Thank you Angie. Not that I don't value everyone's opinions, because I do. I just really didn't see it at first, and I think I kinda really want the jacket too. So I was really hoping it has some sort of timelessness. And if it doesn't, well I'll be rockin it out anyway! haha. I did some comparing though, and I do see now that the lapels are larger than some other jackets. It doesn't bother me though, I don't feel it's too much. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-771135 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 18:24:02 +0000 Angie 771135@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I disagree. I vote that this blazer has longevity. Classic stripe, modern classic blazer shape and great lapels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-771129 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 18:14:59 +0000 Raisin 771129@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok a lot of surprises here for me. I had no idea about the lapels, are they considered oversized or something? And I did t know horizontal stripes is kind of a fad....good to know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-770778 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 03:45:30 +0000 CocoLion 770778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the cut is fairly classic but horizontally striped blazers showed up a few years ago, andcame out in force last winter and spring. Therefore I cannot guarantee the longevity of this look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-770770 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 03:40:51 +0000 Raisin 770770@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I never thought of the lapel, it didn't even occur to me that it was distinct. I guess it's wider than normal? Good points though. I suppose it is summery too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-770750 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 03:09:36 +0000 merwoman 770750@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Would be nice for Spring/Summer. I agree with Deb about the lapel - it's quite distinctive and may date the jacket. I am no expert, but, if it's expensive, I would pass. Especially if I can't wear it now and would have to wait for the warmer weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-770749 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 03:08:44 +0000 lyn* 770749@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I concur with Suz's assessment; </p> <p>I also think that the rounded wide lapels will probably date it faster than some other blazers. </p> <p>Given all that, I still think it's a versatile piece if your main seasons were spring/summer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-770747 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 03:06:26 +0000 Deborah 770747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I just bought one similar which I will post for keep or return, but I like this! And second what Suz said:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-770743 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 03:04:04 +0000 Suz 770743@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, this is a summer piece, primarily. Cotton/ linen means that it will wrinkle quite a bit...but also drape in a nice way. </p> <p>I think it will last a few years. Angie was just saying that horizontal stripes look like a lasting trend. But it won't look fashion forward, if that is a goal. </p> <p>I love the look of it. But I doubt if I would wear it (in this fabrication) in fall/winter. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-770738 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 02:59:08 +0000 Raisin 770738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Deb just curious, what do you mean by the lapel style?</p> <p>Merwoman it's a Cotten linen blend. Not sure if that's all season, maybe more lightweight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-770733 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 02:55:37 +0000 merwoman 770733@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh it is lovely Rae - you have such great taste! What kind of fabric is it made of? Is it suitable for all seasons? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-770728 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 02:52:27 +0000 deb 770728@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think wht lapel will go out of style but I am not a specialist in such matters. The stripe is nice though. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-blazer-look-like-a-classic-timeless-piece#post-770704 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 02:10:24 +0000 Raisin 770704@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am LOVING this blazer, but for the price I really do not want something that will go out of style 1 or 2 years from now. I think stripes are timeless, but what do you think? I was hunting for a navy or black one, but this one is just too lovely! I do have a cheap black one that looks quite good, so I could hold off on the solid color, if this one is indeed classic. </p>
