I hope this is in the right area. I wanted one visited frequently by Gnetters.
I am looking for a light soft draped type jacket to wear over spring/summer dresses when the occasion demands a smart casual attire. I see them on people on TV but can never see the same thing in the shops. Zara's, H&M's and M&S have come closest but the colours are too bright. I want a pale pink or dove grey or something similar. Help please. Anyone know where the TV celebs shop?

try QVC online or watch it on TV ,they have a great range of jackets in this style and you get 30 days to wear and decide if you want to keep them or send them back if you have Sky its channel 650

Look at Jacques Vert they generally have some nice jackets. If you have trouble finding exactly what you want have you considered going to a tailors?

I am actually looking for a traditional navy blazer.

Can any Gners can help with my search?

I had 2 navy jackets way back. Both served me well.

One was the navy blazer (easily dressed up or down).
And the other was a just over the waist length navy jacket ideal for wearing with dresses.

Wish I still had themsmile

Thank you for your suggestions. I need it for Thursday when I head off on holiday and will look at all the ideas suggested here. If I can't find anything I'll make do with what I have. I just have this image in my head of what I want the outfit to look like and the jacket is a big part of that. Just wish the TV lot would place jacket so you can see the label.
