Which jacket to buy?

iamsteph

Hi,

I'm 5'2 and petite. I love two jackets Gap has right now - one is a dark denim blazer with 3/4 sleeves and the other is a navy "shrunken" blazer (will have to learn how to upload photos). Both are a cropped style which works with my height.

I'd like to wear one with trousers and skirts this spring/now and not just jwith jeans for business casual. Which one would work better? How would I style them?

Thanks!

I'm assuming this is the shrunken blazer: http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....pid=814294

And this is the denim jacket: http://www.gap.com/browse/prod.....pid=814294

I'm a 5'3" pretty pear and I would be leaning toward the shrunken blazer for myself. For some reason I think it would be more flattering. I think it would be perfect with pencil or a-line skirts over tees or button-downs. When I look for jackets to wear with skirts the shorter they are the better they seem to look.

Love the shrunken blazer. Both are nice but I think the shrunken would be more versatile. I have a 3/4 sleeve blazer which I love but find kind of limiting because of the sleeve length. I'd try them both and post pics : )

Thanks to both of you! And for the links to the photos - those are the two choices.
I think I will go with the shrunken blazer.

I saw the shrunken blazer in the store - the material is fantastic and I think it will be more versatile. You can order it in petite sizing on the site, and there's a 20% discount code (either GAPLOVE or LOVEGAP) at least for today.
