I just buy the styles that I like most and don't worry if they are trending or not, but I have a retro element to my style so looking out of date is fine with me. If the right chore jacket found its way to me I would pounce, I love how this one is a pretty colour and works so well on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055802 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 22:23:18 +0000 Anonymous 2055802@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both on you, but like the pink more. You wear the light colors so well! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055789 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 21:04:36 +0000 Sal 2055789@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like these both on you so whichever tickles your fancy.</p> <p>I have never heard the term chore jacket outside the forum so can't advise on their trendiness or not.&nbsp; It is definitely a term that makes me smile - but I did look it up and see it is a practical jacket in origins. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055753 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 16:27:36 +0000 Cardiff girl 2055753@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That blue jacket looks lovely on you,l would keep it.l think that it would be Uber versatile and not the likely to date.Jean jackets are already a modern classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055739 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 15:08:44 +0000 Angie 2055739@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Helena and Carla said. I certainly intend wearing my own chore jacket for a while </p> <p>Trends last forever these days. They matter, yet they almost don’t matter. And they will matter less and less over time. </p> <p>The new blue chore jacket looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055734 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 14:56:17 +0000 JAileen 2055734@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I wonder if a real chore jacket would have staying power, versus this “styled like a chore jacket”. Jenni, FashIntern, thank you. I love the pink jacket and have worn it A LOT. Now if it would just cool down, I could wear it again. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055686 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 10:59:53 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2055686@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are nice. I like the pink one better with your hair &amp; coloring, think the length is also better. Idk if it will be on trend and make you look all savvy about the latest &amp; greatest for years to come, but I don't think that's your goal anyway. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055677 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 09:02:44 +0000 Jenni NZ 2055677@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well I think the chore jacket looks “fine”, but the pink jacket looks really nice. I think my mother used to call this “damning with faint praise”. Or in other words, I like the pink one better! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055640 Sun, 25 Aug 2019 02:27:27 +0000 Anonymous 2055640@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Definitely high longevity, nice blue.

If it serves you well and you enjoy wearing it, don’t worry about on trend or not. I think they will be around for awhile and you got in on the cutting edge with yours. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055619 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:52:38 +0000 Anonymous 2055619@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>As Carla and Helena said. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055614 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:37:40 +0000 Carla 2055614@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My chore jacket is new and hasn't had a lot of wears yet, however, like nemosmom said - it is longer, and I find the fabric softer/less stiff than my denim jacket that is 6+ years old. Though chore jackets are having their 'moment' I don't think the style will date. </p> <p>That pale blue colour is delicious! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055613 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:34:02 +0000 KikiG 2055613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the blue one fits you really well and even unstyled, was flattering. If a casual third piece outfit maker fits your life style, it will have a long and happy life with you.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055612 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:30:37 +0000 Style Fan 2055612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they are both classics.&nbsp; I have one chore jacket and two jean jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055610 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:22:30 +0000 rachylou 2055610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, chore jackets are forever. My dad had one and then I found and wore it as a teen a decade later </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055607 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:18:19 +0000 Helena 2055607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think these both look classic and understated, and are unlikely to date quickly. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055604 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:08:57 +0000 nemosmom 2055604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t say whether a chore jacket is classic or trendy, but I’ve had my chore jacket for almost 14 years and I find I reach for it more often than my jean jacket. My chore jacket is longer than my jean jacket which I think helps make it more versatile (for me). It also leans a bit more neutral for my wardrobe (it’s olive vs. the medium blue wash of my jean jacket); I feel like it works in any season, more so than my jean jacket. </p> <p>I love both jackets you posted. Is here one you think you would reach for more than the other?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-a-chore-jacket-have-longevity#post-2055603 Sat, 24 Aug 2019 23:01:15 +0000 JAileen 2055603@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I ordered this blue chore jacket from Nordstrom. It fits well, feels good, and is a nice color. I am comparing it with a pale pink jean jacket, which also fits well. A jean jacket is definitely a classic. Is a chore jacket also a classic, or is it trendy? Obviously neither jacket has been styled in these pictures. I would like to hear your thoughts on this blue jacket, and on chore jackets in general. I tend to keep my things a long time, so I need things to have longevity. I also want to be more thoughtful in my purchases.</p> <p>Here is the blue jacket for anyone interested:<br /> <a href="https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/bdg-urban-outfitters-denim-utility-jacket/5365066" rel="nofollow">https://shop.nordstrom.com/s/b.....et/5365066</a> </p>
