I had them on clients with a similar body type to you and they worked: </p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/dkny-collarless-leather-jacket/3476969?origin=PredictiveSearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/S/dk.....tiveSearch</a></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-seamed-leather-jacket/3462177?origin=PredictiveSearch" rel="nofollow">http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/ha.....tiveSearch</a></p> <p></p> <p><a href="http://shop.nordstrom.com/s/halogen-seamed-leather-jacket/3462177?origin=PredictiveSearch" rel="nofollow"><br /></a></p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others--leather-jacket-recommendation#post-980425 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 01:52:27 +0000 Mochi 980425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie describes it as more towards a blush, but it's definitely with some very pale brown undertone&nbsp;(though not tan at all). I'll try and take a close-up pic of the leather tomorrow. As for size, it's S, M, L, XL so much broader than 8, 10, 12, etc. It seems like there would be some leeway with the fit, though, because it's not a jacket that closes if I'm recalling correctly (and I'm too lazy to even walk over to my closet right now).&nbsp;</p> <p>I could see the black being tempting. I happen to have a black leather blazer, and the taupe is my first light-colored leather jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others--leather-jacket-recommendation#post-980412 Mon, 15 Jul 2013 01:41:41 +0000 Susie 980412@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think I might try that one. Thanks, Mochi, for weighing in. Is it more grayish taupe rather than tan? Did you take your regular size? </p> <p>I am torn between the taupe and the black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others--leather-jacket-recommendation#post-978558 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 19:50:15 +0000 Mochi 978558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes! I love that cutaway jacket and am probably keeping it. It's a beautiful soft leather, a distinctive cut and could be dressed up or down. I think it looks nice on me, an über apple. Would probably look even better with your coloring. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others--leather-jacket-recommendation#post-978439 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 17:59:30 +0000 Glory 978439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Mochi tried on 2 yesterday although not petite and both were lovely. I love the idea of sand, white&nbsp;or grey although basic black is also great. I love tan but always struggle with it for some reason. I think the colour depends on your palette and what is predominant in your wardrobe.</p> <p>On the spur of the moment, last week I ended up buying this jacket, which Shannon also has. It is not a petite but is cut for a petite. It comes in several colours, I purchased it in white, from Danier leather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others--leather-jacket-recommendation#post-978315 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 16:04:33 +0000 TraceyLiz65 978315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Susie I really like both of those! &nbsp;Black is very versatile but I also think grey is a good option as well. &nbsp;I'm looking for a black leather for when i reach goal that is petite as well, but needs to fit in my $250 budget if anyone has suggestions... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others--leather-jacket-recommendation#post-978297 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 15:45:07 +0000 Angie 978297@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The second style is a big thumbs up!

For starters - did you try the one Nancy (Mochi) modelled for us yesterday? That's a goodie to start off with. </p> <p>Sorry, Suzie, but I have to run! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others--leather-jacket-recommendation#post-978233 Fri, 12 Jul 2013 14:43:46 +0000 Susie 978233@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do not currently own a leather jacket (tragic, right?) and I think I would like to have one. I would really appreciate&nbsp;some suggestions as to a good style / brand&nbsp;for a 50+ apple with a short torso. I think a petite might be best; I probably need a 12/14 or XL depending on the cut.&nbsp;</p> <p>I wear a lot of black and gray, denim, white and brights. Would a black jacket be best or would another color be better? I have a fear of dressing too young or like I am trying too hard.&nbsp;</p> <p>Yesterday I placed an order for several items from the NAS but am certainly willing to order a few to try.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks for any suggestions.&nbsp;</p> <p></p> <p>Edited to add: I am also open to hearing that a leather jacket is not the best choice for me.&nbsp;</p>
