I don't see it as too young at all.<br /><br />Do you have any white pants you can try it with? I'm not sure that it's working with these jeans &amp; shoes - as always this is&nbsp;just my opinion:) https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-style-aha--help-interpret#post-919604 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:52:23 +0000 Lyn D. 919604@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I am always trying to avoid the 'double denim' thing &nbsp;with my denim jackets, so they don't get worn as often as my non-denim ones.<br />As a casual dresser, I like the effect of my non-denim jackets as an outfit 'pick-me-up' too.<br />Still a place for them in my closet, but the non-denim are the most worn and far outnumber the denim. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-style-aha--help-interpret#post-919584 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:18:55 +0000 kkards 919584@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe it's the cut of the denim jacket. I have an denim jacket from a years ago that's really boxy, and then 2 years ago I got a new one that's cut just a smidge longer and slightly shaped. Not enough that if you saw it alone you would really notice, but when I compared the 2 it was oblivious, The 2nd new one works better for the tailored me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-style-aha--help-interpret#post-919579 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 21:07:42 +0000 Suz 919579@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Maybe it is a style persona thing (perhaps it is too casual?)&nbsp;<br /><br />Or maybe it's just an intuitive sense that the proportions aren't the best. For me, jean jackets can be a bit boxy. I do like a cropped one with a dress or a skirt, but I don't like those jackets with pants.&nbsp;<br /><br />I have seen Rae and Diana and several of our younger members wearing a short jacket with a long top underneath -- in some cases a <b>SUPER</b> short jacket!! And it can look amazing on them. But on me, something feels off with that proportion.&nbsp;<br /><br />A long long time ago I had a thread where I played around with the proportions of various jackets in my closets. It was called Proportion play or something like that if you want to look it up. It included a couple of jean jackets. I showed with pants, a slim skirt, and a full skirt, for comparison. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-style-aha--help-interpret#post-919550 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 20:19:49 +0000 unfrumped 919550@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <i></i>sarah, that's interesting. It seems one always hears, just throw on a jean jacket and looks fab! And I am not finding it so. But maybe not so alone out there in the weeds.<i></i> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-style-aha--help-interpret#post-919546 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 20:14:17 +0000 sarah 919546@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ There was a thread not too long ago - I can't remember if Suz started it - where we all sort of realized that we don't always like the way we look in jean jackets. I find myself constantly searching for the "perfect" one, and never finding it. So, I do they are very hard to fit, whereas a nice blazer can instantly make an outfit feel like it's taken up a notch. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/jacket-style-aha--help-interpret#post-919539 Sat, 27 Apr 2013 20:00:55 +0000 unfrumped 919539@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I&nbsp; have posted some outfits wearing my new raspberry-fuchsia jean jacket, and outfits with various other jackets/blazers .&nbsp; I am enjoying it, and especially because the color&nbsp;is really good and goes with a lot of&nbsp;other items.<br />&nbsp;But, overall I find&nbsp;I like it better with a dress than with jeans or pants, and I like how I look in fitted blazers with jeans or pants better than the jean jacket, and maybe even&nbsp;for dresses too.<br /><br />I know I tend to like blazer or tailored jacket lapels better, and probably the longer length of my blazer jackets, even the shortish ones, and maybe the jean jackets tend toward boxy. <br /><br />But, is there a style persona&nbsp;clue there too? I feel more grown-up in my other jackets, and more veering toward too youngish or too SOMETHING &nbsp;with the jean jacket style.<br /><br />Any dream-interpreters out there, or had similar reactions to different jacket styles yourself?
