Staple Slim Fit One-Button Blazer

This is likely the best looking jacket of the year. It was gorgeous on and slimming too. However it is made for people who have zero bicep muscles. Very narrow sleeves at that point in the arm. I am muscular but not crazy muscular. If I stood perfectly still the jacket would fit (but feel tight on biceps). However there is zero stretch in the fabric so I could only move my arms a few inches. I wanted so bad for this to fit but it’s definitely not for athletic women. For reference I normally wear an 8 in a jacket, sometimes a 10. I bought a 10. If I sized up again to a 12 I would need serious alterations and I don’t think the arms would still be large enough.

I tend to wear a lot of black and white basics, no prints and heavy on neutrals. This print is definitely out of my comfort zone but subtle enough that I don’t feel that it is “loud”. It’s so chic, and I got a lot of compliments on it. I think it’s a bit snug, but it is designed to be fitted so maybe that is how it is intended to fit. I’m just used to my oversized blazers! 100% recommend this!

I bought this in a size 2 after seeing ppl say it runs large but ended up returning it for my normal size zero and it was perfect except for sleeve length which I expected being petite. I decided to roll the sleeves but would need them shortened if not. Also, brought it on a work trip all squished in my suitcase and it didn’t even need to be steamed.
