But it's a lovely jacket and it's perfect on you!

I haven't read the other comments, but I wore a black boyfriend and distressed denim today...No one told me I looked like a dork:) shell on "Does this work as a BF jacket?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-as-a-bf-jacket#post-216735 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 23:39:33 +0000 shell 216735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I'm a little late to the thread, but I wanted to echo the others by saying that you look great in this blazer!

I have notice they have allot of jackets more fitted this year called the girlfriend jacket (at least that is what the lady at Gap told me). I am glad you are going to keep the jacket I think you will wear it allot. kellygirl on "Does this work as a BF jacket?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-as-a-bf-jacket#post-216715 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 20:48:55 +0000 kellygirl 216715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks sooo much! You've convinced me. My first structured jacket in 15+ years will get pulled out of the bag and make a permanent home in my closet : ) You all made a great point about it not dating as quickly as a BF jacket. That makes it better for me in the long term. Tara, you started this all. I hope you realize this. It was your thread that convinced me I needed something to pull my casual outfits together. Thanks! Heck, it's machine washable, I'll definitely wear it to the grocery store! Jonesy, I love your "holy grail" comment. I usually don't even consider anything that's not machine washable. That's always the clincher for me!

The fit is perfection it it is so right with jeans and a tee. A graphic tee would also look good under it. The jacket reminds me a bit of Angie's tuxedo jacket with the wide lapels. biscuitsmom on "Does this work as a BF jacket?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-as-a-bf-jacket#post-216696 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 20:01:15 +0000 biscuitsmom 216696@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, I would definitely keep...it has a classic style, not as likely to date as a boyfriend style will and it looks fabulous on you! Jonesy on "Does this work as a BF jacket?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-as-a-bf-jacket#post-216685 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:12:14 +0000 Jonesy 216685@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yowsa, this jacket looks fantastic on you! I actually think it's better than a BF jacket, because it won't go out of style as quickly, fits you really well/accentuates your fab bod (vs. a BF jacket, which is sort of shapeless typically), and can be dressed down with jeans and a t-shirt and up (with just about anything!). And it's stretchy AND machine washable?? It's like the holy grail of jackets.

It's not BF jacket per se but if you roll or scrunch the sleeves up it will give it that vibe x Isabel on "Does this work as a BF jacket?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-as-a-bf-jacket#post-216674 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:00:22 +0000 Isabel 216674@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am soooo with Queen Mum on this one !! I don't know what style jacket it is, but it is a fabulous Kelly jacket. Period. tarzy on "Does this work as a BF jacket?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-as-a-bf-jacket#post-216673 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 19:00:12 +0000 tarzy 216673@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree! It looks great on you. It's the kind of jacket that elevates jeans & a tee. I don't think it's a BF, but so what - I really think you should keep it! Do you feel like you'll wear it often? Running out to the grocery store? To the mall? I think you'd get a lot of use out of it! Queen Mum on "Does this work as a BF jacket?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-as-a-bf-jacket#post-216667 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 18:48:03 +0000 Queen Mum 216667@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ save that jacket from the return bag this instant! it's fabulous.

Just scrunch up the sleeves up to your elbow and you're in business. kellygirl on "Does this work as a BF jacket?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-as-a-bf-jacket#post-216660 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 18:38:47 +0000 kellygirl 216660@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Thanks, Kim. Honestly, I have no clue about structured jackets. I love them on other people but can never seem to find one. I guess I can take it back out of the bag now. I was planning on returning it tomorrow. Sally, you're absolutely right. I've had it in my head that I wanted a BF style jacket that I could wear over a simple tee. I guess really this is just a jacket. As long as it works over a tee I guess I'll keep it. thanks! Sally on "Does this work as a BF jacket?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-as-a-bf-jacket#post-216658 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 18:35:13 +0000 Sally 216658@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think the jacket looks fabulous with jeans and the t-shirt. Its a great look. I always thought a boyfriend jacket was looser like you'd borrowed it from your boyfriend. but that jacket looks great with jeans.

I love it with the jeans and white tee.... perfect MOTG outfit. kellygirl on "Does this work as a BF jacket?" https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/does-this-work-as-a-bf-jacket#post-216651 Wed, 15 Sep 2010 18:27:07 +0000 kellygirl 216651@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I was at the Rack and happened upon this jacket. The tags are still on--in fact they are digging into my neck as I type. I don't wear structured jackets because I can never find any that fit without major alterations. This jacket is by ECI. It has ruching at the wrist (not sure if this is good or bad) and is made out of some kind of machine washable stretchy blend (lined, too.). It fits like a glove but now I'm wondering if it is actually a BF jacket or a suit jacket. Does it work as a casual jacket or am I going to look like a dork wearing it with jeans? Buttoned, opened, back.
