Ever since I got my first professional job after graduating I have been wearing nothing but t-shirts and jeans. Lately, I have been feeling uncomfortable amongst my colleagues and wanting to upgrade my wardrobe.
I figured I should try a bunch of RTW blazers but after approximately 20 blazers nothing could really fit my arms and shoulders. I did however get a Uniqlo comfort blazer in size XL (size L did not fit my shoulders), which I would like to use as a blazer for gaining experience and figuring out what style I like before I invest in more expensive stuff. My intention is to wear the blazer casually hence the roomier fit.
The blazer is undeniably relaxed and is the most comfortable blazer I have ever worn. I like the fuller cut since I also tend to wear fuller trousers. The sleeves have been folded inwardly in the figures and do actually need to be shortened. There are a lot of wrinkles on the blazer because it has yet to be ironed, especially on the back, waist and upper sleeves (it is a cheap blazer for 75 euro hence the cheap material). There is no pulling on the back even if it might look like it around the waist. I have tried the blazer countless of times and the draping around the back and sleeves do look better than what is illustrated above.
Do you think it would look better if I shortened the sleeves and get the waist tailored a bit, or should I resell it? Is it too big in the back or is the draping acceptable?
