Might not be very warm if October is ahead of schedule, but some are lined with knit as well, and you can layer with light wool sweater, and underlayer with that.<br />The trench idea can be interpreted with a short trench--can be quite sporty. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1294072 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 15:28:10 +0000 ironkurtin 1294072@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>TBH I think your Lululemon zip-up is probably fine! &nbsp;Why not shop in NYC? &nbsp;Tons of shopping in NYC! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1294038 Thu, 03 Jul 2014 14:57:31 +0000 Lisa 1294038@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I sport my leather jacket as often as I can in the fall, because it's ideal for cutting the wind on a cool day.&nbsp; It's also helpful to have a wet weather friendly piece, a trench or something rain repellent because when it does rain in the city it can be very messy.&nbsp; And scarves are a must in the fall.&nbsp; They do a great job to add some detail to an outfit while keeping the ol' neck warm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1293004 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 10:50:30 +0000 kkards 1293004@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>hmmm, this is a hard one because the weather in October can be hot, cold or anything in between. &nbsp;i'd look for an easy jacket that covers the tush, and is loose enough for layering. i like laura's idea of leather, but maybe with a backup plan in case of rain. its hard to give examples, since fall stuff hasn't hit the stores, yet (give it about a week) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1292971 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 07:30:45 +0000 Laura 1292971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You want something that is wind resistant yet you don't need a winter coat yet. For me, I would personally go for a nice leather jacket as October in New York City is perfect weather for leather jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1292926 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 03:51:03 +0000 Sheri 1292926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks - that quilted jacket looks really versatile. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1292910 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 03:02:05 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 1292910@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You know, there are usually some great fall jackets at Nordstrom's Anniversary Sale. If you live near one, it would be worth going in and trying on some different styles, even just to see what you like. By the end of this month, I think you'll be seeing more choices in the stores.<br />What about a classic quilted style jacket, like <a href="http://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/78463?productId=1306331&amp;attrValue_0=Dark%20Ivy&amp;mr:trackingCode=F2D50097-B0F0-E211-A497-90E2BA285E75&amp;mr:referralID=NA&amp;mr:device=c&amp;mr:adType=pla_with_promotion&amp;mkwid=D8LK7vZd_dc&amp;pcrid=45782982920&amp;qs=3091364_google" rel="nofollow">this one</a>? </p> <p>eta: The idea I'm going for is something like this Burberry, collected below. I linked to the LLBean one, because I've seen past versions IRL and admired them--I like the plaid showing when you roll up the sleeve a turn or two. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1292893 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 02:43:37 +0000 abc 1292893@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, it seems like at least one scarf will be in order for this trip!!! &nbsp;I love scarves, too!</p> <p>My vote is for a fabric moto, something like what I'm putting below in the finds. &nbsp;I chose these because the lighter color makes an outfit look fresh, but you could do a colorblocked option or a solid darker color as well. &nbsp;These are just options anyway.</p> <p>We'll see what other, wiser Fabbers have to say. &nbsp;Nice to meet you!!</p> <p>PS since you have been to NYC I'm sure you know this but please don't forget the most comfortable walking shoes you can find.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1292885 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 02:27:02 +0000 Sheri 1292885@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>yes, this is me </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1292873 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 02:14:57 +0000 abc 1292873@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What about a moto? &nbsp;It could be in fabric rather than leather (though I think leather could be a great option for Oct in NYC). &nbsp;Maybe something other than black, like blush? &nbsp;</p> <p>Do you happen to have any WIW photos so we can see your style? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1292845 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:54:48 +0000 Sheri 1292845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>thanks everyone :)</p> <p>my style is probably more classic/sporty.&nbsp; I tend to favour shorter jackets if that is any help.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1292834 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:44:32 +0000 abc 1292834@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Member Emily has this trench and I drool over it every time she posts it.</p> <p><a rel="nofollow" href="http://bananarepublic.gap.com/browse/product.do?pid=556442002&amp;vid=1&amp;locale=en_US&amp;kwid=1&amp;sem=false&amp;sdReferer=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bananarepublic.com%2Fproducts%2Fcoats.jsp">http://bananarepublic.gap.com/.....se&#038;sd</a></p> <p>Check back in and let us know more about your style preferences (classic vs artsy or boho or RATE for example), color preferences, etc. &nbsp;You mentioned mostly casual activities and wearing jeans a lot, so I think a trench might work, but need more feedback to be really helpful :D</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1292824 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:34:46 +0000 abc 1292824@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What kind of a dresser are you? &nbsp;If you like BR I would say a classic trench coat. &nbsp;Looks great with denim and slacks or even over a dress.</p> <p>PS What a fun trip! &nbsp;I can't wait to take mine to NYC for the first time (but I have a few years to go). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/perfect-jacket-to-wear-to-nyc-in-october#post-1292823 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 01:33:13 +0000 Sheri 1292823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>In October my husband and I will be taking our two children to NYC for their first time (they are 7 and 10).&nbsp; We have been before and I would like to look a tad dressier than my Lululemon zip up jacket :)</p> <p>But I still have some mom shlepping, so I don't want something with fabric too delicate or stain prone.&nbsp; We plan to do a mix of indoor/outdoor activities (museums,parks, more casual restaurants).&nbsp; Typically I wear jeans.</p> <p>I like Banana Republic, Tribal, Mexx.&nbsp; My upper half is about a size 4-6.</p> <p>Could anyone recommend a suitable jacket?</p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p> <p></p>
