I have two leather jackets. One is heavier and looser for layering and outdoor and the other is slimmer, thinner but has this stretch material under the arms that lets me layer over thinner shirts. I really love and use both and with jeans, dresses, skirts, dressy pants, skinnies, etc etc. Mine are black but I would love to have one in every color (but then I do have a jacket obsession) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719740 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:39:19 +0000 Sylvie 719740@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Merwoman, the jacket is terrible. Just awful. Not a single one of those works.</p> <p>Just kidding! There isn't a dud in the lot. Wear and enjoy! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719735 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 02:35:27 +0000 KathyL 719735@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've been wondering how to wear my leather jacket from NAS, and this is so inspirational! I love it all the ways you've styled it. I doubt our winters will ever be could enough to pair with a puffer jacket though. I feel hot just seeing you in it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719709 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 01:42:24 +0000 Angie 719709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I LOVE this leather jacket with the jeans!! You wear cognac with the best of them </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719649 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:58:35 +0000 merwoman 719649@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My dear honey wondered what in heck I was doing with a winter coat on today! Thanks for your great feedback and very kind comments.<br /> And you are so right Shiny - come January I'll be wishing for a little heat.<br /> Suz - sad that it seems Danier doesn't have the right cut for you - but at least you are honing in what will work for you, and not accepting something that you have misgivings about. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719630 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:41:17 +0000 JR 719630@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You picked a winner. I see no problem with expecting a leather jacket to be worn mainly outside. Underneath the puffer would be great for the most frigid days.</p> <p>Next year it's my turn! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719621 Thu, 13 Sep 2012 00:33:27 +0000 Suz 719621@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks wonderful on you every which way and upside down! Truly - this is THE one for you!</p> <p>I think some of my problems have to do with fit. If I were to buy my Danier jacket large enough to layer over a heavy sweater, it would be frankly too big on me - too long sleeves, just too big overall. This is the issue for me. Sizing up doesn't work. It has to do with the cuts. The proportions basically only work on me in the very smallest size. </p> <p>Sigh....</p> <p>You, however, are going to wear this jacket into the ground, and it is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719529 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 23:22:38 +0000 rae 719529@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your versatility theory is sound - this jacket looks great in all the pics! I think the short-skirt-long-jacket look is very cool. Yay for all the fab layering options. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719503 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:53:40 +0000 Carole 719503@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it to death in all thoses variations! Good job! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719499 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:52:00 +0000 catgirl 719499@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, you've come up with several ideas already! I like all of these, and so impressed that you can wear it under your puffer. Sweet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719490 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:37:19 +0000 Gaylene 719490@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>VERY nice, especially with your jeans and trousers. That's my absolute favorite leather jacket look, especially in the fall and spring. The leather jacket with the dress is perfectly OK, but, to my eye, not quite as good as the first picture. But that's probably just my bias showing because I like the first look so much.</p> <p>And, I'm with you in thinking that you'll be wearing this jacket mostly as outerwear. Realistically, even though I sometimes try to rationalize a number of scenarios for wearing an item, in actual fact I usually end up wearing it in a favorite way over and over. And that's just fine; I even think Angie did a post on this a while back where she mentioned that not everything has to be versatile to be a workhorse. If it looks fabulous worn in a certain way, and that makes you want to grab it all the time, that is good enough to make it a smart buy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719476 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:26:25 +0000 Mochi 719476@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a gorgeous jacket, mw. You did a fantastic job in finding a beautiful workhorse that will elevate your wardrobe in so many ways. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719475 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:25:52 +0000 DonnaF 719475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like your jacket with your dress in #2! I think it works so well because your dress is just above your knees and not a midi. Lovely color on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719469 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:23:03 +0000 Anonymous 719469@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The tags are off? I *thought* I heard a gigantic rrrrrrrripping sound. YAY! Yes, it totally works in all of these scenarios. Bonus is that it doesn't show in the neckline of the puffer, so no one knows you have it on underneath. What a great color, and I love the way it looks with black. And you. And with stripes! Just yummy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719467 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:22:18 +0000 shiny 719467@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Talk to us in January about how you are melting. I love all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719466 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:21:01 +0000 deb 719466@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It looks great in all pics. And I think it will be very functionable. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719462 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:18:21 +0000 April 719462@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think it looks wrong in any of the ways you've shown. It seems substantial enough to be worn as outerwear, while not too substantial for the outfits in #1. Nice choice! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/just-how-versatile-is-a-leather-jacket#post-719455 Wed, 12 Sep 2012 22:13:41 +0000 merwoman 719455@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This post is inspired by Suz's leather musings and questions about how versatile a leather jacket might be..or not.<br /> My jacket (yes it is clearly mine since the tags are off is an outdoor jacket. It is lambskin with a cotton lining. I have a black leather jacket with a very thin quilted lining that I get a lot of wear through the fall and spring - and even the winter - it's a great car coat. I'm hoping my new jacket will be just as useful in this regard.<br /> Pic 1 - is how I plan to wear the jacket most of the time - with jeans and an assortment of trousers and skinnies.<br /> Pic 2 - Suz thought it might be too long for a dress...but I think it works. What are your thoughts? I don't own very many dresses (3) but it's nice to have the versatility.<br /> Pic 3 - Can I layer a sweater under the jacket? Absolutely. The dress is fairly thick material, and so is the sweater, (BR Cardigan) Plus the scarf. I'm almost melting - but it's doable.<br /> Pic 4 - Can the jacket be worn under a winter coat? Here I have put my puffer jacket over. Works fine - but now I really am melting.</p> <p>Overall thoughts - I think I'll wear this far more outdoors than I will as an indoor jacket - but I can see keeping it on unzipped inside. What are your thoughts ladies? </p>
