K/R Blue blazer

Sanet

I do not own a blazer, but I found this one on sale and thought I'll give it a try.

How does it look? Please be brutally honest. Length? Does it look better with the sleeves scrunched or can long sleeves in #1 and 6 also work?

I am planning to add white bf/skinny jeans to my wardrobe soon and thought it might work well with that.

(I do not own a white tank top at the moment - the white "thing" in #2,4 and 5 is a vest. Obviously I won't wear it like that in public - just wanted to try it with something white. I think a white lace tank top could look nice.)

All comments greatly appreciated.

Sanet, I think this blazer is too big for you. It is a fraction too wide at the shoulders and roomy across the upper chest. The back is very roomy and this is partly due to the style, in other words, even a smaller size will still be roomy across the back because that's the way it's tailored.
I think the very low stance on this jacket looks better styled with long rather than cropped pants, which you might find rather limiting.
I vote return and wait for the perfect jacket.

I hate to say it, but I also think it's too big for you. Like Lantana said, it's the back that's worrisomely big. Many of the photos from the front look ok-ish...but as soon as I see it from the back I think, "nope...too big!"

There is a perfect blue jacket out there. Keep hunting!

So close (and you've done a great job styling it). There are a couple of telltale spots that send the "too big" message, and it doesn't quite look like it was cut to be that way on purpose. I like the tuxedo lapels and the color is pretty. One that fits properly in the shoulders will make you look even better though. Sorry!

I agree with the others. It does look a bit big. Blazers and jackets are SO hard to get right, so please don;t lose hope on this! Your styling is spot on!

The color is lovely and you have styled this so nicely! Scrolling through the pictures I was thinking it was too big too.

Thank you all. I guess it is going back then.
