The proportion works really well on my body type.<br />I love the looser relaxed style, bought a looser black crepe blazer and wore it the other night out to dinner..<br />I wore it with a pencil skirt but I think it needed to be a more severely tapered skirt,. I did not feel all that fab even though I was very on trend. I kept wishing I had gone for a looser top and fitted jacket.<br />I am learning more about the "happiness" factor.<br />Oversized sweatshirts make me soo happy.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931568 Mon, 13 May 2013 23:24:11 +0000 Caro in Oz 931568@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I agree with the others I'm wearing mine over looser tops &amp; loving them. They give me the structure my top-half needs:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931526 Mon, 13 May 2013 22:19:34 +0000 Lyn D. 931526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I still love them!<br />Even looser styles are more flattering, I think, when they fit at the shoulders well. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931525 Mon, 13 May 2013 22:17:58 +0000 Angie 931525@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <b>HAHAHAHAHA!!!</b> Ariadne. We posted at the same time about the same thing. Cracks me up. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931523 Mon, 13 May 2013 22:16:58 +0000 Angie 931523@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ What Mo, Inge, Sarah, Suz and Ingunn said. Not out at all! See exhibits below - all taken in 2013 - some a few weeks ago.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931522 Mon, 13 May 2013 22:14:32 +0000 Ariadne 931522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I think they're still 100% stylish, even if they're not THE absolute cutting edge of ultra-trendiness. &nbsp;Heck, Angie wore one just the other day - with fitted dress, too!<br /><a rel="nofollow" href="http://youlookfab.com/2013/05/01/a-new-frock-gets-down-to-business/">http://youlookfab.com/2013/05/.....-business/</a><br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931487 Mon, 13 May 2013 21:10:09 +0000 unfrumped 931487@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Watching too. Here is where I hope we get and trade suggestions about how to re-work such items. With volume in the other items, with skirt lengths, with footwear, with the "it" color or something similar. For me these concepts are especially important when&nbsp;for items&nbsp;or types of fit that really work with one's shape, or style persona, and you're not really in the mood to toss those aside (maybe never). Next&nbsp; most useful would be what is the drift in style, or updating ideas, for that item if you were to purchase a replacement or duplicate--e.g., go just a bit looser, or longer, or refined, or more textured, more neutral or brighter--those sorts of things. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931466 Mon, 13 May 2013 20:21:37 +0000 Thistle 931466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I second the other ladies and Sarah. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931460 Mon, 13 May 2013 20:14:09 +0000 sarah 931460@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I <b>think</b> Angie would say that they can add structure to an otherwise unstructured outfit and balance out the volume. But hopefully she'll chime in. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931399 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:34:16 +0000 Inge 931399@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes to everything the other ladies have said, Jean:-)&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931389 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:28:25 +0000 Suz 931389@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I still like them, too, Jean. I agree that we might adjust other proportions in the outfit to make them look a bit more current. They seem to work pretty well with a looser pant quite a lot of the time, or, as Mo says, a looser top and tailored or slim pants.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931385 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:25:34 +0000 Ingunn 931385@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, I wear them too! I think a pairing with looser tops and/or bottoms keep them on trend just fine.&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931384 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:24:56 +0000 bj1111 931384@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I still wear them. I felt the same way as you do when i my newish noncropped nonfitted jacket were not the flavor of the day in 2010-11. Now, i've been wearing them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931382 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:23:47 +0000 Mo 931382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am wearing them over looser tops to rein in the volume a little. &nbsp;Works for me! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/fitted-jackets-are-they-out#post-931379 Mon, 13 May 2013 18:23:01 +0000 greenglove 931379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Hello all,<br />I have been reading what has been said about looser clothing being more on trend lately, however I still own many cropped&nbsp; fitted (cheeky) jackets that I do not want to stop wearing or get rid of, some were bought just last summer.<br />I remember when here on this forum most of us favored a smaller size jacket and now it is suggested to size up.<br />I realize that I can still wear jackets that I like and will, but wondered how others feel about relatively new clothes that may be out.<br />Although I do still see fitted and cropped jackets in the stores and online, maybe I am mistaken that they are out.<br />
