The shoulders on this jacket are exaggerated - I have had this jacket on quite a few bodies. It fits really comfortably around the tummy area. Look at the shoulders on the model:</p> <p><a href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?cid=45420&#038;vid=1&#038;pid=462731" rel="nofollow">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....pid=462731</a></p> <p>A Smythe jacket is fab of course (I am encouraging it!), but it is not a substitute for a suit. </p> <p>Glad you made that app, Christy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652779 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 18:09:14 +0000 Anonymous 652779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I actually really like this on you, as is! The crops look a bit slouchy and not in a bad way. You totally rock them with those heels. And I would have never guessed you were an apple, BTW! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652553 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 06:33:17 +0000 CocoLion 652553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am surprised that I don't dislike the pants! It think because they are worn with the jacket of a same color, it is still a vertical and sophisticated look (rather than a squat one, which is my issue with crops). Both the jacket and pants look too big to me, I would like to see both more fitted and sleek looking. I am surprised they don't have a skirt option. It is such a pretty color and the cut looks refreshingly feminine.</p> <p>I too would love a Smythe jacket but I LOVE my BR jacket I got this past January, it is very well made and the fabric holds up and travels well. I think I could purchase two suits at BR for the price of one Smythe jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652549 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 06:13:42 +0000 Deborah 652549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely suit, however I do think the jacket is a bit big. Like the color, am unsure about the length. This is a very subtle peplum yes? Because I am having tousle discerning it.</p> <p>I echo others, wait for NAS:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652505 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 04:18:24 +0000 Scarlet 652505@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Honestly, the shoulders do seem a tad big to me. The shape is nice though. I love the idea of a Smythe jacket but I suppose they don't sell trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652491 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 03:45:33 +0000 Midwest Girl 652491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in this color of blue. If the jacket was more fitted, it would be perfect. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652477 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 03:15:10 +0000 christy 652477@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>annagybe, my dream is to someday own a Smythe jacket! :)</p> <p>cjh, they didn't have the smaller size in the store, so I was trying to judge by the fit of this one. It *just* buttons at the waist (I am an apple through and through!) so I don't think a smaller size would fit unfortunately.</p> <p>thanks KL! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652469 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 02:50:40 +0000 Keix 652469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the suit overall and the pant length doesn't bother me, but I also think that the shoulders look too big. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652432 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 02:03:54 +0000 cjh 652432@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Did you try on the smaller size? As your instinct tells you, the shoulders look big to me and like there is plenty of room in the waist, so you should at least try the smaller one on. The cut is really nice and flattering on you, though.</p> <p>I like the pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652425 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:52:37 +0000 annagybe 652425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Save your money for NAS. I got a sneak peek at the Via C stuff, there's a grey Smythe jacket that I'd think be good for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652416 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:46:53 +0000 christy 652416@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Anna, the suit would be for work. I'm in a fairly conservative work environment, but could get away with cropped pants in the summer. I'm thinking that my suit collection is not quite complete enough to justify a suit that can't be worn year-round right now. </p> <p>Thanks Victoria! *whispering* I'm okay with some of the longer crop pants also! :)</p> <p>Angie, I am surprised at how much I do like the jacket. Thanks for the encouragement to try it on! I have a call in to get my NAS appointment booked - was a little behind the 8 ball this year! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652370 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:09:11 +0000 Angie 652370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>*chuckle*</p> <p>As you predicted, the length and fit of the pants are not my best (hems are too wide and the length is off), but I LOVE the jacket! The colour is really flattering. </p> <p>Thanks for trying it :)</p> <p>NAS pre-selections start on the 11th July. Make sure you booked your app! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652369 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:06:08 +0000 Victoria 652369@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you. The shoulders on the jacket look just right to me. Unless you work in a very conservative enviroment, you could definately wear cropped pants. And do I dare say that I like the lengh on the cropped pants the way it is now;) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652364 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 01:01:56 +0000 Anna 652364@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What's your goal in buying a cropped pant suit? Is it for casual/social wear, or is it for work? If it's for work, is this something you could comfortably wear there? I know that a cropped pant suit would NOT fly in my work environment, but of course I could wear it anywhere else. Other than thinking about where you would use it, it's a flattering color and the fit looks fine from the photos... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/for-angie-br-peplum-suit#post-652358 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 00:57:20 +0000 christy 652358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In my search for a suit, Angie suggested I give this one a shot at Banana Republic. Disclaimer: the pants are at least two sizes too big - they didn't have my size in the store, but I can order them. The jacket is a size larger than I normally wear at BR - but I don't think I could button a size smaller. How do the shoulders look? </p> <p>I'm pretty sure the current pant length will give Angie apoplexy! </p> <p>I'm on the fence, so I'm interested in hearing what you ladies think. Sorry the pics aren't all that great - good dressing room photos are hard to do! </p>
