Tweedy blazer?

12 replies

I’m losing weight and would really really like to wear tan knee high boots, dark skinny jeans, white shirt/top and a tweedy blazer/maybe cardigan with elbow patches would be amazing. Any ideas? It might not be en vogue but it would make me so happy looking in the mirror. Help! Please lol

That’s very cute, I like it! It’s a bit boxier than I was thinking of but I like it. I could have that one plus another shape, as long as it doesn’t bring the eye to my waist line too much? Self conscious of my midlife change of shape.

Also a more budget option is rydale. I have a lovely cropped tweed jacket from there and always get nice comments about it when I wear it but I'm not sure if they have them currently. Could check Vinted/marketplace

I have a proper Harris Tweed blazer and it's great - really warm. It's not cheap though, so it depends on your budget. Mine was about £250 two years ago and I bought it from: https://harristweedisleofharris.co.uk/store/Ladies-Jackets-c4639898 (although in their actual shop).

Oh a proper one! Why didn’t I think of that hahaha thanks @PenCreed

There are 4 or 5 lovely tweedy blazer options in Mango at the moment. I've got my eye on two.

@Crispynoodle I just remembered Vinted (still quite new to using it), there are plenty on there which is great, thanks for recommending.
