It is really a very cool statement piece. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645877 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 22:22:54 +0000 krishnidoux 1645877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks very cute but may simply not correspond to your individual style! &nbsp;</p> <p>&nbsp;So yes, donate, without hesitation... or re-sell on e-bay.&nbsp;</p> <p>Also, one more problem I see with it is how &nbsp;it is so short in the back. This might pose a problem for various outfits, as it means you either have to have a dress, of a very high waist, or a very fitting top in the same color as your bottom, otherwise you get that reverse crescent in the back.<br />&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645837 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 21:02:38 +0000 catgirl 1645837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep it! It will go with anything but you can toss it on after you're dressed to get some ideas of how you like it best. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645828 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 20:47:30 +0000 Ledonna N. 1645828@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It needs to be styled the right way. Maybe think about a skirt or widely jeans or harem pants. I thin the type of top you have on cuts at a weird place with this jacket. Go for someting simpler less volume. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645823 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 20:41:38 +0000 Suz 1645823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it looks fabulous on you! I hope you will keep it and enjoy. Show us some stylings!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645762 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 18:52:40 +0000 Chris987 1645762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think the jacket is gorgeous. I would vote for pants with no cuff, and perhaps a bit longer, and heels. But it looks pretty good the way you have already styled it. I especially like all your color choices.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645757 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 18:48:11 +0000 harmonica 1645757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Mochi: </b>I think it actually was the cropped back that really got me. Especially since I have a short waist. And the detailed front was forgiving on my apple figure. ;-)</p> <p><b>Angie: </b>I know the shoulders should be like this, I was just not so sure it looked good on me. Now I don't need to worry about it. :-)</p> <p>I'll post some stylings later to see if I can come up with a few outfits that I can rely on with this jacket.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645676 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 14:57:35 +0000 harmonica 1645676@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all! Well, now I know the fit is fine. I just need to come up with some streamlined stylings. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645657 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 14:22:26 +0000 Angie 1645657@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great. Keep. (The shoulders are deliberately sharp, btw).&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645643 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 13:17:11 +0000 El Cee 1645643@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this jacket on you. I agree with you and Janet that it would look especially fabulous over a column of color -- making the jacket the star of the show.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645641 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 13:14:44 +0000 Mochi 1645641@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Something must have attracted you to this jacket besides the discount. It fits great and it's a really compelling statement piece. I really hope you hang on to it and figure a way to wear it more enjoyably and frequently.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645637 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 13:03:09 +0000 Joyce B 1645637@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket on you! Keep it but wear it, otherwise give it to me if it's my size </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645631 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 12:29:23 +0000 Janet 1645631@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I always want to see detailed jackets like this over a streamlined, simple column of color or a solid color dress. They're not the easiest to work with, but it does look like a nice fit on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645629 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 12:25:14 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1645629@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It might be better over narrower pants with no cuff, and worn with a heel </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/keep-or-donate-helmut-lang-jacket#post-1645628 Sun, 17 Apr 2016 12:20:12 +0000 harmonica 1645628@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I've always wanted a Helmut Lang jacket. I found one a few years ago that was on deep discount. I bought it.... and it's been hanging in my closet ever since. I've only worn it once or twice.</p> <p>I don't know if the front is too busy or the shoulders are too wide or the front is too long.</p> <p>I think it would look best with a really simple and minimalist column of colour as background. But I'm not sure. I've never fel confident in it and maybe I should just donate it.</p> <p>What are your thoughts on this jacket? </p>
