Of all the D&G blazers that are/were in contention, this third blazer has the most potential. For one, it has a fashion-forward look. The blazer has enough waist suppression that it gives the wearer and obvious shape, instead of a traditional boxy look. Another point is that it contains one button, where traditionally blazers are either had two or three buttons. Also, it has a short fit, where the bottom of the blazer rests just slightly below the waist and not covering the pants pocket. As stylish as this sports coat is, this piece gets the most points because it is actually in black. This is a very difficult find especially in the Spring/Summer collections.
However, there are also cons to this blazer. For one, as already mentioned, this is a blazer that can only be purchased online and makes it difficult to fit before purchasing. The second downside is material. It is made of 91% wool and 1% silk, luxurious fabrics. However, the remaining 8% are synthetics (6% polyester, 2% elastane). It makes me think, "Is fabric composition worthy of the $835 ticket price?" The last con is how practical will this blazer be. My friend Camille noted that with texture and sheen and construction, it looks very formal that it might be difficult to dress down the piece.
Those are a lot of things to think about, but there are still other candidates in the wing... Stay tuned!
