OBG #2 the same, but different

I haven’t worn this knit blazer since the pandemic started. this blazer is a knit, but it definitely reads blazer & not sweater. I paired it today #1 & 2 with super long wide leg jeans, I think this gives it a casual dressy vibe. #3 is from Jan 2018, & looking at it now, it looks ok but stale…funny how quickly we get accustomed to different silhouettes.

Thanks for looking. As always all comments and suggestions are welcome and appreciated

Oh, I just love knit blazers, structured but with some comfort and stretch. Yours is a great colour and works just as well with today's jean silhouette, as it did in the past.

Sadly I am stuck in the past. I like behind door # 3 best. I do not dislike the others as they are Fab too.
But also like your hair down. How often do you does it work for you to do that?

Absolutely love the new version, pure perfection! I am a big fan of knit blazers, they are excellent for WFH. I am also with you on the silhouettes - I have recently concluded, that when it comes to staying current, I am most sensitive to shapes. I perfectly happy to do my own thing, independent of trends, for colors or prints, but like to stay on top of current silhouettes and proportions.

Both work but I agree the first looks more current.

I think it's the classic jacket and jeans together - whereas the jeans with a different jacket would give a different vibe.

Great jacket - one of those pieces that could be really versatile across lots of different occasions.

The first outfit is excellent. Love those jeans and they mix well with the blazer. Agree completely about the second outfit - it is funny how quickly our eye adjusts.

LOVE the flared leg versions in #1! Elegant, fresh, and on trend

#3 works well too! Fab when you're in the mood for slim-fit tapered pants.

LOVE this with the flares. SO perfect especially with he cool belt. It does look so much more fresh than the skinnies. Skinnier jeans look great (more subdued?) too but the first ones knock it out of the park. Elevated and chic!

Both these looks are really nice imho. I love the blazer on you, and the slim jeans are still working!

I like both. LOVE knit blazers personally and those are the only sort I will buy. Had immense trouble replacing my soft black one which I am still using but found a thrifted one for $15 including a skirt ( the blazer fit, the pencil skirt was too small but fit my training-to-be-a-high-school-teacher daughter, who wore it several times with tights and fashion sneakers).

I am a very late adapter to new trends so I prefer the outfit in picture 3. But I like all outfits. You have such an amazing collection of jeans.

I like both versions! Big yay for knit blazers!

Kellygirl, subdued I like that , when I was writing this yesterday I was going to say conservative, but that sounded not quite right.
Indigoprint - these days when I never know if I’ll need to wear a mask or put on headphones (I can’t stand earbuds) for a teams call, I just find it easier to have my hair pulled back.

What Sal said. I love the white tee, belt, and boots with this latest version, and those wide-leg jeans are super fab on you.

Team knit blazers - and this is a nice one!
I didn't think "stale" when I got to #3, I thought, "this woman wears every type of jeans so amazingly!"
I like both looks a lot.

I also like both versions! Variety is the spice of life!
