Whenever I’m stumped on what to wear, the combo of a good pair of jeans and a blazer never fails. With a cashmere sweater and slim shaft ankle booties for winter, or a simple tank with sandals for warm weather (as shown here). That last outfit is from 2 years ago, and I’d happily repeat the exact same look!
I was grabbing another pair of my must-have fleeced leggings (also in womens) when I noticed this blazer and decided to give it a try. It turned out to be an unexpected win (Uniqlo blazers are hit or miss for me), with an effortlessly relaxed feel in a versatile shade of light khaki.
This jacket has that oversized boyfriend fit that I’m looking for, and since it is regular sizing, the sleeves are a little long on me. The fabric is a light/medium weight with a smooth finish and a partial half-lining. A little detail on this jacket that I love is how the buttons are small and subtle. It also has coordinating pants which I enjoy wearing on their own, but probably not as a matching suit.
Other relaxed blazers with petite sizing:
The most petite-friendly, universally flattering Levi’s in my humble opinion. These jeans were a runaway favorite when I reviewed them last year, and this exact “space to think” wash has finally been restocked in the shorter 26″ inseam!
Each wash will differ a bit in fabric feel and fit, and this is my current favorite with a true medium blue color and a hint of stretch. The stretch in this feels comfier than typical Levi’s, and as an added bonus, this particular wash does not stretch out around the knees for me like some jeans do.
To add a little interest, I’d style this with a pop of color:
Or, experimenting here with the neck scarf again!
