If money is not the concern - out.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-outdated#post-1077467 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 05:30:26 +0000 rae 1077467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am kind of with Unfrumped - it doesn't scream any time period to me and so does not feel dated IMHO. Of course if you hate the tabs, off with their heads, lol! You might also try it with some black leather or coated bottoms and see what happens. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-outdated#post-1077402 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 04:02:52 +0000 cciele 1077402@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Diane -- you know, I was never a fan of the tabs either. Maybe I can remove them!</p> <p>kellygirl, Thistle, Janet, Ceit, Glory&nbsp;-- votes for springtime! that&nbsp;I can do :)</p> <p>IK -- Good idea! I think I would like it more with narrower sleeves.</p> <p>upfrumped -- verrrrryy interesting viewpoint. Now you've totally got me thinking too. I'm not sure what I would compare this to either. Swing coats do go in and out of style, but what is it about this particular one that would identify it as outdated [rhetorical question]? I think it's about 5 or 6 years old, BTW.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-outdated#post-1077181 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 00:26:27 +0000 unfrumped 1077181@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>this is an interesting question and comparison to me.<br />The short swing coat seems an unusual piece and not one I see everyday on the street or even on mag pages. So I can look at the "new" and the "old" and see that they are different, but does that actually register in my brain as "dated" the way something that had been fading from common view would, or do I kind of force myself into a comparison and then go, oh, it should be more this or that?&nbsp; </p> <p>Would a fashonista be able to say, Oh, that is so 2010, while if I see it styled in a pleasing way, I think, oh,, interesting fun swing coat, yeah. Because I don't have any brain recognition pathways devoted to out-of-date swing coats. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-outdated#post-1077174 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 00:10:50 +0000 Glory 1077174@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would put it in the spring probation pile as well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-outdated#post-1077036 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 22:39:23 +0000 ironkurtin 1077036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the sleeves are skinnier in current models, can you take them in? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-outdated#post-1077031 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 22:35:54 +0000 Anonymous 1077031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang on and style it in the spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-outdated#post-1077029 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 22:31:44 +0000 Janet 1077029@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree with Kelly and Thistle -- hang on until<br /> spring. It doesn't look dated to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-outdated#post-1076962 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 21:07:18 +0000 Thistle 1076962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I would hang onto it until spring and try styling it then. See how it feels and if you will wear it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-outdated#post-1076872 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 19:50:32 +0000 kellygirl 1076872@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hang on til spring, for sure.

I'm no expert, but I'm not a fan of the tabs on the sleeves. The collar has the right vibe, but the Rachel Zoe version has much narrower sleeves too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/is-this-jacket-outdated#post-1076856 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 19:41:13 +0000 cciele 1076856@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've had this Hayden-Harnett Nora swing coat for awhile. It's made of linen, with leather trim. I had been contemplating getting rid of it, but then I noticed Angie blogged about a jacket today (in the <a rel="nofollow" href="http://http://youlookfab.com/2013/11/06/top-picks-nordstrom-half-yearly-sale-2/">Nordstrom Half-Annual picks post</a>) that reminded me of my HH jacket.</p> <p>So what do you think? Should I hang on to the Nora for spring?</p> <p>Photo 1: HH Nora<br />Photo 2: Rachel Zoe Keira </p>
