Old Navy - 3-button twill blazer

First - I added a pic of the Old Navy tan/white striped sweater coat to this post. It's really cute. I also added a couple pics of the Boden version.

Old Navy's 3-button twill blazer retails for $29.50 , is 100% cotton and comes in black, dark blue, khaki, green and white. And comes in regular, tall & petite!



The sleeve was really long on me in a small...


...but I liked the jacket better on the body than on the hanger.


I had passed this blazer several times on my last couple of trips thinking it would be see through, but it's not. I think I have to get this scarf. It comes in the brown print (shown) and a black/white print. And uh, no, I don't wear my scarves down to my knees.



I will be sharing a white blazer I tried on at AE and love. In comparison I like that one better. This is still decent, esp for a casual.

What would you wear this blazer with? Or not structured/stylish enough for you?
Chime in...

  1. Thanks for all the updates on Target and Old Navy. Now that I can look at your blog I don't have to do so many "drive bys." ha.

  2. I hope you bought the jacket! It looks great on you, and I like the look with the skirt and boots.

  3. I keep almost buying that same scarf at ON, in the brown & white. But today I went there and it was gone, so I guess that's a sign that I don't really need it (and will I really wear a scarf in the spring? Not sure...).
    Anyway, the jacket fits you well, but the white color makes it look like you work on a cruise ship.
    I'm really enjoying your frequent reviews. Thank you very much!

  4. Hey, this ON blazer does look nice, and it could be dressed up or down by tossing over a jeans & tee or dress w/necklace & heels. I would def. wear it since it has a nice shape and gives you that defined waist.

    Still, I would be *really* excited to know if you're going to review the AE Boyfriend blazer - in white! See, I've been totally debating on whether or not to get one or the other for weeks, and it sounds like you might've read my mind. Thank you! :D

    Both the ON and AE blazers seem like really good layering pieces for spring/summer weather, plus seem similar in fabric & shape. It be nice to know the differences btw the two. [Crosses fingers, hoping your next review is for the AE Boyfriend blazer in white.]

  5. Beth - You're welcome :-)

    krista.alana - Nah, I didn't buy the jacket. I like it w/the skirt & boots, also, but I wasn't 100% convinced.

    Anon@5:23 PM - Great minds...it *is* a great scarf. I am going to pass for now. If it's there later, maybe. I wear scarves quite a bit and know I have a ton. That's my hesitation. Cruise ship, huh? *lol* I've never been on one, but I'll take your word for it. I know what you mean, though. Service jacket. February 26, 2009 5:23 PM

    Diana Draw - Thanks for the feedback. I didn't feel like this is 100% on as far as what I want in a white blazer, but it's close. Good to see it thru other eyes. I am sure it's the boyfriend blazer I tried on at AE. It *has* to be as it was slightly slouchy. Love it. I'll do that one in the next day or two.

  8. FFM - Hey there...the AE blazer is coming up this afternoon.

  9. I tried on the khaki version and I liked it -- except it looked too wrinkly. I think that's a pitfall of 100% cotton :(

  10. MrsMakeover - It's great for a casual look. They have a more structured blazer that doesn't come with wrinkles. ;-)
