(I tried a Loft toille pattern once. )<br /> It's like there's the jacket body but it's " separated in front &amp; then your arms are moving around - so pattern and movement everywhere.<br /> I don't feel that with stripes - I love seersucker, for example - though they're thin and overall low contrast. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/report-on-whbm-floral-blazer#post-1840988 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 12:45:43 +0000 Anonymous 1840988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer pattern in the skirt, and I think it's because it occupies a smaller area, visually. The pattern in the blazer feels like it is quite maximal. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/report-on-whbm-floral-blazer#post-1840980 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 12:03:58 +0000 unfrumped 1840980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It does help confirm that my floral skirts are much more versatile (even though not classic figure camouflage to wear pattern on the bottom half). I feel they can be dressed up with dressy top, made more serious with classic blazer, worn other places with chambray shirt or T. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/report-on-whbm-floral-blazer#post-1840955 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 06:14:44 +0000 Brooklyn 1840955@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks for the report. I am very tempted by that jacket but I am not sure how much wear I would get out of it. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/report-on-whbm-floral-blazer#post-1840949 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 04:46:58 +0000 Anonymous 1840949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What bridgie said. It was a good idea to try it and good to reject it if it was not right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/report-on-whbm-floral-blazer#post-1840946 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 04:02:50 +0000 bridgie 1840946@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Unfrumped, I wouldn't call that a weak moment.&nbsp; I think it was good that you ordered the jacket and tried it.&nbsp;Since you did that you will not be wondering how it would have worked if you had tried it. Now you have eliminated it.&nbsp; And if you don't feel good with the black jacket, let it go and stick with your lighter colors if that is what you would prefer.</p> <p>I also prefer lighter colors and they are more flattering on me, but once in a while I just have to try something different that catches my eye! :)</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/report-on-whbm-floral-blazer#post-1840944 Wed, 30 Aug 2017 03:00:45 +0000 unfrumped 1840944@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a weak moment and ordered the WHBM floral blazer to try. Was not planning a " skirt suit" look but just wondering.<br /> I was not motivated to take pics, but it looked totally weird on me. I cannot wear that pattern as a jacket. Sort of like random focal points. It ran true to size for me but was also not a good style, fitted a bit off. I thought I'd like the cotton fabric, good for much of year here, but it was too- rough ? - for what I like in jackets<br /> I'm also rethinking the ponte black jacket-- I tend to grab because I like knit, like to have some length with pants, and it's plainer than usual WHBM ( meaning they often have a lot of metallic bits &amp; snaps or braid and things), but I wore a light- colored jacket today and am reminded how much better a medium to light color is. </p> <p>So, random largish patterns on jackets- no. </p>
