I like the way you have styled the jacket. It adds a lovely cosiness to your outfits the way a long cardigan does but with a dressier feel. Very nice!

Actualy ladies, these are two different jackets. The first one is a gray collarless with short sleeves. The second one is black, has three quarter sleeves and a collar. I have had them for several years and wear the black one so much that I ordered a second one three years ago. (I purchased the first one about eight years ago) I think I have worn the gray one only once before but I have been experimenting with it. I had many compliments on it at work and really should wear it more.

Again. This is a classic and timeless style. I have a black cashmere swing coat that belonged to my mother. It is probably 65 years old. Silk lining, hand stitching, classic late 40's style. No one could look at it and tell what year it was purchased.

GREAT ways to incorporate both jackets - but #5 blows me away especially. Sweet outfit!

I love both of these looks, but I particularly like the softness of the gray coat. Nice that you can see the sleeves of your white shirt peeking out.

Shame on me for not looking more closely. I see the differences now.

But I still stand by my statement that you look great in all the versions. And now I love two of your jackets.

I love a swing jacket, it has such a feminine and retro feel. These look great on you.

I think that shape is very difficult to wear and you really pulled it off. It looks great in that combination. Nicely done.

You look amazing in this style. You have the height to carry it off brilliantly. Like the others, I especially like #5, but I also like the grey one with the pencil skirt.

Love them both! Almost like a tunic look but more versatile.

No kidding! The Ilenia P's are high kicking with the swing coat!
