It does look long for your assistant! I agree that careful styling would be needed. What were your thoughts on a top/blouse? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-jacket-help-please#post-1107202 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 19:35:29 +0000 LACeleste 1107202@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks Diane! &nbsp;Very good point Carter. &nbsp;I think you nailed the exact issue I might have with it. &nbsp;I think it is too straight without darts. &nbsp;I am going to give it away.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-jacket-help-please#post-1107200 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 19:33:27 +0000 carter 1107200@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hard to tell still. I'd really like to see it on you. When I wear this mid-thigh length, I find that I need some shaping at my waist to not look like I'm wearing my husband's sport coat. Can't really tell in the picture whether it's shaped or straight. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-jacket-help-please#post-1107199 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 19:32:39 +0000 Anonymous 1107199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, I think it looks cool with those booties. They are fab and would add a good dose of edge to your outfit. I think skinnies would look great too. You have my blessing </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/long-jacket-help-please#post-1107196 Sat, 07 Dec 2013 19:27:29 +0000 LACeleste 1107196@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi,</p> <p>Trying to decide if this jacket is bad or good. &nbsp;I know a lot of you dislike this look. &nbsp;</p> <p>Maybe it would be described better as Equestrian jacket?</p> <p>Here are some pics to help me decide if is too over the top. It is navy blue 100% wool with cotton velvet detailing, new old stock from the good old 80s/90s. I know it will be costume-y if not styled carefully.</p> <p>-Held up by my lovely young assistant (working on a tripod set up!&nbsp;&nbsp;)<br />-I would style with dark skinnies, lace up boots, or perhaps, booties with heel buckle detail.</p> <p>Thanks for the feedback! You are all great!</p> <p>I decided to pass it on. &nbsp;Like Carter said, it's too straight.&nbsp;&nbsp;I was getting a weird style vibe---<b>undertaker!</b>. &nbsp;It's such a fine line w/ neo-victorian looks! :)</p> <p></p> <p></p>
