Navy wool schoolboy blazer (also comes in petite! Double yay!) $178.00
Since I've got jackets on my mind, might as well answer the long asked question on "How should jackets fit?" which I got months ago! Ooops! Sorry about that! But here it is, finally!
Any tips on where to get nice fitting blazers and how to evaluate the perfect fit?:)
The best fitting jackets I've seen so far, that are reasonably priced, would be from H&M, Zara, Mango and Topshop. J. Crew would be nice, but darn, they cost quite a sum! I personally have yet to succumb!
But hey, if you can get a well fitting blazer for much less, why spend a lot right? Here are some points to remember when trying on a jacket/blazer for size.
The shoulder pads should sit on your shoulder. If they extend or droop, you have to go down a size. The shoulder of your jacket should look like this:
You'll know the sleeve length is right when it falls right before the wrist bone:
When it comes to length, it should hit right at the hip, except for long boyfriend style blazers which should hit at the low hip:
Now that's easy to remember right? Hope this helps! =)
