Motos are handy to wear over dresses and skirts and utility jackets over jeans, but you can make both work for either if you style it right, I think. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-jackets-till-on-trend#post-1204666 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 14:53:08 +0000 Von 1204666@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sure hope so, because I wear the HECK out of the one I got from J Crew in the fall!&nbsp; I would love it in Navy for the spring.&nbsp; The shiny buttons gives it a little more oomph for my work wardrobe, and something unexpected for my weekend wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-jackets-till-on-trend#post-1204662 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 14:49:06 +0000 Angie 1204662@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes. I mentioned utility jackets in my paragraph under todays must have&nbsp;list.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-jackets-till-on-trend#post-1204585 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:10:00 +0000 El Cee 1204585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally enjoy pairing rugged with ladylike. That is part of my fashion persona. I often wear the jacket with something feminine (e.g. --&nbsp;lace top, drapey sheer blouse, sparkly top) or refined (e.g. - pencil skirt and pointy toed kitten heels). I like the juxtaposition, but it might not be the right look for others. With all the pockets, the jacket has a more "maximal" look. If you are more of a minimalist, this may not work for your style. I am a card-carrying maximalist. :-)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-jackets-till-on-trend#post-1204580 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 13:03:06 +0000 Glory 1204580@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks El Cee. I really love the look of the one you posted. I wondered about the rugged nature of the military/utility jacket when the trend seems to be more refined. I think I will perhaps order and give it a try. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-jackets-till-on-trend#post-1204570 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:52:43 +0000 El Cee 1204570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I purchased a navy utility jacket last fall that I wear often as an indoor topper (in winter) and as a lightweight coat when the weather is considerably warmer. It looks great with my more casual denim outfits. I also use it to&nbsp;"casualize" a skirt or dress outfit (as I would a denim jacket).</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=74688&amp;vid=1&amp;pid=952996022">http://oldnavy.gap.com/browse/.....=952996022</a></p> <p>I do own a couple of motos (leather and pleather), but I find they are heavier (and warmer)&nbsp;than utility jackets. I wear them mostly as "outerwear", so they fill a slightly different role in my wardrobe. I enjoy having BOTH options.</p> <p>Angie did mention utility jackets in today's blog post, so I am guessing that they are still very much on trend.</p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-these-jackets-till-on-trend#post-1204549 Tue, 25 Mar 2014 12:19:23 +0000 Glory 1204549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking at adding some spring items to my wardrobe and wondering whether this style of jacket is a good addition. I think it could work well as MOTG/WAHM but after today's post am wondering whether a moto might be a better choice. I do like the idea of a navy jacket.&nbsp;<br />Thanks </p>
