The quest for a blazer.

Hello there. I am in search of a blazer that goes with brown/grey/denim trousers/jeans and is flattering in a loose enough so I can eat a good meal Grin but fitted enough so that I don't look square. Thank you, all suggestions welcome! Flowers

I have this

And it gets loads of compliments and is just lovely! Gap do so many 30% off offers too so I got it for around £30 which was a bargain!

That is fab. I want it!
How is the sizing?
Do you think it could work with huge boobs?

I have that blazer and agree it is very flattering even with boobs. (I am 34E). I find Gap sizing pretty true to size.

I recently bought this from Zara. I think Zara do the best high street quality blazers generally. So many blazers are made out of annoying/rubbish fabrics so best to go have a feel!

I'm and 8-10 and was between small and medium and went small in the end as fitted better...zara are a bit tricky with sizing though.

Ooh lots of places to visit then! Thank you all so much ladies! Thanks and Wine.

As a second question (sorry) What colour blazer do you think would work well with most of these outfits? bottoms (b), top (t)

these are my brown trousers

(b) brown jegging trousers, (t) maroon top
(b) brown jegging trousers, (t) navy lace camisole and red/navy top
(b) brown jegging trousers, (t) white blouse/ white v neck tee

(b) grey leigh jeans, (t) navy tee
(b) grey leigh jeans, (t) black tee
(b) grey leigh jeans, (t) white tee
(b) grey leigh jeans, (t) navy blouse

If it helps, I'm tall with biggish boobs. And roughly a UK 12, but can be between a 10-14 depending on where I shop.

There s a lovely nude pink kindof colour - oasis had a blazer in that colour - that would be nice - kindof a neutral ish colour. Maybe too bland! Can't link oasis one at the mo sorry.
