I was in the market for an easy-to-wear jacket—a versatile piece, specifically a black and white blazer. This slim, single-button style (model Y75) seemed like the perfect choice for spring and autumn.

This review documents how the material and fit have held up over time, providing a detailed assessment of whether this affordable casual blazer is truly worth your money.

• It’s lightweight and easy to pack.
• It transitions seamlessly from office casual to weekend wear.
• It’s simple to clean and maintain, provided you follow the care instructions.

After wearing this black and white blazer for three months, here is my detailed breakdown of whether this slim jacket truly stands the test of time.

Day 1: First Impressions

The package arrived promptly. The jacket was folded flat without any fancy packaging, which is perfectly acceptable for its price point.

The fabric felt thin, clearly suited for mild weather rather than freezing winter days. I immediately noticed the material is entirely synthetic, which means it wrinkles easily but also dries very quickly after washing.

I tried it on right away. Although I typically wear a size M/L, I followed the sizing guide and opted for an XL to be safe. Even with sizing up, the fit was snug.

I recalled some buyer feedback mentioning the jacket felt "cramped," especially across the back and shoulders when buttoned.

Inspecting the construction, the shoulder pads are minimal, contributing to a more casual feel. The single button was securely sewn on.

Action Step: Check the size chart meticulously. Don’t rely on your usual size—take your measurements. If you plan to wear thick layers like a sweater underneath, size up by two sizes. For a comfortable, relaxed fit, size up at least once.

Week 1: Getting Used to It

I wore the blazer four times during the first week, pairing it with thin blouses and fitted T-shirts. Keeping the under-layer thin completely eliminated the "cramped" feeling.

I tested its durability during a full day of desk work. It wrinkles easily, particularly at the elbows and across the lap when sitting. I found myself using a steamer almost every morning to freshen it up. Ironing is too risky due to the synthetic blend.

I also tested its style versatility, which is where this jacket excels. I wore it with dress pants for a meeting and with ripped jeans for dinner—it works well in both casual and smart-casual settings.

This blazer pairs beautifully with trousers and elevates any outfit, especially when combined with pieces from the long-sleeve dresses category.

The cuffs are easy to roll up, giving it a more relaxed, casual look. I kept the sleeves pushed up most of the time.

Verdict: You must steam this jacket, not iron it, each time you wear it to keep it looking sharp. Stick to thin under-layers for comfortable movement and to reduce stress on the seams.

Month 1: Daily Use

By the end of the first month, the jacket had become my go-to light layer for regular use.

Washing and Care

I washed the jacket for the first time after about four weeks of wear, following the care tag instructions precisely:

• Cold water only.
• Gentle cycle in the washing machine.
• Immediate hang drying.

The jacket dried completely overnight—an excellent feature that means you can wash it in the evening and wear it the next morning.

Wear and Tear Discoveries

The structure softened significantly after the first wash, making it feel more like a thick cardigan than a stiff blazer. If you prefer a very tailored, structured jacket, this might be a letdown.

I noticed the first signs of fabric stress: slight pilling under the arms. This is typical for lower-cost synthetic fabrics in high-friction areas. A small fabric shaver easily took care of it.

I also discovered the best way to wear it: open. When worn open, it drapes nicely, and you don’t feel the tightness across the chest or back. The single button became more decorative than functional.

Verdict: Wash this jacket gently and air dry it. Expect minor pilling in high-friction areas—a fabric shaver will keep it looking new. It works best styled open.

Month 3: Long-Term Verdict

After 90 days of regular wear, I have a clear final verdict. This blazer has proven its worth as an affordable, stylish, casual jacket.

The color quality is excellent; the black and white hues haven’t faded or bled, even after repeated washing. The seams are still holding strong, and the lining shows no signs of ripping or fraying.

The biggest concerns remain the fit and the maintenance required.

Long-Term Comparison

Here’s how the jacket compares from Day 1 to Day 90:

The single button remains perfectly secure. The jacket is surprisingly tough, withstanding daily wear better than expected for its material type.

Verdict: This jacket is a solid workhorse for style versatility. It requires high maintenance (daily steaming), and the fit doesn’t accommodate thick layers. It’s ideal for temperatures between 60°F and 75°F.

Would I Buy Again?

Yes, I would buy this jacket again, but only with a clear understanding of its limitations.

If you need a very structured, high-quality professional suit jacket, this isn’t it. This is a casual layering piece designed to look modern and slim.

If you’re looking for a fashionable, affordable, and functional piece for spring and fall, this is an excellent choice.

My final actionable advice is straightforward. Follow these steps when deciding to purchase:

1. Check Buyer Photos: See how the jacket fits people with body types similar to yours. Pay close attention to how it pulls when buttoned.
2. Check Material: Understand that this synthetic fabric wrinkles easily. Be prepared to steam it frequently.
3. Check Size: Always size up. Measure your bust and shoulders, and choose a size that gives you 1-2 extra inches of comfort, especially if you intend to button it.
4. Buy it: If you accept the need for steaming and the slim fit, this jacket offers great value.
