I wonder how it would look with silver-grey jeans or trousers and silver or pewter booties and bag, and a pearl colored knit top. Even silver metallic jeans could be interesting. I would play with textures. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-buy-buy-june-but-what-would-you-wear-with-this#post-1289917 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 02:09:00 +0000 Kristin L 1289917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you could make it work. It looks like it could be worn as a neutral. So, jeans and tee? I like Laura's idea of wear&nbsp;a column of color&nbsp;with it.&nbsp;Personally, I try not to buy something if I can't think of how to make 2-3 outfits. I have a problem with buying something because I think it's cool, but then never wearing it because I can't figure how to wear it.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-buy-buy-june-but-what-would-you-wear-with-this#post-1289904 Sat, 28 Jun 2014 01:55:13 +0000 Laura (rhubarbgirl) 1289904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm. Jeans, definitely, with a knit tee - Cons or colorful sneakers or boots in the winter. Over a button-front shirt and a skirt, to toughen them up a bit? With a column of color in black or charcoal grey (or white, for summer, if a leather jacket for summer works where you are). </p> <p>I'm struggling a bit because in my climate this would be an outdoor jacket, not something I'd wear all day, so it doesn't really have to work *perfectly* with the rest of the outfit, just reasonably well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-buy-buy-june-but-what-would-you-wear-with-this#post-1289778 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:57:32 +0000 Angie 1289778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you can return it Amy, satisfy your curiosity and play with it at home.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-buy-buy-june-but-what-would-you-wear-with-this#post-1289774 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:55:07 +0000 Desmo April 1289774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I kind of love it. As long as the fit was good and it works unzipped I can see wearing it with a ton of things.</p> <p>I'm currently working with urban warrior rocker for style so your mileage will vary but here are some ideas with clothes I have.</p> <p>*Straight leg/ skinny jeans, white drapey T-shirt, grey cons</p> <p>*Black ponte skinnies, black top (could do white as well), black combat boots</p> <p>*Black tube skirt, white or black top, booties. </p> <p>*Grey skinnies (depends on if the shades work, need to see in person), black top, black shoes</p> <p>With in each outfit I have a bunch of variation, I have multiple black or white tops that could work, like a black, fluid-fit button-up top in a silky fabric vs a drapey T. Plus that's all before I get into colors. I have a fair amount of purples that could work. </p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-buy-buy-june-but-what-would-you-wear-with-this#post-1289773 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:54:52 +0000 minimalist 1289773@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lyn*, you're right about metallics; I just don't have experience with that yet.</p> <p>Angie, good eye for the length! I'd only compared the hem to the sleeve length, didn't see that it hits just above the mannequin's crotch. Hmm. I have a very long torso for my height and prefer jackets that end just at the upper hip. </p> <p>I think of my neck as short, but was told the other day it's long. Average? Is this jacket neck-shortening? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-buy-buy-june-but-what-would-you-wear-with-this#post-1289757 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:41:55 +0000 Angie 1289757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>First of all - if it doesn't fit - please return it, since it's a big size.&nbsp;</p> <p>The length is a little off unless you are very tall. It's a trouser and jeans thing. Do you have a shorter neck?&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-buy-buy-june-but-what-would-you-wear-with-this#post-1289749 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:35:52 +0000 lyn* 1289749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think I'd even buy an orphan because then it just frustrates me from the get go!</p> <p>As a metallic, wouldn't this kind of go with ... everything?&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-buy-buy-june-but-what-would-you-wear-with-this#post-1289745 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:32:05 +0000 minimalist 1289745@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks kkards; I almost titled the post "buying an orphan"! Might even go back and change that.</p> <p>I miss wearing white, and also envision that column of white you describe. I hesitate, because my life now includes a feisty feline.</p> <p>The jacket is goat leather with a faux-sharkskin finish. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-buy-buy-june-but-what-would-you-wear-with-this#post-1289735 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:08:58 +0000 kkards 1289735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Meta question first, it's one of my goals not to buy things I love but can't envision in an outfit. For me, that usually means I'm buying an orphan.<br /> Now that being said, I can clearly see this with jeans and cons or booties. I can also see it with over a column of white, with this really being a statement piece. Not totally sure what the material is, but it looks like it could dress up or down. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/buy-buy-buy-june-but-what-would-you-wear-with-this#post-1289728 Fri, 27 Jun 2014 22:01:56 +0000 minimalist 1289728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What would you wear with this?</p> <p>And if I may sneak in a meta question, how do you handle items you find fascinating but can't envision in an outfit or ensemble?</p> <p>This jacket will be just-flattering-enough. It's a big size, in a brand that consistently fits me. The seller accepts returns (buyer pays shipping) so not too much risk involved. </p> <p>But I'm not sure what it needs to work. I can see this playing well in high-low (e.g. Converse in similar color, or jeans in similar color with orange t-shirt and cons) but part of me wonders what I might be missing. </p> <p>What lifestyle image does this piece have on its own? </p> <p>Brutal, unfiltered feedback, please. :-)</p> <p>ETA: material is goat leather, with faux-sharkskin finish. </p>
