I'm not sure if they are available nowadays. I like all your samples above except No. 2 because I personally would not like to deal with the dangling belt and hardware. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ylf-what-kind-of-leather-jacket-is-most-versatile-w-dresses#post-1138838 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 17:49:07 +0000 unfrumped 1138838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Short for sure--that would look great. Try different fits to see how tight you like the jacket to feel, and think whether you'll mostly zip or unzip, or both.<br /> And see how you like the various collars and zips and strapping and all that--what is interesting and "edgy" enough but not overwhelming with details. Or you might want a jacket that is much more ladylike than the moto style. I think it's very jacket dependent and you may "know it when you see it".<br /> I'd vote for one that fits your curves in the right places, but is not skin-tight when zipped, as having good longevity. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ylf-what-kind-of-leather-jacket-is-most-versatile-w-dresses#post-1138766 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 16:58:24 +0000 carambola 1138766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your inspiration pics look right on target.&nbsp;I agree with Sveta that a&nbsp;cropped moto would be a fantastic complement to your skirts and dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ylf-what-kind-of-leather-jacket-is-most-versatile-w-dresses#post-1138756 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 16:52:28 +0000 Sveta 1138756@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good luck! <br />Tough moto jacket can be fab with your girly dresses if you like this style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ylf-what-kind-of-leather-jacket-is-most-versatile-w-dresses#post-1138682 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 16:01:56 +0000 lyn* 1138682@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm, it looks like I'll be trying a few things on - good thing I have all day! Gonna have lunch and pop over to see what I can find!</p> <p>I'll just bring an open mind </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ylf-what-kind-of-leather-jacket-is-most-versatile-w-dresses#post-1138574 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 15:04:14 +0000 Angie 1138574@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Shorter in length for sure. And probably quite fitted because you prefer to&nbsp;define the waist. These moto jackets are fashionably fluid - which I personally prefer. My tailored fits are looser than most people wear their tailored fits. How do you feel about that fit?&nbsp;</p> <p>Moto styling is fab, but so is non-moto styling.&nbsp;</p> <p>Wear a flared skirt when you try the jackets on. Those are the trickiest to match with a jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ylf-what-kind-of-leather-jacket-is-most-versatile-w-dresses#post-1138573 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 15:03:13 +0000 Thistle 1138573@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would think a blazer in leather . . . although motos are really trending right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ylf-what-kind-of-leather-jacket-is-most-versatile-w-dresses#post-1138386 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 11:11:38 +0000 Irene 1138386@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 best for a dress! (at least on her, it depends on the length of your body, really, so you will have to try and try and try) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/ask-angie-ylf-what-kind-of-leather-jacket-is-most-versatile-w-dresses#post-1138306 Tue, 14 Jan 2014 05:32:34 +0000 lyn* 1138306@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have an itching to go to my fabulous Danier outlet tomorrow and I was hoping to find a leather jacket that would work with various capsules - but most likely my travel and date night one - and will play nicely with dresses.</p> <p>I would imagine that length would be a consideration; I think I would be looking at a waist-length one, because my skirt would just flare underneath it.&nbsp; </p> <ul> <li>Any suggestions for jacket styling? A moto jacket?&nbsp;</li> <li>Any suggestions for colour? Black is versatile but boring, no?</li> </ul> <p>I tried to scour Pinterest for some ideas before bothering you nice ladies, but I couldn't really find an answer to my questions.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thanks in advance :)</p> <p><i>PS: I realize that these are all black&nbsp;motos - I guess they are very popular for bloggers! :)</i></p> <p><i>ETA: My mom is making fun of me - because this is exactly how she used to wear her leather jacket when she was my age! And midi-skirts were in! She had a pleather jacket, but really wanted a leather one - and my dad's first gift to her was a beautiful grey leather jacket with a short trench style (she still wears it and refuses to give it to me)!</i> </p>
