Like the long clean lines of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792231 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 15:14:49 +0000 Meredith 1792231@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie: Thanks for the advice!</p> <p>Elle: Thank you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792225 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 14:58:51 +0000 Angie 1792225@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Around the waist is good. Try petites too - since you are short in the waist and long in the legs, despite your height.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792211 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 14:44:16 +0000 Elle 1792211@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the green bomber on you. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792160 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 12:21:15 +0000 Meredith 1792160@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SandyG: Great advice!</p> <p>LisaP: Thanks for the positive feedback on the bomber!</p> <p>Jlpp: You make a good point about variety. Right now I want something really versatile but I could see owning jackets in a variety of lengths in the future. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792121 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 08:18:41 +0000 Anonymous 1792121@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bomber is definitely awesome on you but I like both long AND short denim jackets and so I actually like that one for diff outfits, as you suggested. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792097 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 03:45:35 +0000 Anonymous 1792097@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Agreeing with Angie . That bomber , in that colour , and styled as you did is a slam-dunk . </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792091 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 03:17:28 +0000 SandyG 1792091@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I adore worn-in vintage and save tons of it, but this particular jean jacket looks long and loose in this photo. Unless you absolutely love it, let it go. A good vintage look should reference your body and fit like a dream.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792089 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 03:13:51 +0000 Meredith 1792089@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Suz: Good to know. I'm also short waisted.</p> <p>Joy: Yes, I plan to keep trying. I couldn't believe the difference in fit just due to the denim wash. Same cut, different wash, completely different fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792087 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 03:08:38 +0000 Anonymous 1792087@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the bomber. Try denim jackets until you find the one you love. There are so many different types. I am kicking myself for not buying a denim bomber when I had the chance, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792085 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 02:56:50 +0000 Suz 1792085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Try the waist length version -- it depends on proportions and might work. It has to do with other factors in the cut as well. Mine hit at my natural waist (except one, which is slightly longer and curved through body) but I'm short-waisted. So...</p> <p>Love the bomber on you!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792067 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 02:15:46 +0000 Meredith 1792067@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, thanks for the confirmation. Do you think I should look for a jacket that hits around the waist or something more cropped? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792064 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 02:10:24 +0000 Angie 1792064@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bomber is great. Denim jacket is too long. Return.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792050 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 01:40:07 +0000 Meredith 1792050@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, good to hear the outside perspectives. I'm more drawn to the green bomber too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792033 Tue, 28 Mar 2017 01:00:18 +0000 jill58 1792033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the bomber better too. I took me a long time to find the two denim jackets that I own. One is more worn and a little oversized -- very casual. The other one is more fitted and a darker wash -- I wear it with dresses and skirts. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792002 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 22:41:20 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1792002@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the bomber. I think the denim jacket is a bit long, as you've noted. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792001 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 22:40:08 +0000 Sheila 1792001@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's beautiful on you!</p> <p>(ETA: I meant the green bomber) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1792000 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 22:37:56 +0000 Greenjeans 1792000@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Reacting quickly to color . . . the green looks terrific on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-all-casual-jackets#post-1791996 Mon, 27 Mar 2017 22:28:08 +0000 Meredith 1791996@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am one who struggles with denim jackets, but I would like to have one as an option. I *think* I prefer a bit of a worn vintage vibe and a less tailored fit. What do you think about this option from the Gap? The length is on the long side. Ok for pairing with jeans and shorts or should I keep looking? Also considering this bomber as an a lightweight topper when I'm wearing blue jeans (I don't care for blue on blue denim). Thoughts? </p>
