And it's a fantastic color on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526425 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 14:25:00 +0000 catgirl 1526425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the regular too - I think it eliminates the issue when a cropped jacket looks like it can't close.&nbsp; Like Rachy, I prefer my jackets to look like they could close because I'm sensitive about my upper body.&nbsp; But the longer the jacket, the less of a "that jacket is too small" vibe it gives.&nbsp; Gorgeous color - LOVE red linen which is rare! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526320 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 12:49:40 +0000 Transcona Shannon 1526320@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>What a fabulous color on you Diana and the lace sleeves are gorgeous. This reminds me of my navy INC lace sleeve moto (hmmmm...haven't worn that for a while...) which I still love.</p> <p>I also prefer the fit of the regular. It drapes a little nicer with the extra length. I can see it work equally well with dresses/skirts and trousers...and jeans...and shorts.... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526241 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 08:00:58 +0000 lyn67 1526241@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The longer the better, can you alter a bit? but nothing of that wrinkle is visible!:-) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526110 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:42:59 +0000 E 1526110@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooooh I love it! No opinion on sizing, as I think they both look wonderful on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526098 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:20:15 +0000 columbine(erin) 1526098@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the longer length on you. Hope it works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526092 Fri, 24 Jul 2015 00:07:52 +0000 Diana 1526092@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Angie, I think I prefer the regular too, although the shorter length might be better for my summer wardrobe. But I like that the reg is just a teeny bit looser and I prefer the longer sleeves. Can't scrunch bc they are wider but that's ok. The armhole thing is very subtle and only shows when I raise my arms and it falls back out when I put them down.</p> <p>Well I have until the weekend to think about it I guess since I won't have time to go back to Macy's until then. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526077 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:46:52 +0000 Angie 1526077@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Hmmmm. I can't believe I'm saying this but I prefer the fit of the regular size. I can't see the deep armhole wrinkle thing in the pics.&nbsp;</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526060 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 23:27:51 +0000 Aida 1526060@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ohh I like the longer one (regular), but I mean the longer is more of a pants sort of length and the shorter skirts/dresses. You would do well either way! </p> <p>EDIT: Looks like only the petite is on sale online. Just sayin'.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526036 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 22:55:30 +0000 rachylou 1526036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the shorter. Lol, world of difference without the vest. Now it looks like it can close, haha! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526035 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 22:53:11 +0000 annagybe 1526035@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh freaking yes!<br />Can't help you on size though. Maybe the regular is better. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526033 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 22:50:46 +0000 Diana 1526033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok, additional wrinkle. I found it in regular length as well. It's longer and looser overall but the shoulders do that too deep armhole wrinkle thing. And the sleeves are possibly too wide although I like the longer length. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526031 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 22:49:06 +0000 harmonica 1526031@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yay! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526028 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 22:45:48 +0000 Angie 1526028@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>THUMBS UP.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1526025 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 22:44:34 +0000 Diana 1526025@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ok here it is without the vest and a couple on the hanger. It's tomato red irl although I think my photos are making it look neon!</p> <p>Rachy, the fronts just touch when I pull them together but I think that's how it's supposed to be. </p> <p>Aida, the back is actually straight but the fronts are pointed. And yes I wouldn't wear more layers underneath. </p> <p>So it turns out it's on sale online for some reason and not in the store so I'm going to order it instead. </p> <p>I do have another linen/lace combo jacket, the blush one, but I think there's room for both in my wardrobe! I use the blush one a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1525982 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 21:54:30 +0000 Word Lily 1525982@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think this is very you, Diana.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1525976 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 21:51:08 +0000 Angie 1525976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thumbs up. I LOVE the colour. Lace sleeves are a bonus.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1525971 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 21:47:33 +0000 rachylou 1525971@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's linen? Gosh. Anyways, I don't know. Can you pull it closed, even though it's not meant to be closed? I have a head bug about jackets not being able to close... I feel they should, even if they don't. I do like the colour and lace a lot. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1525966 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 21:43:13 +0000 celia 1525966@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it but the layers underneath are throwing me off regarding fit.<br /> I say follow your first instinct. If you felt great when we put in on buy it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1525954 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 21:26:03 +0000 Aida 1525954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it a lot! Even more with the lace sleeves. Is the thickness of your layers about what you'd wear under it? I don't know if more than that world work with this jacket, but this amount is good. Looks like the back hem is curved, is that right? Fun detail if so ^^</p> <p>PS would be fun with your raspberry BR tee perhaps! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1525952 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 21:23:25 +0000 Diana 1525952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The sleeves are lace by the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/should-i-buy-this-red-linen-jacket#post-1525951 Thu, 23 Jul 2015 21:22:41 +0000 Diana 1525951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tried it on at Macy's earlier. It's a petite and the right length for once. Very nice shaping for me. zippers are fake (is that weird?) and there is no closure. This size fits better than the size up in the shoulders. I would not ordinary wear it over this vest, obviously. </p> <p>Sleeves feel borderline short to me but I think that's just my penchant for super long sleeves showing. I think they look ok, no? </p>
