Jersey Blazer

[MrsElm]

I think I need a jersey blazer to give me a smarter look than a cardi for summer work wear. Has anyone seen or bought good ones recently? I would like navy, size 16/18, not too long in body.

Would be grateful for any recommendations.

Whistles do lovely jersey blazers.

Ah I've been on the hunt for this too, I've bought a couple over the years and they are machine washable too usually.

I'm about to buy the cream one from Whistles. I have two in different colours already, they do them every year.

M&S have a good one that’s half the price of the Whistles ones. I also had a fab linen blazer from M&S a few years ago. Have also seen them in H&M.

@canyon2000 thank you, that looks lovely, but it's not in stock in my size in the navy 😢

@DazzlePaintedBattlePants that looks good too, and great price, but only black unfortunately 😕

I second the Whistles ones - they do them every year in different colours. They're just as comfy as a cardi but much smarter.

@MrsElm with Whistles click on the check in store as they do have them in their shops if you live near one

M&S also do this jersey blazer in navy www.marksandspencer.com/jersey-slim-single-breasted-blazer-jacket/p/clp60526301?color=NAVY&prevPage=srp

@SlobDylan thanks for that, looks good too.

I have just ordered one from John Lewis, looks similar

Will let you all know if it's any good!

I bought this one at the weekend , it's really comfortable. Not washed it yet tho, hopefully it will fair well

@MrsElm I tried that JL one today and thought it was very nice. More relaxed than the Whistles ones but not oversized.

I've got 2 of the Whistles ones, always worth a look on eBay too...

I've ordered the JL in 2 sizes, so hope one will be OK!

I bought the navy M&S one and changed all the buttons to gold to make it a tad smarter.. love it.

Just coming on to update about the JL navy blazer. Unfortunately both sizes I ordered are going back. I just thought they looked too square .

Have ordered the M&S to see if any better.

Try Next and JL for the Whistles one in your size, they both stock them

Just reporting back that the M&S one is much better! A bit of a snazzier lining, better shape and styling, nice texture to the fabric. This one is a keeper! Can recommend ☺️
