This is a very cute jacket! Very good quality for the price point, to my surprise and delight - most blazers at this price are unlined or made of thin fabric so they don't hold their shape or have fake pockets, but this one is all three. I'm just shy of 5'5, about 200lbs, hourglass shaped, and usually an L-XL/14 in tops and the size XL fit me well, so this is pretty true to size. The only thing is that the shoulders are a little snug, but I think the next size up would've been too big. (I'm also never going to be able to close this thing at the clasp, because it's around the hips, but I was never going to anyway.) As some other reviewers mentioned, the sleeves are pretty loose, but as I was looking to roll them up anyway for a more casual look this is actually a plus to me. There's a little bit of padding at the shoulders, but not in a crazy 80s way - it looks nice and gives the jacket more structure. All in all, I'm super happy with this blazer - it looks more expensive than it is and is very stylish! Just what I was looking for. I even came back and bought another one in another color. :) (The light pink - very pretty but it looks a little more beige-y in certain lights than I really wanted it to. I kept polling people on the color and got everything from pale pink to khaki. I'm still keeping it though!) Read more
Ok Urban Coco... you know whats up! Im 5"6 and way between 215 and 225, and most of my weight is on my midsection and boobs. I ordered a 2x and it fit more like a 1x. I needed more room on the shoulders and elbows, and the front did not cover my midsection and boobs. When I first got it I wasnt too happy because of what I just mentioned and also because it looks shorter from the front than the back. But it does fit well if this makes any sense, it does fit me and its comfortable. Also seeing the photos posted didnt really make me excited about the blazer and I thought the price too high but wanted to give a try. With that said, I freaken loooovvveee this blazer! Yes you read right, I love it. What I ended up doing is finding the right blouse for it. I found a loose blouse that goes well with leggings and paired it with this blazer and I look sooooo goood in it!!!! I dont like how wrinkly it is at first but you just have to iron it once and you are good for the whole day, it doesn't wrinkle back. This type of material that just falls on you body just right and makes your body look flattering if you pair it with a loose blouse. Im telling you if all those people who posted a photo wore this blazer with a loose longer blouse with legging they would look 10 times better. The collar of the blazer is narrow, loose, and not thick like a traditional blaser. So pairing this blazer with a tight blouse doesnt look good. This blazer goes welll with lose longer blouses because the collar is asking for it. My next colors to buy are the beige and light blue one. I bought the brown one and paired it with a snake pattern (black and white) loose blouse, black leggings, and brown flats. Amazing! Update: I bought the brown one a month ago. I am now a proud owner of the dark blue, light blue, tan, and white/cream. The white/cream is my favorite! Im pairing the white one with some black faux leather leggings and loose long white or black blouse. Also I will pair it with dark rose leggings. Im pairing the dark blue one with a black loose blouse and some black snake print leggings. Im pairing the light blue one with white loose blouse and dark tan leggings. Im pairing the tan one with cream loose blouse and dark charcoal blue leggings. Im havig so much fun ordering colored leggings for these blazers. Now, I just have to find the right long necklaces for the outfits to be complete. I have a whole new wordrobe, letting go of all my other ugly office clothes! Thank you Urban Coco for giving me a makeover!!! Read more
I've been looking for a blazer for some time. I'm 5'5 and a 34DD. Based off previous reviews I ended up ordering a size up to an XL which was a good decision. It definitely would've been too small if I went with my recommended size of a large. It did fit well but there were concerns. It was slightly tighter across my upper back and didn't allow for me to raise my arms much. It also wasn't as form fitting as I expected- was a little more loose around my waist then I would've liked. It also had a lot of extra material under the armpits when I lifted my arms out, but it still was tight in the upper arm areas. Overall very good product just needs to be better fit all around. I'll definitely have to go get it tailored for it to be a more custom fit to my body. Read more
First, let me tell you, this jacket is beautiful! I ordered the navy. Beautifully made, nice fabric, lined. Some don't like the hook/eye closure. I usually don't button up my blazers, but this is a nice, smooth closure without drawing attention to buttons, etc. My issue is it's too tight in arms and across the back/chest. I'm 5'10", right at 200-205 lbs. I typically wear a large/extra large in tops/jackets. Kind of broader across the bust/shoulder. I ordered the XL and it's just too tight in the arms. If it had ANY stretch, I'd be ok, but it doesn't have any stretch. Darn it! Really is a nice blazer, but will be going back. Read more
This blazer is great quality! PROS 1. The material is soft but hold it's shape. 2. Functional - it has two usuable front pockets that can hold small valuables like keys, a small wallet, a pair of glasses etc. 3. Good Length - I'm 5'8 and it hits me right at my hips 4. Very Versatile - it can be dressed up for work or worn casually with some jeans 5. It has a Slender Collar and lapels which gives it a sleek look CONS 1. Wrinkles - It does require ironing to rid of creases 2. The sleeves are full length but I am tall (5'8) with long arms so it sits about an inch above my wrist 3. It doesn't have a button to latch the front just a hook Overall it's a sleek, stylish blazer and I would highly recommend👍🏽 Read more
