Then a trench coat is the layer of choice. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-jackets-over-long-open-sweaters#post-325617 Mon, 04 Apr 2011 03:56:07 +0000 Ariadne 325617@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Good point, lyn--I only ever wear both jackets open. They are too tight when worn closed. Do you wear open jackets over open long sweaters, like unbuttoned cardis, with a shorter layer (say a tee) underneath? I should really take photos but I almost never have time to do them right now. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-jackets-over-long-open-sweaters#post-325553 Sun, 03 Apr 2011 23:11:44 +0000 lyn* 325553@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I do an open short jacket with a longer shirt; but I probably wouldn't like a closed short jacket with a long shirt... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-jackets-over-long-open-sweaters#post-325526 Sun, 03 Apr 2011 21:35:59 +0000 Ariadne 325526@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'd only want an anorak with a waist--maybe I'll go check H&amp;M some time soon. I guess a lightweight trench would work, too. Hmm. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-jackets-over-long-open-sweaters#post-325522 Sun, 03 Apr 2011 21:21:49 +0000 biscuitsmom 325522@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Im generally not a fan of this look, unless the jacket ends right at the waist, so there is a real definition....it is a pretty popular look around here (Mpls, Mn) in Spring though....Im sure anoraks (especially with a nipped-in waist) are all over this season! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-jackets-over-long-open-sweaters#post-325506 Sun, 03 Apr 2011 20:43:50 +0000 Saretta 325506@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have the same question! So, no answer for you, but maybe someone else can help us! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/short-jackets-over-long-open-sweaters#post-325501 Sun, 03 Apr 2011 20:19:11 +0000 Ariadne 325501@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hi everyone! I can't even remember the last time I logged in here, much less posted. My daughter will be two in a month and I have never been so busy (or done so much laundry, or spent so much time in such close vicinity to wide variety of bodily fluids) in my entire life. </p> <p>It's warming up here, and my lightweight jackets are starting to see the light of day again, hooray. I realized, though, that they're all short--cropped, even. I have the super light wash cropped denim jacket from NAS this year, and a sort of bomber-style olive green cotton jacket, and that's it. I also have a fair number of flowy and/or open long cardigans. Is it OK to wear a cropped jacket over these? I've tried before and it always looks weird to me. Buttoned cardigans and tunic tops look fine to my eye, but not open ones. Should I go look for something long (longer than the sweaters, the longest of which come to around mid-thigh) to wear over them? If so, what? Are anoraks still around this season? </p>
