Fun! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1393018 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 16:58:28 +0000 Angela K 1393018@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the yay votes.<br /> bj1111. Exactly. If I could find the leather skinnies that fit I would love that look. </p> <p>Angie. Absolutely! I don't usually wear any jacket buttoned. I find it more comfortable and less "business" looking to leave them open. For the photo I just wanted to show the fit. </p> <p>So now off to play in the closet. Fun times! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1393010 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 16:47:06 +0000 Angie 1393010@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up. Probably looks more current <i>unbuttoned</i> though. Nice blazer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1393005 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 16:44:40 +0000 bj1111 1393005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it. Style with current items like a bf jeans or white jeans or leather(ette) leggings and a loose turtle or even plaid shirt! I wouldnt wear with chinos and a button down.</p> <p>Fab find. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1392904 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 13:40:42 +0000 unfrumped 1392904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Exactly! When to hold 'em, when to fold 'em.<br /> To me it could read nautical, which is a variant of military.<br /> Is it " gone" or say could it be styled with slim BF , thin fluid Breton top, booties? Is the past I think it might have been worn fitted over wider trousers. Is that coming back in or do the bottoms need to be much different as in track pants with heels. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1392829 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 04:33:43 +0000 Angela K 1392829@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped-Actually I prefer this cut on a blazer. It's fitted in the waist yet roomy through the shoulders and arms where I often feel the pinch.( I probably won't wear it buttoned when I wear it IRL, I just wanted to emphasize the cut and fit to determine its functionality.) however, I do like the fact that it fits my curves. When I saw the plaid jacket in Angie's ensemble post it made me think of the cut of this jacket since the plaid jacket seemed to be more form fitting with its equestrian feel. So that lead me to thinking, as someone who enjoys thrifting, about how to classify a find. When it has good workmanship and nice fabrication, I tend to want to make it work. But really where should the line be drawn for retro, classic, outdated and even (the kiss of death) "tired" pieces that should just be left hanging on the sale racks? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1392809 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 03:56:00 +0000 unfrumped 1392809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems more statement than classic due to multiple buttons and flap pockets. Doesn't look like things I'm seeing " out there" because it's form- fitting( though I expect the pendulum will swing. but that doesn't mean you can't combine it with more<br /> modern items. What is your goal ?<br /> Maybe there is some aspect of the newer soft belted looks that this could evoke since it has a lot of structure. How do you like it compared to modern jackets and toppers? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1392799 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 03:24:34 +0000 ElleH 1392799@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It seems classic to me. Let's see if Angie chimes in. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1392782 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 02:49:04 +0000 Mia 1392782@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. The fit looks good and it suits your figure.&nbsp; </p> <p>Double breasted jackets are showing up on Net-A-Porter by designers such as Balmain so I think your find may be a good one especially since the fabrication is nice quality. &nbsp;You can look on their site to see how they have styled these jackets in a modern way. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1392772 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 02:29:03 +0000 Angela K 1392772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Alaskagirl- I was thinking it was a little military especially if I button it. I was thinking of styling it with boyfriend jeans (either white or distressed) and a plaid shirt with ankle booties. But also slim ponte pants in black with a gray turtleneck and cognac knee boots. (Angie's post in wearing multiple neutrals inspired that idea). Any other styling suggestions? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1392769 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 02:22:01 +0000 catgirl 1392769@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This looks current to me!&nbsp;&nbsp;It seems more military than equestrian, but those overlap and both are excellent looks! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-classic-or-dated#post-1392766 Sat, 08 Nov 2014 02:13:08 +0000 Angela K 1392766@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's a quick pic of the jacket I asked about in the main ensemble post. It's a very well made tailored navy wool Evan Picone blazer that I thrifted a few years ago. It's still in perfect shape (a little rumpled now!) and I would love to get some wear out of it. The fit is very slim but not uncomfortable. I can move easily in it. The trouble is I'm not sure about the cut, shoulder padding etc. so any thought are appreciated! Please overlook the rest of my "outfit" i am truly in weekend relaxing before bed time mode! :)</p> <p>Thanks everyone! </p>
