Blazers With "Inverted" Lapels- Yes or No?

In stores I have been in as well as online, blazer style jackets with inverted lapels fill the clearance racks.

 

Do you like the style or not?  I love a beautiful full lapel; I don't like inverted lapels.

Yes, it adds interest to an otherwise bland jacket

I love blazers and jackets of all types, and I like "different"...but for some reason...just looking at this off the bat, first impression, just not a fan. Doesn't add anything style-wise, to me.

I don't like those either.

I love the idea of them but when I try them on, I feel like it looks like my collar is askew.

Just give me an old-fashioned blazer.  I'm a blazer traditionalist

Maybe there's a reason why they're on the clearance racks.

I don't mind an inverted lapel.  It's something a little different.
