I’ve gotten a little behind of my Anthro reviews, so I am going to do a combined post here with the jackets I have tried on recently. Help me decide if any of them are for me
Shapes Study jacket $98.00
I really should have tried this one on with a dress because it clearly doesn’t work with what I went shopping in lol. I tried on the XS which fit well, although the cut is a little roomy in the chest. The jacket is quite cropped with a nipped in waist and full shoulders. This one wasn’t my style but if you are in love with big Balmain shoulders but can’t wear that look irl, you may like this jacket as a softer alternative. It does look very cute on the model styled with a extra large flower brooch.

Immutable jacket $88.00
I just read Anthro’s description of this jacket where they say it looks great with jeans and tall boots. I have to agree with them, I love this look. The Immutable jacket is an easy throw on that brings an outfit up a notch. I tried on the XS and really like the fit. It hits high on the hip with a slim waist fit. The shoulder are gathered a bit but it doesn’t make you look like a linebacker. The material is a soft and casual blend with no shine.

Ponte Beau blazer $98.00
I’ve always liked this blazer but put off trying it on because I assumed the Boyfriend cut would look awful on me. I was surprised by how much I liked it. Especially with skinny jeans and boots. This blazer is also a soft and casual blended fabric. It is not crisp or masculine at all, maybe that is why I like it more than other blazers of this cut. You can see it has a relaxed over sized shape hitting below the hip. The sleeves are 3/4 which keeps the jacket from looking like it truly was your boyfriends. I wasn’t crazy about it the jacket buttoned since the buttons are so low on this piece. I prefer the blazer open embracing the slouchy oversized look.


What do you think of these Anthro jackets. Do I need to add any of them to my closet?



Holy smokes! The second one looks so good on you that I thought it was an Anthro model pic. For real!
I like #2 the best, but #3 open is really cute and has the whole boyfriend/collegiate thing going for it. Not sure any are "must haves" though.
I'm sorry, but I don't like #3 at all! It reminds me of Murphy Brown. I see blazers like this at thrift stores all the time, $98 for this one seems crazy. :/
#2 is cute, but jackets with no closures bother me. I need something more functional.
pretty unrelated, but where is your striped shirt/tneck from? it's so cute!
You definitely need to add the Immutable jacket to your collection. It looks outstanding on you and the softness makes it seem like it would be extremely functional, almost like a sweater that you would leave on indoors.
I love the boyfriend jacket. It hangs very nicely, too. Better than most of its genre. Love the striped top underneath it, too.
Oh love the Immutable jacket on you. Very cute. You must have it! And you keep taunting me with your awesome Target shirt! I looked for it this past weekend and I could not find it. But it's so gorgeous on you. Love!
Yeah, #2 gets my vote too. Although you'd have to get the sleeves shortened. Shorter sleeves are what the other two jackets have going for it. Us petites have to watch out for loooong sleeves, they drive me crazy!
Postfab- Ahh thanks
Lulu- I am struggling with the price..
Tasty- Lol at Murphy Brown! It doesn't give me that vibe irl because the fabric is so different than your regular blazer. But I did have boyfriend blazer in the late 90s when I was 13. I am definitely not wanting to revisit that look. I just realized, that was 20 years ago. Sweet jesus..I'm old
DS- It is from Target. I bought it a couple weeks ago
Thanks for your thoughts ladies! I am leaning towards #2 as well, I'm just not sure if it is worth $88 or if I should hope for a sale. Seems like my size is never in when things get marked down.
That Immutable jacket is really flattering on you, like jaw dropping, and it's $88 so I think it would be a great staple to your wardrobe for sure..
Agreed with above — I love the Immutable Jacket on you!
I had never looked twice at the Immutable Jacket til today! I really love it on you and I am considering the white for myself
I agree with almost everyone else- I love the Immutable jacket on you, Shannon!
