I like the look of #1 better, but as I went through all of the toppers I have recently parted with, they all had one thing in common: No stretch.</p> <p>By the end of the day, sitting in an office environment, if the jacket has no "give" I am uncomfortable. Which means I won't reach for it. Which means I end up donating it.</p> <p>I would love to find one just like it that has just a hint of give.&nbsp; It is on my wishlist now&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos/page/2#post-1172551 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 15:40:37 +0000 unfrumped 1172551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OK Thistle, I am dying to know what you are thinking now.</p> <p>I do think one of the best ideas is that if you don't think #1 feels good, you tuck that "look" away in your shopping list as an aspirational top or topper, and one day you may find the right combination.</p> <p>One thing YLF and "10" and so on have helped me with is recognizing that if something is <u>almost </u>right I just need to note what I like about it--color, trims, fit--and don't fret about it. Otherwise I used to buy things in flattering colors that didn't quite fit, or fits I loved but colors or prints that became orphans, or something that just didn't feel great to slide on and so I didn't wear it. You have been honing your instincts and you are good at that. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos/page/2#post-1172439 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 14:26:02 +0000 texstyle 1172439@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough choice here Thistle - wow, you look great in both of these so I'm very happy you're going with a moto.</p> <p>&nbsp;I think comfort or how an item feels&nbsp;is SO important, so I have to go with the solid one. I will say that the color and style&nbsp;of the first one is also extremely flattering on you so maybe you can keep that in mind and look for other tops (not necessarily toppers) that echo that color/style.</p> <p>I am loving my navy moto so much that I've&nbsp;added an oatmeal knit moto jacket for spring and have ordered the two gap blue to try as well.&nbsp; For me these light jackets are warm enough for much of the year.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos/page/2#post-1172227 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 04:38:24 +0000 Sveta 1172227@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For looks I prefer #1 but comfort is very important.<br />You cannot go wrong with any of them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos/page/2#post-1172222 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 04:35:13 +0000 Deborah 1172222@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow, Thistle these both look lovely on you.&nbsp; I am partial to #1 as there is something about the lighter colour on you that I find very flattering but #2 looks brilliant as well.&nbsp; Keep which ever you feel is most comfortable... or keep both </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos/page/2#post-1172113 Thu, 20 Feb 2014 02:44:31 +0000 shoppingisfun 1172113@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm posting before I read the other replies so I don't give you biased info 2nd jacket looks too small when fully zipped. It looks like it is pulling against your armpit area. 1st looks like a much better fit. What will you be wearing it with? I like the fit of the first and the color of the second. Darker gray looks better with your skintone, at least in the pics, but once again it depends on what you pair with it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1172013 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 23:56:41 +0000 Nicole D 1172013@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough one, I love the colour in #1, but if you aren't going to reach for it as much because of comfort, go for #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1172012 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 23:48:26 +0000 alee 1172012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If you want to look dressy and sleek then #2. I would wear #1. &nbsp;It looks more fun and flirty. &nbsp;It also works better with your skin tone, plus I adore it with the dark denim. &nbsp;Throw in a pair of booties and walk with attitude </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171585 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 17:04:37 +0000 CocoLion 1171585@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both on you! &nbsp;The second one has the perfect sleeve length, sleeves are a little long on the first jacket. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171564 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:52:23 +0000 Hil 1171564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like the look of #2 but that's because it's the one I would wear. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171535 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:30:09 +0000 Helena 1171535@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up for both from me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171515 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 16:14:56 +0000 AviaMariah 1171515@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I understand the urge/pressure to get something different and a bit out of your comfort zone but I have to say that I much prefer #2. &nbsp;It looks like it fits you much better. &nbsp;For some reason the piping on #1 almost makes it look like it's too big in the shoulders. &nbsp;(??) &nbsp;I think you'll get a lot of use out of it, especially if it's comfy. &nbsp;I don't see any collar wonky-ness in the photos. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171453 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 15:16:59 +0000 Angie 1171453@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are killer.&nbsp;</p> <p>I prefer the look of #1 - crisper and more chic -&nbsp;&nbsp;but am going to suggest you get #2 because it's more comfy. That will make you wear it more often when you pick up DD. Well done. xo </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171425 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:43:56 +0000 Emily 1171425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loooove #1 on you. &nbsp;I think the fit is flattering, the colour/texture is gorgeous on you, and the black tipping makes it graphic and interesting. &nbsp;I liked it before and I like it even better open over a column of black. &nbsp;It looks like modern, edgy Chanel. &nbsp;</p> <p>(...but of course disregard if it is not comfortable) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171423 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:41:51 +0000 Kimberley 1171423@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sorry, I haven't read all the replies, but my first instinct is to say #2 - it fits well and has a sleeker look overall.&nbsp; Having said that, I am still liking #1 for it's texture and colouring.&nbsp; Sorry - that's no help at all! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171408 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 14:31:09 +0000 Sara L. 1171408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the first one, but they both look nice on you. &nbsp;I think the blue is a good color on you and it would go with all your neutral colored pants. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171370 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:49:48 +0000 Anonymous 1171370@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough one! I like the colour and tipping of 1 better, but for my personal taste, I think 2 is super!</p> <p>Which one would you reach for more? If 1 always feels too constricting, then I think you will always leave it hanging in the closet. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171368 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:49:41 +0000 leopardluxe 1171368@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both on you. They're very flattering.&nbsp;Sorry that's not much of a help. Do you wear mostly dark trousers? If so, I'd keep #1 because I think it will go nicely with dark slacks and the contrast trim on it gives it more of a polished look (dress it up or down). #2 I think would look best more casually, like with dark jeans. Although it looks like the collar on that one needs to be steamed and shaped to get it to lay as it should (based on the model photos you provided). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171359 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:34:34 +0000 pil 1171359@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tough choice because they have such different visual feels. My eye is drawn to #1 because of the lighter color and detailing. The comfort of #2 would be a huge plus, and I see 'you' more with this one because it feels more subdued. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171348 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:10:41 +0000 Suz 1171348@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you'll get more wear from and enjoy #2 more, but my heart is with the light colour and tipping of #1. As Viva said, that might be more a reflection of my mood than reality! I would definitely keep #2 in any case.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171344 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 13:02:40 +0000 viva 1171344@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thistle, I like both of these jackets on you very much. I really like the structure they add to your shape, and the modern vibe they give you. The first jacket does have a very fresh springtime look about it, which I am somewhat taken with. It feels like it would be a fun thing to reach for and play with in the spring (but that may be a reflection of where I am emotionally right now, so sick of winter!). But the sleekness of jacket 2 works also, and taking in the comfort factor, which is so important, I would have to vote ultimately for that one. BTW, I think the wonky collar is a moto jacket peculiarity. So not a problem with the jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171315 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:34:20 +0000 carolbee 1171315@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmm, "bugger" as we say in Oz. What a choice!. I prefer #1 on you, just seems much sharper all round, but #2 is also fine and if its more comfy....</p> <p>Or keep looking... Not much help I know. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171293 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 12:00:12 +0000 lyn67 1171293@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely like nr 1-2-3(so, the jacket nr 6)! Good fit and very flatering, and is like a showstopper with that piping on the collar and down to hem!&nbsp; It's making an impact of&nbsp;a good confidency! Plus, wearing a lighter colored jacket allows you to wear a column of dark color underneath, wich is&nbsp;itself &nbsp;very flattering and practical IMHO. Darker jacket from 4-5,7 will have to be paired with lighter outfits, to make a bit of contrast, depends on what you aim for. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171153 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 04:46:38 +0000 Anonymous 1171153@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think they're both really cute and&nbsp;look great on you, but would choose #2 if you only keep one. The gray is sleeker and looks more like it could go with a bunch of different colors and types of clothing, while #1 seems more like a centerpiece item to dress around. Then there's the comfort difference…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171148 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 04:41:31 +0000 Gigi 1171148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I much prefer #2. I think that #1 doesn't fit you as well; it looks like there is extra fabric under the armpits. #2 creates a "sleeker" look, imho. It also appears to me (though I'm not sure if it's optical illusion) that #2 is a bit shorter than #1, which makes the proportions a bit better (#1 seems to cut you in half). Maybe it's not shorter but just appears that way because it is cut more straight across at the bottom than the other one?</p> <p>On the second one, I see that the model has hers unzipped quite a bit more than you do. What would happen if you unzipped it more, about halfway down? Or maybe just an inch more? There are placements called "balance points" on your torso that can help things be in good proportion, and one of them is calculated by taking the length of your head and then moving that same&nbsp;distance down your torso, starting at the bottom of your chin. And that is the point where you would have the moto opening start (although if your cami lies above this spot, you might not get the full effect). If you look at the stock photos, you will see that the place where the "V" of the moto neck starts is about one head length from the model's chin.</p> <p>I hope I'm explaining this right. I have a sinus infection and am a little wonky. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171142 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 04:32:54 +0000 MuseumGal 1171142@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I liket hem both. #1 is better with your coloring, but the black one is just so ... sleek.&nbsp; Who is the maker?&nbsp; I might have to try one ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr---motos#post-1171139 Wed, 19 Feb 2014 04:29:57 +0000 carambola 1171139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmm.

I just don't care for it on me, so patterns are out. I don't own any patterned trousers, but I do skirts.</p> <p>As for trousers, I really need a topper that goes with dark bottoms. I prefer ink, black and grey trousers. I have a pair of cream and white ones as well, but they see little wear with all the slush and mess, especially in the spring.</p> <p>I have no colored bottoms. Nothing red, cobalt etc. I have Black, ink, and grey in a variety of silhouettes with a couple of white bottoms. </p>
