It just happens it's too big.&nbsp; I suppose I could have kept it and made my own trend, but since I like fitted denim jackets much more I'll leave that to someone else. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211768 Wed, 02 Apr 2014 00:09:12 +0000 unfrumped 1211768@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>ik, I think too big also.<br />This oversized thing is SO tricky. It has to be roomy in some places but not just big all over. Even fluid is like that. . In one way it's just like any "does it fit right" analysis but then there's the fun question of, did the retailer build that into the sizing so it IS big in the right way, or do we size up, or is the fit going to be off for that brand or item no matter what. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211649 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 21:07:36 +0000 ironkurtin 1211649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I don't love the oversized look in general.&nbsp; Back it goes! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211584 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 19:56:47 +0000 Catnip 1211584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm afraid it's too big.&nbsp; I much prefer the one cciele showed (even though it appears that an animal has been chewing on the right sleeve.&nbsp; Sorry, but that amount of distressing doesn't appeal to me.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211538 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 18:52:20 +0000 cciele 1211538@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, I think it needs to be longer and the sleeves a bit slimmer. This is what I think of when I think of oversized denim jacket:<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.forwardforward.com/fw/DisplayProduct.jsp?d=F&amp;s=B&amp;c=R13&amp;code=R13-WO22&amp;mkwid=RztUirPi|pcrid|23155032754&amp;utm_campaign=Product%20Listing%20Ads%20-%20Forward&amp;cvosrc=ppc%20pla.34684339954.&amp;utm_source=34684339954&amp;utm_medium=ppc%20pla&amp;network=g&amp;mobile=&amp;adgroups={adwords_groups}&amp;adlabel={adwords_labels}&amp;creative=23155032754&amp;adposition=1o1&amp;utm_campaign=Product%20Listing%20Ads%20-%20Forward&amp;pdv=c&amp;sourcetracking=google-pla&amp;gclid=CJfboMP6v70CFSho7AodaksAEg"><a href="http://www.forwardforward.com/fw/DisplayProduct.jsp?d=F&#038;s=B&#038;c=R13&#038;code=R13-WO22&#038;mkwid=RztUirPi" rel="nofollow">http://www.forwardforward.com/.....d=RztUirPi</a>|pcrid</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211454 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:35:35 +0000 annagybe 1211454@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Frankly it's not big enough. Also I think because you bought a men's the proportions are not quite right. It looks like a men's jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211453 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:35:10 +0000 rachylou 1211453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I also feel it reads too big rather than oversized. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211432 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:06:40 +0000 JG 1211432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>From your other thread I loved the look that Anna pinned. The cross body under the jacket, the lower back hem of the high - low top, and the floaty layers of the skirt together provided some volume to balance out the oversized jacket. (I'm on my phone so can't link to it.) Your super toned legs are so sleek that the jacket looks overwhelming. Would it work with boyfriends and booties? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211431 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 17:03:07 +0000 Thistle 1211431@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not certain with the fluid trend, but to my eye, it reads too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211417 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:44:02 +0000 kkards 1211417@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yeah, as the fluid trend comes in, i'm having a hard time finding the line between fluid and to big. this definitely has a 80's vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211416 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:43:28 +0000 catgirl 1211416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Not loving this but I'm not a fan of revisiting the look generally. I think I had this jacket in the 80s! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211410 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:39:01 +0000 Janet 1211410@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Rae. I wonder if scrunching/rolling the sleeves would help? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211408 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:37:07 +0000 rae 1211408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, well IMO it does seem too big. I feel like the oversized ones I see are long and big in the body but have some slimness still in the shoulder and sleeve.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/are-you-sure-this-isnt-just-plain-too-big#post-1211401 Tue, 01 Apr 2014 16:21:59 +0000 ironkurtin 1211401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In reference to my earlier question on oversize denim jackets. This is a R13 men's M purchased for $115 off Yoox. As always the fabric is divine, but is it just plain too big? </p>
