The Chelsea blazer is a fantastic wardrobe staple - with the beefy knit fabric it beautifully goes from adding polish to a jeans outfit to providing a professional air to a skirt at the office. It is the perfect amount of structure with the ease of stretch. And certainly the colors are amazing - it’s Kettlewell after all. I prefer my usual xl for the best fit buttoned of open but also wear the LL as it is somewhat forgiving with stretch for movement comfort. I believe I am a classic style and find Chelsea one of my most favorite pieces that I can count on to always look great. read more »

Absolutely love this one! Bought in the sale - much better price point. I’d ordered previously at full Price and sized down, on advice, but it was too small for my frame. I couldn’t justify full price. However when I ordered in sale and sized upI loved it so much I ordered two more!! Sadly the fit was so different . The violet doesn’t have shoulder pads and fits me better all over. It’s very comfortable and a beautiful colour . I don’t normally go for classic blazer since leaving the corporate world but this is very casual. I’ve given it 3 stars for value based on full price read more »

So very glad I finally bought the Chelsea blazer during the sale! I'm 5'2", 150 lbs, an inverted triangle body shape, and U.S. size 14 (UK 18) on top due to a large bust (38DD) and broad shoulders. On top of that I have a short torso, so blazer shopping is a challenge to put it lightly! The Chelsea is spectacular, though. Size LL is neither neat fitting nor oversized on me - its just right. It accommodates my shoulders and bust, and I can comfortably wear it buttoned or open. The top button sits perfectly under the bust, which prevents unsightly gaping when worn closed. The tailoring nicely skims over my body to show a shapely silhouette while hiding the lumps and bumps of middle age. I appreciate the soft tailoring in the back, too, so it doesn't look like a tent on me. The slightly flared hemline nicely balances my inverted triangle shape - it's not too much. As for the length, the bottom hits just past where my legs meet my torso, which looks fine. The arm length is slightly long for my petite scale but I generally push up the sleeves of my casual blazers anyway and the heavy knit really lends itself to that beautifully. The fabric makes this a comfy, yet smart addition to my wardrobe. 10 stars out of 5!! read more »

I loved the colour, the square shoulders, neat angular lapels and luxurious lining. I wasn't so keen on the fabric, the rounded front edges or the flare round the hem. But I would have accepted these if the jacket looked good on me. Sadly though the shoulders and sleeves were a really good fit, size S on my 5' 2" frame, the jacket was too long for my short torso, so the waist and hips of the jacket didn't correspond to mine. A petite version might well have worked. Reluctantly returned. read more »
