Jersey blazers again

I tried the tweed-y Next one and didn't like it at all.

Where else can I look? Either navy or grey. I am a 12 btw.

New Look have a cotton jersey one for £19.99 that looks nice. I did try it but it wasn't a great fit on me but I'm only 5ft.

Hush also do one but its about £55.

Topshop have a grey ponte blazer.

I've just been looking at this one:

www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/uk/en/zara-neu-S2013/358002/1091053/BLAZER%20WITH%20ELBOW%20PATCHES

But haven't seen in the flesh, so not sure.

I like the look of the Hush one but it's got mixed reviews.

I tried the Zara one yesterday, it's nice.

Mumelie · 12/02/2013 14:52

Had a Hush one last year and found it a bit boxy (not sure if style has changed). Waiting for the Next one to arrive. Have an old New Look one and it fits well, is just a bit too long.

SilverSixpence · 12/02/2013 15:23

Saw the hush one in the sample sale and thought it was too short.

DanGleebals · 12/02/2013 16:03

I love the Zara one too. How long is it annianni? I am very short and just wonder if it might be too long for me. Ive also got my eye on this one but wondered if it was a bit boring?

cathyandclaire · 12/02/2013 16:26

Anni is the Zara one with elbow patches jersey? I also tried the Next one and it was horrid on me, am now joining the obsessive search for a different one Grin

orangina · 12/02/2013 16:32

I saw the zara one yesterday and wasn't keen on the tartan lining.... didn't try it on though....

stclemens · 12/02/2013 16:39

I have this one here but in navy with black piping when they had a 30% offer - not sure why it is not on the website. It is quite a boxy short cut which I like (size down), the shrunken blazer is a similar cut, not jersey though some cotton polyester mix. I also have one from Uniqlo which is longer and slimmer cut which I think they do in grey, black and navy.

Snowkey · 12/02/2013 16:48

The uniqlo one is great, £40, in black, white, navy and red, unfortunately I want grey! Zara one wasn't comfy enough and is going back. I wanted a tight - knitted look, not sweatshirt material.

Annianni · 12/02/2013 17:39

I'm 5ft 7, and it was hip length on me and yes, it was jersey.

I tried 2 similar ones, one with tartan and one without (i think)

cathyandclaire · 12/02/2013 17:41

Thanks! Think I may be putting in an order for the Zara grey one :)

Not sure about the elbow patches on the Zara one!

Oasis do a nice grey one Here

TheBeanAndTheBee · 12/02/2013 21:49

I bought the Zara one in a slightly different colour way and I LOVE it! Super comfortable jersey. I really like the elbow patch details. I'm 5ft4 dangleebals and its the perfect length for me, not too long, not too short.

JumpHerWho · 12/02/2013 21:53

I have the Hush one, it is boxy and not smart, it's jersey fabric lined with fleeciness though and is lovely to throw on instead of a cardi or light jacket with jeans and flats. Not an eveningy blazer. It's not cropped, but not tailored in at the waist despite the single button. I love mine.

DanGleebals · 13/02/2013 19:10

I've just seen this one on the warehouse website. Has anyone seen it in real life. I like it but can't decide if it's a bit too twee or if my judgement has been clouded by the 25% off voucher!

I am still looking!

What do you think of this Mango one?

I also got the GAP navy academy blazer - don't machine wash it (as per label), bobbles very badly! I took mine back.

snoworneahva · 28/02/2013 07:14

Have just order the Mango one and this one from Whistles using the 25% off code.

AlisonMoyet · 28/02/2013 08:40

I tried the Zara one. Liked. But quite $$$
I am a 12-14. I needed the XL

AlisonMoyet · 28/02/2013 08:41

Oh my Zara one was dark grey. Not that linked one.

noddyholder · 28/02/2013 09:20

Don't they go sloppy looking after afew wears? Uniqlo one definitely does
