Looking for, what I think is, a boyfriend blazer - can you help?

OK, I've never been on S&B before (if I had piccies on my profile you'd understand!)

I'm looking for a blazer, lapels that aren't too thin, nothing too "fussy", that I can wear with skinny jeans. Going out on Saturday to a sort of "work" thing - need to look casual, elegant but without looking like I'm trying too hard.

Plan is to wear a black and pink sleveless top (it's like a turtle-neck thing, with a zip up the back) and either black skinnies with a pink blazer, or pink skinnies and a black blazer. I'd really like the sleeves to be "turn up-able".

I've looked all over the place and just can't find what I want - any suggestions?

I got one from New Look; think it was this one, lots on website. It has sleeves you can wear rolled up or down and looks a lot more expensive than it is.

Ooh, I really like that!

What is your lining like? Is it plain cream or is it patterned? (e.g. faint stripe etc)

Think it's just plain..?

Got a navy one recently in GAP. It's really lovely. Have a look on their website as some are reduced at the mo.

gap?

Thanks for the advice!

Had a good look around - New Look, Gap etc, couldn't find anything my size and then found this:

which is completely not what I was looking for Grin

Got it home and it is the most perfect colour match - now all I have to do is find some pretty shoes to go with it

You could try H&M too, they have them.
