You could always throw on the denim for dinner after work or on the weekend. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621430 Wed, 16 May 2012 19:38:49 +0000 Inge 621430@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh go try both jackets on, Rae! I've seen the ecru one irl and it is beautiful. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621424 Wed, 16 May 2012 19:29:19 +0000 rae 621424@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Inge, I love the ecru Zara one!

ChristieAnne has a point though about it maybe not feeling Summer-y enough.</p> <p>Here are a few more, only of them is a lighter blue, but perhaps the styles and fabrics can spark some more ideas.</p> <p><a href="http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/urban/catalog/productdetail.jsp?id=24159394&#038;cm_mmc=Performics-_-Affiliates-_-ShopStyle.com-_-Primary&#038;clickid=0004c02bb03f0dbf0ae367427afb11dc" rel="nofollow">http://www.urbanoutfitters.com.....427afb11dc</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.ralphlauren.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12440318&#038;utm_medium=feeds&#038;utm_source=Shopping.com" rel="nofollow">http://www.ralphlauren.com/pro.....opping.com</a><br /> This *is* denim, but it doesn't look very denim-y on my screen</p> <p><a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?br=F21&#038;Category=Outerwear&#038;ProductID=2011409007&#038;VariantID=&#038;utm_source=affiliatetraction&#038;utm_medium=cj&#038;utm_campaign=affiliate" rel="nofollow">http://www.forever21.com/Produ.....=affiliate</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.forever21.com/Product/Product.aspx?br=F21&#038;Category=Outerwear&#038;ProductID=2083316841&#038;VariantID=&#038;utm_source=affiliatetraction&#038;utm_medium=cj&#038;utm_campaign=affiliate" rel="nofollow">http://www.forever21.com/Produ.....=affiliate</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.whitehouseblackmarket.com/store/browse/product.jsp?maxRec=169&#038;pageId=4&#038;productId=570047173&#038;viewAll=&#038;prd=LinenBlend+Moto+Jacket&#038;subCatId=&#038;color=&#038;fromSearch=&#038;inSeam=&#038;posId=3&#038;catId=cat210006&#038;cat=New+Arrivals&#038;onSale=&#038;colorFamily=&#038;maxPg=11&#038;size=&#038;LkshrPID=J84DHJLQkR4&#038;LkshrCID=1&#038;CMP=AFC-LS_Affiliates" rel="nofollow">http://www.whitehouseblackmark.....Affiliates</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-S2012/189502/748510/FANTASY%2BFABRIC%2BBLAZER" rel="nofollow">http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs.....C%2BBLAZER</a></p> <p><a href="http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product/us/en/zara-us-S2012/189515/631865/QUILTED%2BJACKET" rel="nofollow">http://www.zara.com/webapp/wcs.....D%2BJACKET</a><br /> (in ecru)</p> <p><a href="http://www.yoox.com/item/YOOX/KEJO/dept/women/tskay/3FD17CD7/rr/1/cod10/41274977DK/sts/sr_women80" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoox.com/item/YOOX/.....sr_women80</a><br /> (love this one)</p> <p><a href="http://www.yoox.com/item/YOOX/SWILDENS/dept/women/tskay/3FD17CD7/rr/1/cod10/41287773NK/sts/sr_women80" rel="nofollow">http://www.yoox.com/item/YOOX/.....sr_women80</a> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621406 Wed, 16 May 2012 19:00:48 +0000 christieanne 621406@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think #1 is quite tailored enough for you - too loose. The leather in #2 is fabulous but could you sport it during summer?<br /> What about a cropped schoolboy blazer? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621399 Wed, 16 May 2012 18:49:23 +0000 Anonymous 621399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The first one might work. Are you ok with the quasi tuxedo style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621394 Wed, 16 May 2012 18:42:43 +0000 rae 621394@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Added a couple of pics I found during my cyber travels. "So good" or "no good"? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621341 Wed, 16 May 2012 17:46:39 +0000 rae 621341@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hm, seersucker might work, Zap! Actually, any soft color might work now that I think of it, as long as it is fitted, structured, and not too long. Thanks!</p> <p>Jonesy, yeah, if I could wear a denim jacket at all I'd be set. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621300 Wed, 16 May 2012 17:20:41 +0000 Jonesy 621300@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I saw a light blue thin denim cropped moto jacket at UO, but I'm thinking if you can't wear a traditional denim jacket to work then a moto might be out too :)? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621285 Wed, 16 May 2012 17:11:43 +0000 Anonymous 621285@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Check H&amp;M and BR. They had a few light blue ( seersucker) blazers. That could work as an alternative:<br /> Like this one:<br /> <a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=45420&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=905279" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....pid=905279</a><br /> Forever 21 had a much more cropped one, but I did not like the quality. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621280 Wed, 16 May 2012 17:07:38 +0000 rae 621280@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfortunately, I don't think that would fly here. I have not seen any denim jackets, even on denim day. I also have a preference for the higher contrast. :T </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621273 Wed, 16 May 2012 17:01:19 +0000 Angie 621273@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>How about dark denim. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/faded-denim-jacket-alternatives#post-621272 Wed, 16 May 2012 17:00:08 +0000 rae 621272@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie's post today got me thinking that I really want to try and copy her flared skirt look, but my faded denim jacket is much too casual for the office. I successfully used my banker blue BB shirt as a denim shirt alternative, so have any of you seen a super fitted, cropped, light blue jacket that might be business friendly?</p> <p>ETA:<br /> Would either of these work? Or is 1 too loose and 2 too dark? </p>
