It’s a lovely shape. I would wear it with the navy midi skirt and refined (but robust enough) footwear and a brooch. I love brooches and they are apparently on trend!<br /> The shoulders are not nearly so big as my vintage 1988 silk jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-my-new-jacket-for-easter-sunday#post-2409616 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 18:58:13 +0000 L'Abeille 2409616@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for all the votes of confidence in the unbelted jacket. When I bought it (wrinkled) I worried it looked too big and baggy but it seems to fit better now that it's been steamed.</p> <p>I'm going to try it with the polka dot skirt for some swoosh. And the pleats, just to compare.</p> <p>And I think I know which scarf I'll use. Lisa, thanks for sending me down the Celine rabbit hole. I may be back for advice on scarf draping techniques! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-my-new-jacket-for-easter-sunday#post-2409615 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 18:39:27 +0000 Cookie 2409615@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice score! I would love to see it with the polka dot skirt and a scarf. I sympathize with the impulse to belt it but I think the pockets make that not work so well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-my-new-jacket-for-easter-sunday#post-2409612 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:56:37 +0000 Star (Lise) 2409612@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think any navy midi skirt whether column or flared may work. I kind of like the belted with a skirt idea as it should give a 1940s vibe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-my-new-jacket-for-easter-sunday#post-2409610 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:42:52 +0000 Suz 2409610@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Lovely thrifting score! It's a great jacket. I like it without the belt, and I'd like to see a skirt with some swish or flounce. I'd try it with all 3 navy options first to see.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-my-new-jacket-for-easter-sunday#post-2409609 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:17:49 +0000 SarahD8 2409609@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful jacket -- great thrift score!</p> <p>I agree with others, I prefer it without the belt. And I like the idea of a skirt with some swish/flounce/movement to contrast with the clean lines of the jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-my-new-jacket-for-easter-sunday#post-2409608 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:10:24 +0000 Lisa 2409608@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the unbelted version to show off the shape of the jacket more. When I see belted jackets, I prefer them much longer, for this style I prefer unbelted.&nbsp;</p> <p>Pairing this jacket with a navy skirt for a column of navy outfit sounds lovely! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-my-new-jacket-for-easter-sunday#post-2409604 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:03:40 +0000 LJP 2409604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice jacket! &nbsp;I wouldn't' belt it. &nbsp;I'd add a scarf a la Celine's recent stylings of their fab colour blocked pieces, or a real statement brooch &nbsp;(not both). I'd wear a wide leg pant and loafers but only because I don't own nor wear skirts. You do you :)&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-my-new-jacket-for-easter-sunday#post-2409602 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 17:00:19 +0000 Carol 2409602@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this collarless, Chanel-style blazer more than a traditional blazer, always.&nbsp; And navy is such a great option for Easter. I wouldn't belt it because it is a pretty piece, but that is just me. I would pair it with a matching-color skirt and a light/bright scarf. Or the black and white sounds interesting, and then just harmonize it with a scarf that also has black or white. Brooches is also a great idea, particularly if seasonal.&nbsp;</p> <p>Regardless of weather, the knee-high boots sounds fashionable to me, as long as they are nice.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/help-me-style-my-new-jacket-for-easter-sunday#post-2409595 Fri, 03 Apr 2026 16:29:36 +0000 L'Abeille 2409595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hello all! I thrifted this navy silk Talbot's jacket last fall and getting ready for its first wear. (Needed some steaming first ) </p> <p>The extreme padded shoulders give me an 80s vibe. Should I belt it or no? </p> <p>And what to wear on the bottom? In navy, I have a knife pleated midi skirt, a gathered skirt on a basque, and a swishy polka dot skirt with inset gores. In black, I have everything: column and swishy skirts from knee to midaxi length, pleated maxi, and some black and white print knee length skirts.</p> <p>There's also my dressy kilt (navy green and white tartan) but that's had a lot of wear this winter already. And some white or navy&amp;white cotton skirts, but it's too early in the season for those.</p> <p>Options to garnish the top include brooch, scarf, visible underlayer at neckline. Footwear: I'm hoping the predicted rain/snow mix will allow for some sturdy but pretty shoes rather than boots; but I do have knee-highs.</p> <p>Where I'm stumped though is what silhouette and proportions to go for. </p> <p>Thanks in advance! </p>
