Finding the perfect white fitted blazer can be tough. It needs to look good, fit well, and last. I've been on a journey to find the best one. I started with the cheapest options and worked my way up. Here's what I learned.
My first purchase was a super cheap white fitted blazer online. It cost around $20. It seemed like a great deal at the time. But I quickly realized why it was so cheap.
The fabric was thin and scratchy. The stitching was poor. The blazer lost its shape after only a few wears. It lasted maybe a few weeks before it started to look worn out. The color faded after one wash.
I quickly learned that super cheap often means low quality. The price was tempting, but the blazer wasn't worth it. I had to buy another one soon after. I should have spent more for better quality.
I checked some reviews online after my purchase. Many other people had the same issues. They complained about the poor quality and the short lifespan of the blazer. Check reviews before you buy!
Verdict: Avoid super cheap blazers. They are not worth the money.
I upgraded to something mid-range. This white fitted blazer cost around $50. It was better than the super cheap one, but still not great. I thought paying more would guarantee better quality, but I was wrong.
The fabric was a bit thicker. The stitching was better, but still not perfect. The fit was okay, but not as flattering as I hoped. It was... okay. It lasted longer than the cheap blazer, but it still had issues.
The blazer wrinkled easily. It required a lot of ironing. The color was slightly off-white, which didn't match my other clothes. It was a step up, but still disappointing. Research is key to finding good quality at a fair price.
