The jacket I bought myself is the Graphite Overland Kylie, not one of the blazers. I usually wear a small; the extra small fits me because it runs large on me. That fit lesson applies to the whole edit: a jacket has to work over the layer you actually wear, not only look good fastened in a product photo.
For indoors, choose a quiet neckline, room for a fine knit or a shorter hem with a higher waist. For cold outdoor days, go straight to my reversible shearling and size experience. A blazer and a winter outer layer solve different problems.

Toteme Garderob black collarless blazer
The collarless shape leaves a shirt collar or necklace room to show. Wear a fine crewneck and straight trousers when you want tailoring without a conventional lapel.

The Frankie Shop Bea black oversized blazer
Bea is the roomy option over a fitted tee or fine knit. Check the shoulder and sleeve with that layer on; oversized should look deliberate, not like the wrong size.

Max Mara grey-brown melange double-breasted blazer
Grey-brown texture and peak lapels add interest to cream, charcoal or a plain dark dress without a strong color.

Theory Carissa black wool blazer
Carissa is the slimmer black work option. Check the shoulder and sleeve precisely, then wear it with straight trousers or a long skirt.

Veronica Beard Miller espresso double-breasted dickey jacket
The espresso double-breasted blazer is a rich-brown alternative to black, with a nipped waist, gold-tone buttons and a cutaway hem. Wear it over an ivory knit with straight jeans for the weekend, or with dark trousers for work. The stretch suiting is a polyester, viscose and cotton blend, not wool. Check the fit over your real underlayer; the interchangeable dickey is separate.

Quince Sahara camel Italian wool long blazer
The longer camel hem works over dark denim or black trousers. A fitted top beneath it keeps the blazer as the outer shape.

Zadig&Voltaire Vito black cropped blazer
Vito is the shorter double-breasted option for a higher waist or long skirt. Tuck the plain top underneath so another long hem does not hide the proportions.

Polo Ralph Lauren black stretch-wool blazer
Choose the fitted waist when you want a clearer outline than Bea. A plain shirt or fine knit leaves that shape visible with a straight skirt or trousers.

Cinq a Sept Karlie black ruched-sleeve blazer
Ruched three-quarter sleeves make Karlie less formal than a full suit jacket. Use it for dinner over a plain top and trousers, without adding more sleeve detail.

Smythe Duchess black fitted blazer
The fitted shape and gold crest buttons carry the detail. A white shirt and straight jeans, or black trousers and a fine knit, leave them room.

For Cold Days: Overland Kylie Reversible Shearling Jacket
I bought the gray Graphite version myself. It runs large on me: I normally wear a small, but I chose an extra small and it fits perfectly. That is my own fit experience, so compare the size guide before choosing yours.
Read my Overland Kylie shearling jacket story and fit notes for the shopping details.
Check the fit with the real underlayer
Try the shoulder, sleeve and front both open and fastened. A fitted jacket and a roomy one have different intentions, but neither should only work over a thin top if you plan to wear knitwear. For dinner, change the shoe or jewelry before replacing an otherwise useful outfit.
Choose what goes beneath it
Use the neckline and fabric comparisons in cardigans, crewnecks and high-neck knits. Then compare ballet flats, Mary Janes and loafers for the trouser or skirt hem you are keeping.
