Finding the right blazer cropped can be tough. I spent so much time and money trying to find a stylish and good-quality one. I went through cheap versions, mid-range options, and finally discovered what premium quality really means. Here's my journey, so you can avoid my mistakes.
My first experience with blazer cropped was all about finding the lowest price. I thought I could get away with a super cheap blazer from an unknown online store. It cost me about $20. Big mistake!
My first purchase was super cheap. It lasted maybe a few weeks before falling apart. The material was thin and scratchy. The stitching was uneven, and the buttons were loose. It looked nothing like the photos online. I should have checked the reviews better!
Here are the problems I faced:
I even saw a review similar to my experience: "The blazer was paper thin and ripped after wearing it only once. Don't waste your money!"
Verdict: Avoid super cheap blazers cropped! They are not worth the money. You'll end up spending more in the long run replacing them.
After the cheap blazer disaster, I decided to upgrade to something mid-range. I spent about $50 on a blazer cropped from a more well-known online retailer. It was... okay.
The quality was slightly better than the cheap blazer. The fabric felt a bit thicker, and the stitching seemed more secure. But it still wasn't great. The fit was still not perfect, and the style was kind of generic. It was okay for work, but I didn't feel excited to wear it.
