0000 Dee 2317148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The reason&nbsp;<b>Anchie</b>&nbsp;<b>that I had voted for medium</b> was because you had expressed a desire to update your blazers and I felt the medium with its slightly boxier fit is what’s currently trending.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317147 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 17:58:10 +0000 rachylou 2317147@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Boy it’s close. I lean towards the M because it’s a smidge longer. What did you decide? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317142 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 17:22:16 +0000 Suz 2317142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's really a fascinating lesson in how items look different on different wearers, even wearers who both suit the item and look fantastic in it! (As I think both you and <b>Angie</b> do in this jacket.It's a fabulous jacket for you both!)&nbsp;</p> <p>I have a slight preference for the medium on you but I would likely be wearing it (if it were mine) with knits beneath and wider bottoms, as in Angie's example, or possible with skirts. Maybe a try on session with other items in the closet is in order?&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317141 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 17:13:04 +0000 Star (Lise) 2317141@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anchie maybe you need to consider what style bottoms you will be wearing with this jacket and that will help you decide.&nbsp; Also I remember on another thread some time ago you decided you were more of a classic silhouette dresser.&nbsp; That said the difference in fit in S and M for you is minimal and barely noticeable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317139 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 17:05:20 +0000 anchie 2317139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie - Thanks a milion for the photo! I really like your outfit anf how blazer fits you. You are probably wearing XS? It is perfect on you and I do like the boxy fit on you but still getting used to it on me. I haven’t decided yet about mine, still going back and forth between S and M </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317135 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 16:47:43 +0000 SW Ann 2317135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shoulder fit of the small.&nbsp; Whichever one feels most comfortable, they both look great.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317134 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 16:35:38 +0000 Angie 2317134@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Anchie</b>, and <b>Star</b>, FWIW..</p> <p>I have this jacket and wore it yesterday, actually! I know the fit. (See pic in very bad light. Outfit brighter in person!). It's suppose to be boxy, and has subtle sharp shoulders.</p> <p><u>On you:&nbsp;</u></p> <p>S = classic and tailored</p> <p>M = modern and trendy&nbsp;</p> <p>Look at how boxy it is on me. Boxier than the M on you, to my eye.&nbsp; I have narrow square shoulders. It's longer on me too.&nbsp;</p> <p>I also prefer the length of the M on you,<b> anchie.</b>&nbsp;</p> <p><b></b>That said, <b>Anchie,</b> you are MUCH happier in the S and I fully support that. Keep the S!&nbsp;</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317130 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 16:11:45 +0000 DonnaF 2317130@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Will you ever wear this buttoned? Also, try the jacket with the various tops you might wear underneath. Have you done the hug test, sit down test (with jacket buttoned), and arms stretched forward test? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317129 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 16:05:07 +0000 anchie 2317129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am thinking about it too, sometimes I just don’t see something that is so obvious to others, especially to Angie. That is why I appreciate feedback so much, it opens my eyes. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317128 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 16:01:03 +0000 Star (Lise) 2317128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>We cross posted.&nbsp; I&nbsp;<i>am&nbsp;</i>curious though&nbsp;<i>why&nbsp;</i>Angie said M.&nbsp; She is probably seeing something I am missing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317126 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 15:56:03 +0000 Star (Lise) 2317126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So then it probably won't matter that much which one you keep.&nbsp; Like I said S looks neater on the shoulder from behind.&nbsp; You mentioned possible weight loss so maybe S is the one.&nbsp; &nbsp; Also noticed neater in the back area in general.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317125 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 15:52:57 +0000 Indigoprint 2317125@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The small seems to fit neater in the back around your waist, as long as it is not too snug elsewhere. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/zara-blazer-s-or-m#post-2317124 Sat, 08 Apr 2023 15:50:56 +0000 anchie 2317124@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can button and move freely in both. I can’t easily tell which one I have on, difference is so minor. </p>
