Blazer refresh K/R - YouLookFab Forum

I’ve been looking for a white blazer for a while.
#1 & 2 petite
#3,4&5 regular
I’m liking this one from banana republic..it’s a substantial fabric that I could wear now but not so heavy that it wouldn’t work for summer. I bought the regular in store & had the petite ordered. Thoughts on fit? I’m leaning towards the regular because I like the longer look and where the button hits...but open to hearing opinions.

The other blazers I’m thinking about.

#6, 7. &8 The Boden double breast. Fabric is fabulous... I have a love of double breasted...but only wanted to add if it’s an 8 or more.
# 9 Also the Boden long blazer. I was surprised at how heavy this blazer was...it would work for now, but by May it will be too heavy, but would work again for fall. Thoughts?
I apologize for the pictures...I’m never the best but today I seemed to struggle even more
As always all thoughts and opinions welcome

I think I like petite better but it is not big difference. I like Boden double breasted and have the same in the red color, but have to warn you that it wrinkles quite a bit. I also have Boden blazer in the same fabric as longline and agree that is too heavy for the summer. I am actually looking for a white spring blazer and lightweight summer navy blazer myself. Haven’t ordered anything yet but will soon.

For a summer blazer I think I prefer the wrist-baring sleeves of the petite. Fit looks a little bit tidier too.

Love both navy blazers, but if you're trying to decide between the two, I prefer the double-breasted style.

I actually like the petite better too.
I love the double breasted blazer on you!!!
Alongside it, the other navy blazer seems like nothing special.
However, I am emphatically not a blazer wearer so grain of salt etc.

I prefer the regular white blazer because the petite sleeves look too short for me, as it’s a pretty traditional look.

Double breasted looks like a nice tailored fit but maybe not as seasonally flexible.

Another vote for the petite white from me too . And I like the navy DB a lot ! I also like your blonde hair

Can you try a smaller size of the BR in regular? It seems a little bit big on you.
I love the Boden double breasted jacket, it looks like a truly special piece even if it is a cold weather garment.

I like the petite white one best, followed by the double breasted one too.

glad everyone seems to love the Boden DB...that's a keeper...i'm on the fence with the other one, but leaning towards return....

JoyceB unfortunatly, this is the smallest size blazer that BR has...
lisa p...thanks...i'm liking the blonde as well...

i can see what you all see on the petite BR blazer....i think i need to try them both again...

I love the double breasted blazer on you, both bottomed and open. Open is looks like a regular blazer. I am leaning toward the petite in the white but a smaller size in regular sounds like the best idea. For summer you will probably not be layering much under it...maybe not sleeves, but keep what you will wear the most.

Another thumbs up on the navy dB. I am torn between the petite and regular only because of the sleeve length on the petite. Does one feel more comfortable than the other? They both look very nice so I don’t feel you can go wrong.

I vote petite on the white - FAB for Spring & Summer.

Gorgeous Boden blazer. KILLER on you. YES, it's heavy, and I mentioned that in the roundup. It's like a VB blazer at a fraction of the price. Keep, and wear again for Fall.

Angie...thanks for weighing in.....ok, petite BR stays. Re the Boden....yes the BD Addlestone is exactly what i expected, as as you descriped....it was the Boden Jersey blazer that was heavier than what i execpted, some how i read Jersey and assumed ligher weight...

The white jacket overall looks great bug the R size looks too big, too flared. If the petite arms aren’t too short( maybe nut perfect thumb joint length but don’t LOOK like you’ve outgrown your jacket- the P fit is tidier and I think your frame needs that.
