OP, I also really like Veronica Beard blazers - the double breasted style creates a nice waist on me. I stalk their clothes on The Real Real and generally pay about 50% of the retail price. I've also recently gotten some crazy deals on off-season pieces from Saks - like 70-80% off a VB coat and blouse.
Wow, this is great advice. I always assumed they were out of my price range. Never occurred to me to try the Real Real. Thank you!

How can I identify a good blazer if it's not from a high-end brand? If you were to save up to buy one blazer which one would you buy (to go with mostly black pants and skirts)?

I actually find the material on a lot of Veronica beard blazers to look cheap. I was also going to recommend Brooks brothers. You need to weed through their stuff so it doesn’t look old lady, but you can’t beat their classic navy, and in the fall and winter they generally have one or two great tweed or wool/camel hair option. Their fabrics are excellent

For that price, i would expect i'm buying a baller blazer that looks like i'm the powerplayer in a meeting. Those blazers do not look like that in real life though.
