It was too big for me, but it was so nice and felt great.

I would have worn this one out in the Autumn or Winter with more layers, but ideally I still would need a smaller size. Super comfy though.

Nice work jacket

The reviews are correct- it’s baggy! I wear a medium usually, sized to a small. I didn’t mind the bagginess but probably would have preferred an xs. Still a great work layer!

Lightweight, fall look

It's a lightweight fall jacket. It's not a tailored look, but still looks smart and is forgiving of those of us with larger upper arms. It's a professional look in a larger size. I liked it!

Cute 90s blazer

The name of this jacket is exactly right. If you want to feel like a cool girl who borrowed her boyfriend's blazer in the 90s, rent this.

Definitely oversized

This was super comfy and the fabric was really soft and felt well made. But, I struggled with styling it because it was so baggy. It worked better with jeans than slacks for work. It was big all over, so maybe just sizing down would help.

I sized up thinking I would need room in the shoulders, but this top is for sure more loose than I thought. Cute fall colors. Nice material.

Loose Fit

Don't expect a structured blazer. This is a bit oversized and hangs off of the shoulders. I recommend sizing down. The end of the sleeves don't have a button so they hang loosely. I have one of those quick stitch guns so i stitched them then rolled them for a more polished/casual look. Very warm though! Good quality.

Very comfortable

I actually really liked this, but I don't have items in my closet to wear this with. It is really comfortable and soft, wasn't sure if it would be itchy. I wish I could make this work but at this point it doesn't fit the current weather.

The color is kind of dreary and although it has somewhat of an oversized feel for the torso the sleeves seem short so maybe size up

Recommend sizing down

This is a boxy fit with really wide shoulders so it was not flattering. The shoulder seams fell a few inches lower than they should, and I often find I need to size up because I’m rather broad- shouldered.

Sleeves too wide and long

I'm short so I expected having to roll the sleeves a bit but it wasn't possible. The sleeves are wide and have a split in the fabric like normal blazers but there aren't any buttons so it just stays wide open. It would be cute if the sleeves were normal or maybe for someone taller.
