I think #2 is probably the better choice as well, since it is more classic. </p> <p>What does "low stance" mean? </p> <p>That leather jacket is to die for, but it is SO not anything I need. The red jacket, on the other hand - will it have any longevity? I adore it, and I have nothing red in my closet for work....</p> <p>Jonesy, I love AT, but the shipping is an additional $15 to here, on top of what we pay anyway. If I ever get to Seattle (I'm thinking December!)... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243430 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 01:47:05 +0000 Marley 243430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well - Angie has given you great direction on this, so I just want to add that the red jacket is calling my name - luckily its not in my size - so I'm Not Listening! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243375 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:27:08 +0000 Angie 243375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 - fab, but not for court.</p> <p>#2 - fab and for court. Versatile. </p> <p>#3 - KILLER. Had this on a client today. </p> <p>#4 - pass. Low stances are hard to pull off when you're petite. </p> <p>#5 - fabulous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243370 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:21:37 +0000 MsMary 243370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd totally wear the first one to court! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243353 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:13:01 +0000 taylor 243353@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am also a fan of the first black jacket!</p> <p>Feel free to purchase the other cute items as well:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243334 Tue, 02 Nov 2010 00:04:59 +0000 Jonesy 243334@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like that first one a lot, but I agree that the ruched sleeves are maybe a bit too casual for court days (I'm guessing, from what you've said). I love the idea of a red jacket for you (with your hair--too fab!) but I'm not sure about that particular style....Of course, there is only one way to decide about stuff--you must buy it and try it on here :).</p> <p>Have you seen the jackets at Ann Taylor lately? Online at least, they are having a big sale and have lots of black jackets in relatively modern shapes (but reasonably conservative for court) at cheap prices, and I would bet they'd have a decent petites selection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243319 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:44:26 +0000 catgirl 243319@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am in love with the red one. I have no color in my jacket world and may have to give it a try... EEK! After January 1st, I am joining SYC (except for the Halogen knit pencil skirt...). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243317 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:40:29 +0000 annagybe 243317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Tahari jackets reads more appropriate for court. Also it's definitely not a style that will date for a while. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243313 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:36:28 +0000 Carole 243313@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well in the first two options, you have my two favorite brands, MK and Tahari, I like the longer style of the first one personally, but the second one is equally nice, just shorter. What works better for your shape and body type?</p> <p>The second set of jackets are FAB, LOVE LOVE LOVE the first in yellow! What an impression that would make. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243311 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:34:26 +0000 catgirl 243311@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My shoulders are pretty straight across and a little bulky from rock climbing. So yes, jacket shopping is a nightmare. The only way I know is to try, but you all are so good at eliminating my plain old bad choices first! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243310 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:32:53 +0000 Aida 243310@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that top one is worth trying on, the low sleeve ruching detail looks neat. I'm not quite an IT but I do have a very strong shoulder line, so I have a really hard time with blazers; I can't remember how sloped your shoulders are (and I see you sneakily removed your shape photos ) but do be wary of how thick the shoulder pads in any blazer are and where they fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243309 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:32:38 +0000 catgirl 243309@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point! It probably isn't okay enough - but I scrunch my sleeves anyway. What would you think? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243307 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:31:18 +0000 annagybe 243307@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>To me the ruched sleeves make it more casual. Is that ok? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/black-suit-jacket-opnions#post-243298 Mon, 01 Nov 2010 23:19:31 +0000 catgirl 243298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Gaah! And this!
