Will this blazer do for work? Are there any better options at the price point?

Looks a bit boxy but maybe that's a bulky bloke they've got it on... I would obv have it taken in... have heard both good and bad re: the quality of Marks and Spencer's gear.

For the price, it doesn't look all that bad. I think it's a little boxy, but nothing that would turn me away from buying it (unless you're skinny as a toothpick).

I am quite skinny (usually take a 38 regular) but I suppose I could have it given a bit of waist suppression by the tailors (also looks like the sleeves will have to be shortened). Looks in the photo to have patch pockets... can't tell the colour of the buttons.

I have the double breasted version of this blazer. It's ridiculously good value for money. It was a bit boxy on me, but I got it tailored and now it's quite nice. It's definitely worth the £89.
