I’m not even sure the mirror photo captures the true proportions. That being said, I think I will need to pay attention to the length and width of pants and skirts I wear with it — more than cropped jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jacket-too-long#post-2256122 Wed, 23 Mar 2022 01:35:51 +0000 Zaeobi 2256122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I recently bought a blazer like this in both regular &amp; petite, but ended up keeping the regular length because I liked the fact that it covered my hips completely (am a bottom heavy, 5ft3" hourglass-pear). But now long jackets are trendy, I'm ahead of the curve lol! </p> <p>In other words, it's up to you whether you &amp; your body type are comfortable with longer - it doesn't seem to visually overwhelm you though, if that's your concern. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jacket-too-long#post-2255929 Tue, 22 Mar 2022 00:04:50 +0000 DonnaF 2255929@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for taking the time to weigh in, Kellygirl, Runcarla, Ophelia, Jaime, Jenni NZ, Mirjana, Suntiger, Robin F, Style Fan, Suz, and anyone else I may have inadvertently left out. Guess I should cut the tags and decide if I am going to tack up the sleeves or have Nordstrom do it for me. I've had Nordstrom mess up a couple of times, both fixable, but still annoying.</p> <p>@suntiger: I really should do a week or two or three of black'n'white outfits. . .</p> <p>Well, I've learned that a super inexpensive jacket can look just as good as a very inexpensive one that costs double. And that unlined polyester blazers work in my climate.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jacket-too-long#post-2255881 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 18:21:18 +0000 Suz 2255881@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>OMG, <b>LOVE</b> it!!

I've worn the blazer all day (with tags on!) and it's very comfy. In the past, I've failed to wear my blazers because "they're too good" so I'd *save* them. This one is machine washable and very casual so I can see myself actually wearing it.</p> <p>Thanks for noticing my new Docs! They are almost broken in and have graduated to all day shoes. I still don't feel comfortable in all white shoes even if they have black soles; will have to wait a few more years after I've lost almost all my black hair.</p> <p>The belt only comes in one size. In the past, I've tried various ways of wrapping it but then realized that it created an annoyance post bathroom. Any ideas to solve the length problem? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jacket-too-long#post-2255777 Mon, 21 Mar 2022 00:29:41 +0000 kellygirl 2255777@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Adore this!!

Love the crisp graphicness of it all! I hear you about the length, but from what I can see &nbsp;shoulders look good, and by rolling the sleeves you’ve mitigated that issue. I say keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jacket-too-long#post-2255742 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 20:46:13 +0000 rachylou 2255742@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!

With the sleeves shorter like you show them it does not look too long to me. Great outfit and amazing shoes, too! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jacket-too-long#post-2255730 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 18:55:23 +0000 chewyspaghetti 2255730@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like this on you. I vote keep. I like the way you have it styled here, and I think you can funk it up with the support act. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jacket-too-long#post-2255729 Sun, 20 Mar 2022 18:52:13 +0000 DonnaF 2255729@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>This is a regular size, not a Petite. Ideally, I would prefer the length to be maybe an inch shorter, but altering would throw the pocket flaps off. The sleeves are too long so I have them tucked up. Altering would be easy since there’s no buttons.</p> <p>What do you think? This is a little preppier than my style, but it’s an unlined stretchy poly knit and only $65 so more casual than one might think at first glance. K? R? </p>
