After posting about the J. Crew Factory sweater blazer last week, I ordered the updated version to see how it compares to the original. I own this blazer in pretty much every color it has come out in, but olive is a color I don’t have – so it was an easy choice for the updated fit. So, how does it compare? The newer version named the “Schoolboy Sweater Blazer” fits just like the Schoolboy Blazer. Another blazer I have in a few colors and love. It’s shorter in length than the original and a little more relaxed in the waist. It’s still true to size, but a little long and slim in the arms just like the original. I cuff the sleeves on both versions.

Olive Sweater Blazer Four Ways
Sizing reference: I’m 4’10” and around 105lbs. I share my sizing beside each item to help you pick the right size for you online. I don’t alter or hem the clothing in any way.
With White Jeans
Olive is a great compliment to white jeans. I know it’s still pretty hot in most places, but this will look great into early fall.

With Black Pants
Wearing a sweater blazer to work is an obvious choice. I paired it here with a pair of Ruby pants from J.Crew Factory (size up one) and a cheetah print sweater that was a favorite for me last year! You can see that top styled multiple ways in this post. I sized up in the sweater, but you really don’t need to. The Rothy’s are a new color choice for me and I sized up 1/2 size in them. However, my true size is a better fit overall for me in the Rothy’s so I recommend sticking with that.

With Jeans
When it comes to wearing a sweater blazer with jeans, I like that the newer version is shorter than the original. It makes the blazer look a little more casual to me. I paired it here with one of my favorite fits of jeans, the perfect vintage from Madewell. My exact pair isn’t available anymore but I’m linking another wash – in my experience all Madewell jeans run true to size. The loafers are amazingly soft and comfortable from the very first wear. These have been popular for some time and I finally bought a pair, I wish I had sooner!

With Trousers
I tend to gravitate toward slim and skinny pants for work, but these trousers are a great petite fit (with heels)! They’re soft and thick and don’t wrinkle easily. I’m wearing them in my true size Petite 00.
