However, for summer I mostly am on the lookout for something tailored to wear with skirts and dresses. YMMV </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-fitted-denim-jacket-or-boyfriend-sized#post-1185758 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 00:18:09 +0000 karymk 1185758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you do boyfriend fit on top I guess you would need a slimmer pant shape on bottom and vice versa. &nbsp;With a tiny fitted jacket it's easier to do BF pants and fluffy or Aline&nbsp;skirts. &nbsp;I almost think that unless you go around in "high fashion mode" most of the time that having a big denim jacket can be a big misstep. &nbsp;For instance, when you are running to the store in workout gear and sneakers, I think a bigger jacket would look not so good. &nbsp;However, if you had a real "outfit" on, with heels, a killer bag and good hair, the big jacket might &nbsp;look more hip. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-fitted-denim-jacket-or-boyfriend-sized#post-1185754 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 00:15:03 +0000 carter 1185754@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you need a fitted one for roomier bottoms and a boyfriend one for more fitted bottoms. Or one or the other, depending on what you'd like to wear it with. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-fitted-denim-jacket-or-boyfriend-sized#post-1185746 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 00:06:15 +0000 Anonymous 1185746@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think both fits are valid! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-fitted-denim-jacket-or-boyfriend-sized#post-1185744 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 00:04:10 +0000 Diana 1185744@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Depends on what you want to wear it with, I think. I wear mine mostly with dresses and skirts, or sometimes crops, but more rarely with long pants, so shrunken works best for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-fitted-denim-jacket-or-boyfriend-sized#post-1185737 Thu, 06 Mar 2014 00:00:39 +0000 fuzzylogic 1185737@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have it on good authority (ahem, Angie) that fluidity is the catch-cry if the season so I suspect that the boyfriend styles are the modern way to wear a denim jacket..... But I guess it depends what flatters you most. Looking fabulous is never passé, darling....!</p> <p>PS I recently bought a fitted denim jacket, too- snap! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-fitted-denim-jacket-or-boyfriend-sized#post-1185736 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 23:59:44 +0000 Caro in Oz 1185736@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd go for both - they are very different animals imo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-fitted-denim-jacket-or-boyfriend-sized#post-1185729 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 23:55:52 +0000 Helena 1185729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am not very fashion-forward, but I would go for a fitted version, as I think it would look nice over fluid tops and dresses, and also give you more seasons. But you are more fashion-forward I think, so I would say the boyfriend is likely the trendier fit.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-fitted-denim-jacket-or-boyfriend-sized#post-1185724 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 23:53:11 +0000 Angie 1185724@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fitted is not passé. Not at all. </p> <p>There is room for both silhouettes. I wear all my denim jackets tailored. And one is shrunken. And the most recent mixed media denim jacket is on the fluid side is tailored. Hope that helps. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-and-others-fitted-denim-jacket-or-boyfriend-sized#post-1185719 Wed, 05 Mar 2014 23:46:05 +0000 karymk 1185719@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm in a little quandry. &nbsp;I have always wanted a super fitted denim jacket in a great vintage wash. &nbsp;I bought one at GAP, very fitted. Looks best open, is almost too&nbsp;snug when buttoned. &nbsp;</p> <p>No sooner do I buy my super tiny&nbsp;denim jacket, than I see a "boyfriend" sized denim jacket in the new issue of Elle magazine. Which got me thinking. Should I go up a couple of sizes this season? Is fitted passé?&nbsp;</p> <p>I guess my question would be:&nbsp;Should a good denim jacket be fitted or baggy this season if you had to pick one?&nbsp; </p>
