This blazer? Y or N

I've seen this blazer a few times and hesitated, but it's coming into a light winter for me so time to look at jackets again.
Y or N

I wouldn’t spend 500 dollars on something so crudely emblazoned. But if that, it's nice.

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 18/04/2023 22:44

I love the cut/shape but I tend to steer clear of things that have logos obviously visible on them and I also don't really like the hardware (too shiny) but that's totally personal preference. If you like it and it fits well on your shape then get it!

I agree with PP. The cut is nice but the advertising logo on the front is very off-putting/

mdinbc · 18/04/2023 23:19

Agree with others, nice cut, but logo too large.

My fave YouTuber says keep detail on blazers minimal for maximum versatility 👍

No it looks like a hotel concierge

Nice for an elderly German woman.

You'll be dressed like cabin crew.

chopc · 19/04/2023 04:52

Out if interest, how do people where blazers in coat wearing weather? Presume it won't fit under the coat and if it does it will be uncomfortable ?

Happyhappyeveryday · 19/04/2023 06:06

The shape is lovely l, but the logo is tacky.

RobertaTheRotund · 19/04/2023 06:11

Sorry, I also think the logo looks crap on that.

The jacket is nice though! Do they do a similar one without the logo?

pilates · 19/04/2023 06:41

The shape and cut are very nice but the large logo is off-putting

RemusLupinsBiggestGroupie · 19/04/2023 07:19

I’ve seen this or a version of it in real life in House of Fraser. The jacket is nice enough but the logo is horrible.

I was pretty sure I wasn't keen on the logo, but there was something about it I liked...but obviously not !

Any good inspiration?

Personal choice OP. I really like it, logo included.

This made me smile, because MIL wears things like this. She’s an elderly Dutch woman. She is always immaculately turned out though and far more groomed than I could ever be bothered with aspire to, so I don’t think it’s a terrible look. Cutting edge, however, it is not.

LifeInAHamsterWheel · 19/04/2023 09:17

OP I love that Reiss one you've linked to.

Loocheeyar · 19/04/2023 09:46

There is a whistles one that is better

I wear it as a jacket, so don’t put anything on top.

These RL jackets have been about for donkeys' years. It's a no from me.
