I know it's not Armani, but it has " that something" that elevates an outfit. For me it helps give more interest to work trousers and pencil skirts.<br /> I think the style should have some longevity , hopefully, due to the military aspects, so that could help CPW factor, or really, the effort factor of getting some good outfits going, and being able to enjoy them for more than one season. My hope is that it won't pill easily so that I could wear it for a couple of years. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-love-for-the-james-perse-knit-jacket#post-1707861 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 02:41:37 +0000 Beth 1707861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looking forward to seeing it on you as well!</p> <p>I have the black version and am also struggling with the price given the fact that it's a knit that has a bit of a sweatshirt feel to it. That said, the tailoring and fit are fantastic and I can see it becoming a real workhorse.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-love-for-the-james-perse-knit-jacket#post-1707838 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 01:28:35 +0000 Suz 1707838@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fabulous! I hope we get to see it on you soon. It seems like this is a jacket that works for many body types. I think it is worth the price.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-love-for-the-james-perse-knit-jacket#post-1707837 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 01:25:46 +0000 Style Fan 1707837@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love that jacket.&nbsp; I also think it needs to be olive.&nbsp; But half my wardrobe is olive so I am biased.&nbsp; I am hoping to find it IRL because I have no idea what size I am.&nbsp; My James Perse pieces are size 1 but that may not be right for a jacket.&nbsp; I do have a mini torso.&nbsp; Mini shoulders.<br />I hope you enjoy it.&nbsp; Olive is very versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/more-love-for-the-james-perse-knit-jacket#post-1707836 Thu, 04 Aug 2016 01:19:44 +0000 unfrumped 1707836@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I stalked UmmLilas jacket until it came back in. I got olive because I think this jacket " wants" to be olive, abc black jackets keep being draining on me, and maybe it wasn't in stock anyway.<br /> Well, the jacket is fabulous and I don't think it can be pried out of my hands now. It's just the right degree of not- corporate, not matchy.<br /> BUT olive is not a main neutral for me and bottoms will usually have to be gray or navy. But since it goes with burgundy tops , I think that may work.<br /> I was worried about getting a cohesive look that way, but since burgundy and dark red footwear are a big part of my wardrobe, I think that helps. Also I belive in the fashion winds blowing some unifying prints. I already have as olive and black print skirt and s couple of tops with bits of olive.<br /> So, I would plan to use a small capsule.<br /> It also works easily with jeans and is so comfortable that I think that will help with versatility.<br /> I struggle with the price for an unlined knit jacket but it just has the" look" that works for me and is more useful that way than a regular business blazer.<br /> ( This was supposed to be NAS category but I rechecked a box out of habit). </p>
