I would wear that orange jacket in a heartbeat -- LOVE.&nbsp; The red jacket is also wonderful. I don't find that length unflattering at all -- I find it rather classic -- but I never was fully comfortable with short blazers, so.. Anyway, I think it look great on you.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2/page/2#post-2207214 Sat, 03 Jul 2021 11:52:38 +0000 Katerina 2207214@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bonnie, Catherine and Mainelady, thank you. I think both will be keepers.</p> <p>Angie, thank you very much! I will definitely try the tonal look - sounds like a fun outfit. And of course the darker colors. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2/page/2#post-2206994 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 16:27:34 +0000 Angie 2206994@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Katerina</b>, any shade of red will create a lower contrast. You can pull the tonal look together with one of your fab scarves!</p> <p>Also, any dark colour will create a lower contrast with the red - like black, charcoal, dark denim, navy, chocolate, eggplant.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2/page/2#post-2206971 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 14:58:45 +0000 Mainelady 2206971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep both! The colors are stunning on you! Yes, shorten the sleeves a bit on the orange. I don’t see any challenges with the length of the red blazer. The focal point is not on the length. I think it looks fabulous and also think that you will not have any problem styling it.&nbsp;<div>&nbsp;Please post follow up photos!</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2/page/2#post-2206968 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 14:52:34 +0000 catherine 2206968@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yes, I think both look great on you. Keep! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2/page/2#post-2206967 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 14:52:32 +0000 Bonnie 2206967@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are great. KEEP! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2/page/2#post-2206965 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 14:48:41 +0000 Katerina 2206965@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Janet and RobinF, thanks for chiming in.</p> <p>Janet, actually I didn’t think I had that issue before, because my area of concern has been the midsection for years. I remember I had a bit of a hard time years ago when I had to surrender my waist… So I always assess everything I wear from that perspective. But regarding this blazer, someone pointed out the length and I started wondering… </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206911 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 12:01:37 +0000 RobinF 2206911@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love both of these on you. Love the orange color and the style of it and I don't see a problem with the red at all. Can't wait to see it styled but I think it looks really great on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206910 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 11:57:45 +0000 Janet 2206910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>They both look fantastic on you. I see no issues with the length of the second one — I would avoid it myself because that hem would hit my widest point, but you don’t have that issue! I think it suits you very well. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206907 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 11:50:43 +0000 Irina 2206907@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Escada? Keep it with both hands! Wear with blue jeans - my default approach. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206903 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 11:46:15 +0000 Anonymous 2206903@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep both for sure!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206900 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 11:27:53 +0000 Katerina 2206900@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>FI - what a good idea to look at Carla’s fabulous color combinations! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206899 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 11:27:07 +0000 Katerina 2206899@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you guys for chiming in. So appreciate your help!</p> <p>Anchie, the orange jacket is from Cinque. Material is viscose, kind of a neopren look. The deep red is Escada. Both outlet finds </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206884 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 10:26:54 +0000 Stagiaire Fash 2206884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great colors on you, particularly the orange. Funny that this is just what you happened to have on, because I feel like the blue/white is good with them both too. Side effect of a well-functioning wardrobe I guess.<br /> I’m going to be a spanner and say that it doesn’t sound like you would wear the red jacket much, because it is very similar to things you have a lot of, but the added length makes it a little “less” in your eyes. Looking forward to what you decide after styling it. As to the right low contrast bottoms to wear with it, did you see Runcarla’s finale to the 10x3? Top and bottom are reversed, but I do think her skirt is a similar color. She’s great with colors anyway, so maybe the other things she wore with that skirt could give you good ideas too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206878 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 10:02:02 +0000 anchie 2206878@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like them both, and hope you keep them. What brand are they?<br /> I think you will have no problem with styling the red blazer. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206877 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 09:49:18 +0000 Column 2206877@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What Firecracker said. The red blazer is my favorite—holds its own shape. With your long legs, you can take the blazer’s horizontal finish. No hip widening to my eye, even with high contrast trousers. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206868 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 08:48:07 +0000 Katerina 2206868@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, forgot to say that yes, the sleeves on the orange jacket are too long - I will have them shortened. It should be quite easy as there are no buttons or cuffs - just a clean chop…. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206867 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 08:46:02 +0000 Katerina 2206867@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you Angie, very much for suggesting the lower contrast trousers.</p> <p>Angie and Joy, how do I find the “right” low contrast colors - I don’t have the same red trousers. I was thinking medium to dark grey, or burgundy, or darker blue - although navy might be high contrast? How should I think here? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206866 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 08:42:37 +0000 Katerina 2206866@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you all very much for the help!</p> <p>I have received so much positive comments on the orange jacket - I think it will be a keeper.</p> <p>I love the deep red blazer for many reasons - the fabric is very nice, thin soft wool mixed with some elastan - super comfortable. I also like how it fits on the shoulders and the chest - lies flat as it should, no creases…. The color works with many other colors, and like Angie, I use red almost like a neutral. As for the length - I will try to do a proper styling with different bottoms and different footwear to try to see the whole silhouette. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206838 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 03:03:23 +0000 Bijou 2206838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow - and this is when you are not styled! They look beautiful, but you have to love them too. For me, the orange coat is just divine, such a gorgeous colour on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206813 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 01:36:44 +0000 Echo 2206813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I definitely did NOT notice any unflattering effects from the red blazer; I think both jackets are fabulous on you. The orange is such a great color and length, and the red is so classic; it could go with almost anything, including the outfit you put it on with. I vote keep on both! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206812 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 01:33:47 +0000 Anonymous 2206812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>These are gorgeous. I can’t wait to see what you do with styling them! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206809 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 01:26:14 +0000 Anonymous 2206809@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look amazing in both jackets. The deep red looks fine to my eye with your white pants. Do you have pants that are closer to the color of the red? Even brown or navy or grey might give you an idea of what lower contrast would look like.<br /> I vote that you keep both jackets they are very different in color and style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206781 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:26:06 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2206781@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>My immediate thought on the red jacket was "wow!" I couldn't see any concern about the length. It is so flattering, just with this outfit alone (and I know it wasn't meant to be an "outfit"). I like it over the white pants--that shape of pant seems to work splendidly with it, proportionally. I agree with you that the color is unquestionably good--stunning on you. So I vote keep!</div><div>The orange jacket is super fun, and like Angie, I wondered whether you would shorten the sleeves, or maybe roll them?<br /></div><div>Nice finds!<br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206778 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:21:43 +0000 Jaime 2206778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The orange one looks fantastic and very much you. I have more qualms about the red, even though the color and fit are both excellent. I think you need to style it a few ways and see how you feel about it.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206774 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:06:58 +0000 Anonymous 2206774@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love them both. Absolutely love, exactly as they are. They're beautiful and they look just great on you</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206772 Fri, 02 Jul 2021 00:03:02 +0000 gryffin 2206772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Katerina - you look tdf stunning. I love the orange jacket. Color is wonderful and the clean simple lines keep is classy and your accessories will have a gorgeous back drop. I absolutely love the red blazer. The color makes you glow. Fit looks perfect. I have no issues with length and didn’t notice until I read your comment. You are very well proportioned. This does not detract. It’s absolutely stunning. But of course you need to love it. I have a bunch of blazers this length. I love them. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206757 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 23:12:55 +0000 Windchime 2206757@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Beautiful jackets on you! The orange looks amazing, and I like Angie’s suggestion to try a lower-contrast bottom with the red blazer.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206747 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 22:52:46 +0000 rachylou 2206747@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Both are gorgeous!!</p> <p>!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/kr-jackets-2#post-2206738 Thu, 01 Jul 2021 22:42:14 +0000 Angie 2206738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What <b>Lisa P</b> said. I love both on you! KILLER x2.&nbsp;</p> <p>A few thoughts: <ul> <li>Do you need to shorten the sleeves of the orange?</li> <li>Try the red jacket with a lower contrast bottom, and you might feel better about the length. I do hear you about the length though. I tend to like my blazers shorter, but wear this length too!&nbsp;</li> </ul>
