But it has to be practical. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106678 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 19:14:07 +0000 Jenni NZ 2106678@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks rather boxy and the sleeve length is awkward. I have had some 3/4 sleeved jackets in the past and found the same as Staysfit- too cold for winter, and looking a bit odd with long sleeves under. I DO have one current winter jacket like that which I just put up with the sleeve length because I love the jacket- my cropped navy merino Sabatini jacket which was only $25 on sale so for that price I decided to cope with the problem and have worn it 31 times.<br /> Outfit lab sounds a good idea. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106643 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 17:06:21 +0000 celia 2106643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I personally like it on you.Love Suz's idea of trying it with wide leg pants or cullotes. Not a very original but for a glam look I would wear it with a pencil skirt. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106642 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 17:06:03 +0000 always trying 2106642@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great and current with the belt.&nbsp; I guess it would depend on how much you think you would wear it and what else you have in your wardrobe to make it worth getting. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106595 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 14:02:27 +0000 nemosmom 2106595@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You could wear it as an indoor topper, under a warmer outer layer, if needed, but agree that an outfit lab is in order!&nbsp; I DO love the color on you, and I think the fit is fun and different from other pieces I have seen you wear.</p> <p>If you are on the fence even after trying it, I say let it go and focus on finding the coat you had on your wishlist earlier. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106578 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 12:03:24 +0000 notsaf 2106578@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I quite like it, as long as it's not too fussy for you! But if you're on the fence, that seems like a lot to spend on someone else's mistake (even a friend's). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106576 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 12:00:25 +0000 RobinF 2106576@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure about it. I think it depends on how you would wear it and how much effort you want to make. If you want it to be a quick throw-on-and-go then I'm not sure that works. It is a great color though and I personally like the bracelet sleeves, but it does seem like an awkward length overall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106572 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 11:16:27 +0000 Staysfit 2106572@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sal, items look different in 3D than in a picture....is there a reason Jon does not like the coat? &nbsp;It looks great on you in these pictures however he may see something that we do not. I understand the question around practicality. &nbsp;I recently culled a jacket with 3/4 sleeves because it makes no sense in our climate. &nbsp;My exposed arms felt too cold when the jacket was seasonally appropriate. &nbsp;It looked silly with long sleeved layers peeking out underneath. &nbsp;Long, color coordinated gloves improved its practicality, but not enough to justify a place in my wardrobe.<div></p> <p></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106570 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 10:34:27 +0000 Bijou 2106570@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it on you too. I do understand though when my DH does not like something on me, I never feel FAB in it and with a coat purchase I think you would want to feel fab. Maybe he will warm to it... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106558 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 07:41:40 +0000 Mirjana 2106558@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with Angie absolutely. And if you have long coat, why not have and one like this? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106549 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 05:25:20 +0000 rachylou 2106549@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I Love it!

(I will see if I can make the sleeves longer or shorter)</p> <p>Absolutely gallows humour is appropriate - I posted because sometimes distraction is a good thing....&nbsp; I will do an outfit creation session with my new work capsule.&nbsp; I will be a well dressed person working from home!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106526 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 03:18:30 +0000 Jaime 2106526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the cut but an outfit creation session is what the doctor ordered. (Gallows humour seems somehow appropriate.) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106509 Tue, 17 Mar 2020 01:37:38 +0000 Brooklyn 2106509@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the colour Sally and the belted style but I’m not sold on the sleeve length. Do you find that length practical? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106500 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 23:48:06 +0000 Sal 2106500@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Okay I will play dress ups:)&nbsp; Not today but later this week.&nbsp; Good idea.&nbsp;</p> <p>I think a few of us could do outfit labs. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106494 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 23:33:10 +0000 Suz 2106494@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Outfit creation for sure! I think it would be great with culottes or wide crops.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106492 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 23:17:51 +0000 Angie 2106492@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with <b>Nemosmom</b>, sweet <b>Sal</b>. I LOVE the way it looks on you. Tied and un-tied. Modern Retro. How do you feel in it? </p> <p>May I suggest a little outfit creation session to assess how it plays with the rest of your Autumn and Winter items. Does it match your tall cognac boots? Could be fab over wide-crops.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106491 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 23:11:37 +0000 Sal 2106491@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Joy and Carol.&nbsp; I am on the fence myself - my friend is a big online shopper and purchased this on final sale from Australia.&nbsp; She is a lot shorter and also has narrower shoulders so it is overwhelming on her.&nbsp; But would I have bought it myself - I am not sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106490 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 23:09:51 +0000 Sal 2106490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree the model has long arms - I am 5ft 8.5 so on the taller side with long arms myself.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106486 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 22:54:12 +0000 CarolS 2106486@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have loved you in every look I have seen in my short time on this forum. If I may say so without being unkind, I am not as sold on this one. It might be because to my eye it is a bit 'off' with the long, straight leg of the jean. I see that jacket with a column of navy or black, or cream underneath -- maybe a culotte or crop with a boot -- something a bit flowy -- because of&nbsp; how boxy the jacket is and where the jacket ends. One woman's opinion, though, so do take it with a grain of salt!!!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106485 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 22:52:01 +0000 Anonymous 2106485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it. You have the height to carry it off and the coat looks designer on you but I understand how a short winter coat could pose a problem. They are best for women who drive or are driven and don’t walk much in the weather. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106484 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 22:43:40 +0000 MsMaven 2106484@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it tied best. The sleeve length seems a bit awkward on you. In the model photo the sleeves look shorter, but she probably has really long arms. What do you think?</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106482 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 22:31:18 +0000 Sal 2106482@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but Jon doesn't particularly.&nbsp; It is a good weight for our climate but has some disadvantages as it is not long and yet not quite an indoor coat.....&nbsp; I would wear it indoors for some things though.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>But what I will need for our upcoming winter is a big unknown right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106475 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 21:21:16 +0000 nemosmom 2106475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the way it looks on you - how do you FEEL in it?? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-coat---keep-or-not#post-2106472 Mon, 16 Mar 2020 21:03:50 +0000 Sal 2106472@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This may or may not be a distraction in these times.</p> <p>A friend purchased this short coat online and it is overwhelming on her. She wondered if I would like it. </p> <p>It would cost me $70 - it is a really nice quality.</p> <p>I would like your input into yes or no. I would likely wear this mostly with jeans or trousers. The colour works with lots of my wardrobe.</p> <p>Thanks! </p>
