I also love the moody effect of purple and black. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-challenge-challenging-jacket-needs-help#post-780298 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 01:03:04 +0000 unfrumped 780298@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I see the cool jewel aspect, but I wonder how it might look when contrasted with warmer but slightly lighter colors. Look how it looks against the backdrop of your furniture. So maybe purple and orange is kinda screamin', and purple &amp; gold is collegiate, but what about deep luggage tan or cognac family of colors. Could actually mix some items of that with gray to warm it up. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-challenge-challenging-jacket-needs-help#post-780291 Thu, 22 Nov 2012 00:02:13 +0000 Suz 780291@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ack!

Thanks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-challenge-challenging-jacket-needs-help#post-780263 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 23:02:09 +0000 K. Period. 780263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Do you wear navy or charcoal? This is right in my cool jewel sweet spot, and those are the two colors that I would wear with it. It's too cool to wear with any but the coolest browns. A patterned gray would look best, I think. (Very cute jacket, BTW!)</p> <p>ETA: What was I thinking forgetting green?!? Olive, pine or light green looks great with purple. And mustard too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-challenge-challenging-jacket-needs-help#post-780260 Wed, 21 Nov 2012 22:59:34 +0000 catgirl 780260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And look!

It fits well but the purple is totally throwing me off. Maybe because it's wool herringbone, I'm finding it hard to match it with any colors, even black. Any tips?</p> <p>This is the jacket:</p> <p><a href="http://www.jcrew.com/browse/single_product_detail.jsp?PRODUCT&lt;&gt;prd_id=845524441815260&#038;FOLDER&lt;&gt;folder_id=2534374302056769&#038;srcCode=AFFI00001&#038;siteId=J84DHJLQkR4-4b8JZ1wlgp99WsywZrxFdA&#038;siteId=j3wYAlndgaI-cbeg8ha%2AHTXsK54DJ4TNLg" rel="nofollow">http://www.jcrew.com/browse/si.....K54DJ4TNLg</a></p> <p>but mine is a deep grape-ish purple. It's a good color for me, just out of my zone for some reason! </p>
