I have decided I desperately need a blazer now that the weather is getting a bit chilly. I already have two black ones but don't like either of them as they look like the top half of a business suit and I want something that looks less office-y.
It needs to be a dark neutral - black or grey (possibly navy) but I'm thinking what would make it look less suit-like is a bit of texture in the fabric, maybe a flecked design (although not stripes). Needs to be a bum-covering length.
Can't find one anywhere. By far the best I've seen was this from River Island - perfect shape, good colour/fabric (bit of texture, sort of flecked) but the quality is awful - it's unlined and looks really limp even when brand new on the hanger so I imagine it would look like a boiled rag after two wears.
Don't want to spend hundreds but could go up to £80/£90 for the right one. Does anyone have any inspired ideas?
