Mixed Media Jacket

This jacket is not at all tailored as it appears on the model online. It billowed under my arms and tented out at the waist. The texture was interesting, as was the neutral color. Not for me.

I needed a light colored blazer for work and other social engagements. First, the color is a dull khaki, not a pretty champagne as shown in the photo. The material is stretchy, and does not have a crisp structured appearance. The detail that makes this blazer look so inexpensive is the plastic button in the front, very poor quality.

I bought this knit jacket for a recent work trip and it is so comfortable! It obviously is a little more casual than a traditional blazer but it is light enough weight I could wear this in the summer to work to stay warm in AC but not melt outdoors. I went to buy this in another color and realized the navy version I bought initially had been on sale. The regular price seems a little steep but I may still come back and buy the latte color even if it doesn't go on sale.

I purchased this jacket in navy, and I am happy with the fit and fabric. However, the sleeves are about 2 inches too long. I will have them altered. Ordered an xl.
