Blazer Sizing
French girls tend to wear their blazers slightly oversized, but I would be careful with this trend. A friend and I were discussing it and she pointed out that right now the ‘oversized’ look is in style, but who knows if that will be the case in a few years? Keep this in mind and perhaps order two sizes of one blazer if you cannot try it on in-store and see which one you feel better in.
It’s funny because the majority of French retailers will show blazers as fitting quite loosely while American retailers will almost always show women wearing blazers that are tightly fitted.
You have to consider blazer sizing before buying, too. When I tried on the Isabel Marant blazers in-store, I noticed that they were already oversized by default. So you essentially take your true size and still get the roomy feel. With American brands, this is definitely not the case!
I love online shopping but unless I’m certain of my size in a designer, I almost always prefer to try pieces on in-store!
