I agree with those who said you just need some type of necklace or scarf to tie it all together. Nice jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33710 Wed, 05 Nov 2008 12:59:33 +0000 Inge 33710@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It really is a beautiful jacket and you look great in it Aj.</p> <p>Another thing you could try - a bit bolder colourwise - is a button-down shirt in a bright blue like this one:<br /> <a href="http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/onlineProductDisplay.vs?namespace=productDisplay&#038;origin=onlineProductDisplay.jsp&#038;event=display&#038;prnbr=9F-171718&#038;page=1&#038;cgname=OSCLOBLOSAB&#038;rfnbr=3947" rel="nofollow">http://www2.victoriassecret.co.....rfnbr=3947</a></p> <p>I have a hunch it could work with the green. It's an even brighter blue in reality, and I would never have thought it would suit me (I usually wear cool but more subdued colours), but it does. (I actually got complimented on it twice in one day). So it's worth a try even if you don't usually wear this shade of blue.<br /> (warning: it did shrink a little in the wash) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33648 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 23:53:20 +0000 Anonymous 33648@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That is a great fall jacket and it looks fab on you. I like it best with the brown turtleneck, but the cream was good too and gave it a different look.<br /> How about adding a long scarf? I could see a charcoal grey scarf with the cream top rather than a color so as not to detract from the beautiful color of the jacket.<br /> With the brown top something rusty toned or gold as mentioned before would be beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33645 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 23:26:00 +0000 Amanda 33645@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks everyone for the color ideas. I was really stuck trying to figure out what might go with this green so I appreciate such a wide variety in your suggestions. I needed to get my brain unstuck. There's seems to be an equal split between those who prefer it with the dark top and those who prefer it with the light top!</p> <p>Dani - I thought you had the same jacket -- I'd love to see photos of how you are wearing it. You are good at mixing colors, something I'll still learning. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33625 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 21:26:35 +0000 Dani 33625@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK, AJ...I just looked at my jacket (same one as you) to help you figure out colors. I've worn a berry cardigan with it, a cream ruffle blouse, a white button down shirt and a grey shirt (not sure that it was the best color for it, but anyway). Look at the ribbon they've put around the lining as well...lilac and a yellow (as Nicole mentioned) would work. Also, the persimmon, honey glaze and maize colors that J Crew has now will also work. I think the guava color (in the J Crew Kelly shirt) might work well too (I saw a model at the store with this jacket, a white shirt and a necklace that had the guava/persimmon color in it and it looked sharp). I'm not sure about teal or a dark blue but you could give those a look too. Rusty reds would work as well. I can take some pictures if you'd like so you can see how these items look (just let me know).</p> <p>Hope that helped a little. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33623 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:56:08 +0000 celia 33623@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely jacket.I'm with Nicole, I prefer it with the darker tones.</p> <p>The sugestion of trying it with your wine Leo&#38;Sage top seems very good. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33620 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:32:04 +0000 bella 33620@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great jacket! I like it better with cream tones. The first picture is my favorite. I agree with Antje. A necklace in burgundy, amber, rich chocolate brown would look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33616 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:09:54 +0000 Antje 33616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful jacket, looks great on you! I like the lighter tops much better than the darker ones. I think you just need a necklace (maybe with burgundy red tones?) and the look would be perfect. As it is it looks just a little "bare".<br /> I'd still love to see the jacket over a button down as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33610 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:14:43 +0000 Nicole 33610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My favorite of those four options was the third one--brown turtleneck dark jeans. </p> <p>I prefer it with dark colors over the cream--both tops and pants.</p> <p>It would look beautiful with black, maroon or maybe plum. Do you have any tops that are black and cream print? That might work well. I also think there might a perfect shade of yellow for it too--sort of mustard but not too muddy. That shade of green has a lot of yellow in it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33609 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 19:07:34 +0000 Laura 33609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket looks smashing on you! Do you have any collared shirts you could try (other than white)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33596 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:25:20 +0000 Tanya 33596@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it with both cream and brown tops. I would also try it with your wine Leo&#38;Sage top. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/aj-what-to-bear-with-green-velvet-jacket#post-33594 Tue, 04 Nov 2008 17:21:08 +0000 Amanda 33594@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought the green velvet jacket at J.Crew during the personal shopper promotion in the late summer. Now that it is cool enough to wear the jacket, I am having difficulty figuring out what to wear it with. </p> <p>My white button-down shirt looks too stark with the green (which has a gold tinge) so I tried it with a few cream and brown tops that I have. I don't know if my eye hasn't adjusted to this style on me or if I don't have the right kinds of tops. Any advice on what kind of top to wear with this jacket would be greatly appreciated.</p> <p><a href="http://s514.photobucket.com/albums/t346/aj-seattle/JCrew%20Green%20jacket/" rel="nofollow">http://s514.photobucket.com/al.....%20jacket/</a> </p>
