Help me find a blazer

I work with country houses and estates. I’m a professional but have the freedom to dress as I like. My style is slightly arty country chic - Barbour mixed with dresses and skirts, cropped jeans and cashmere. I need a classy feminine blazer that’s not too sharp. Budget up to £200, happy to consider preloved for designer. Preferably blue or navy, but neutrals are an option.

Oversized of fitted?

Cwtshcwtsh · 06/02/2024 22:06

Fitted, I think, but I’ve never tried oversized so interested to see suggestions.

Should have said I’m 5’4”, size 8-10, hourglass figure.

Depending on your demographic F&F or Holland Cooper?

Sorry just seen your budget, pre-loved?

Over budget but this?

I love the tweeds but I have a few tweed jackets in various colours, so need a plain blazer.

I'm not usually a fan of logos but I quite like this one:

Or more understated from Reiss:

There are lots of traditional colours (incl black and navy) but also currently bottle green (looks ace) and this light grey 🩶.

@Peasnbeans Whistles is spot on, and I can buy two! I have a store within range so I’ll go and try some on.

@AvoSourdough that Ralph Lauren blazer is divine, so beautifully cut. And just in budget. My fingers are hovering over the ‘buy’ button…

@Mirabai that St Ettienne is nice. Understated and easy to wear.

Decisions decisions, now.

@Peasnbeans I’ve bought the Whistles in black. Will get another in a different colour when I’ve bought a couple of dresses and know what I have to mix it with. Thanks!

Hope it works out.
