For this series of posts, I have been sharing with you potential contenders for my blazer. Yesterday, I showed you a high-fashion blazer by Ann Demeulemeester. Today, and for the next two posts, I will highlight for you jackets from the more youthful brand of the house of Dolce & Gabbana, D&G.
Contender # 02 - D&G's Cotton Blazer
Although from the front it looks like any other blazer, it stands apart in several ways. First, it is 100% cotton. It is light enough to be able to use during summer months. Second, it has unique proportions and stylings. The blazer has a short fit, unlike most jackets of its kind. The sleeves are longer than the bottom of the sports coat itself. Third, it is surprisingly multipurpose. The sleeves actually have zippers.
The sleeves can be removed to convert the sports coat into a waistcoat (vest)! It is a 2-for-1 deal!
However, this blazer failed to meet two very important criteria! First, this item is not available in D&G boutiques. The Dolce & Gabbana corporation is set up in such a way that the items available on the website are exclusively available on the site and not in the stores. With that, again, it is difficult to see how well this blazer will fit me and if it is worth the $800 ticket. Second, and more important, it is NOT in black!
Oh well... It has appeal, but not enough to win me over...
