I think I love that one but it’s hard to tell for sure without seeing more of it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049246 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 14:44:29 +0000 Anonymous 2049246@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>SF - I think the Duchess is available in olive (their colour name is Army)&nbsp; . I'm sure I&nbsp; just tried it on a few weeks ago. It has white lining though - as in stark white- which I didn't like.&nbsp; $695 Cdn - eek.</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049199 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 11:08:50 +0000 Style Fan 2049199@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Jane, the camel colour is very flattering to your colouring.&nbsp; I like the cut of the Smythe Duchess blazers.&nbsp; I have tried that blazer on in burgundy and liked it.&nbsp; If they had it in camel or olive I would have bought it.<br />You have a very pretty face and gorgeous figure.&nbsp; I think the cut out in the back might bring attention to one's bottom if wearing pants/jeans.&nbsp; Something to consider. &nbsp;<br />Would you wear the blazer closed?&nbsp; It does change the look if you unbutton the blazer.<br />Of course, you have to be comfortable with the look. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049175 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 05:46:04 +0000 Jane 2049175@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ahh thank you for thinking about it, Suz, that is interesting. I might take a friend to look at it today. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049164 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 04:36:41 +0000 Suz 2049164@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The more I look at it the more I actually like the Duchess. With a skirt (which you typically wear at work) it would be brilliant.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049159 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 04:05:12 +0000 Jane 2049159@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Isabel, </b>thank you, I don't think I am quite enough in love with the red to properly consider. I am in two minds on the red.&nbsp;</p> <p><b>Shevia, </b>I know - it is an arrow pointing! Thank you for your compliment on the work outfit.</p> <p>Thank you <b>Bijou! </b>I am with you!</p> <p><b>Staysfit</b>, <b>Suntigers </b>comment is good and I am still smiling at it!</p> <p><b>Sal,</b>&nbsp;wise words, they are pricey and I would need to love them. The funny thing is on the red the sleeves seem quite wide to me.&nbsp;</p> <p>Thank you <b>Suz.</b> I think the thing I have learnt here is that both the red / pink warm tone is good on me as is the darker camel.&nbsp;So that is good to know! Thank you on the outfit.&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049154 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 03:54:53 +0000 Suz 2049154@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><b>Jane,</b> both colours are fantastic on you.&nbsp;</p> <p>I love the fit of the toffee in front but agree that the back detail is a bit distracting. I think the way it could/would work well is with a skirt. It gives you a bit of room for a flare at the back without interfering with the jacket itself. A bit like a cutaway in practical effect, as if you were seated on a horse, you know?&nbsp;</p> <p>The red looks as if the shoulder fit/ padding is "off" for your frame is all. But keep trying the styles. OH my goodness, the quality just oozes out and suits you SO well.&nbsp;</p> <p>Love your day's outfit and THE BAG!!! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049150 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 03:40:20 +0000 Sal 2049150@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like both - but I know Smythe are pricey so you need to LOVE them.</p> <p>I like the window but I can see how you might not want it.....&nbsp; I like the red jacket and have a similar style (double breasted with gold buttons) that I have really enjoyed wearing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049148 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 03:26:16 +0000 Staysfit 2049148@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I can’t help laughing at Suntigers comment and it distracted me from what I was going to say.</p> <p>That is an odd cut and I bet there is a reason. I doubt that is only for style. It is probably cut like that so the jacket lays right when sitting on a horse or something.......or maybe so the back bottom doesn’t get wrinkled when you sit because there is none! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049146 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 03:19:16 +0000 Bijou 2049146@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great fit on these jackets, but I don’t like the back of the Duchess jacket either, it is an unusual design. Great colours on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049139 Wed, 31 Jul 2019 03:03:24 +0000 Jaime 2049139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your work outfit looks great, I love the red jacket, the cut out would disturb me as the unusual design feature seems to point an arrow to your bum, which I find just weird (nothing to do with how said area looks ). </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049012 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 20:04:43 +0000 Anonymous 2049012@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It's difficult to judge the fit of the red with your arms extended. I can't say I love it really, the style combined with the color seems a little harsh.You might like a woven pattern with red better? </p> <p>The first jacket is utterly bizarre. I could be more tactful but honestly, I feel that's a real no.&nbsp;</p> <p>You are very pretty and your figure is just lovely</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2049005 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 19:45:12 +0000 Jane 2049005@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Muffin, I think I do like it but may be not for me at work. If I could wear with a skirt, then may be.&nbsp;</p> <p>Cardiff girl, I feel slightly like shouting Tally Ho, in the red - gorgeous though it is.&nbsp;</p> <p>Vildy, ahh, okay. Yes that might be it, but it could be the pressing. May be it isn't as bad as I think it is, LisaP.&nbsp;</p> <p>Angie, thank you, the toffee felt an easy colour to wear.&nbsp;</p> <p>Suntiger, very good!</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2048991 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 18:53:36 +0000 Anonymous 2048991@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure I can see what you are referring to on the shoulder of the pink jacket - sorry. &nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2048990 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 18:52:03 +0000 Anonymous 2048990@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Funny &nbsp;Yes, the Duchess cut has that centre back raised hem, and I thought I was the only Smythe lover in North America who didn't like it. &nbsp;I think it's weird, full stop,and is a design feature I cannot wrap my head around. I've tried the Duchess &nbsp;on time and time again and just cannot .</p> <p> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2048988 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 18:36:41 +0000 Angie 2048988@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm with <b>Muffin.</b> I like the bottom window! :)</p> <p>The shade of toffee is sublime on you, <b>Jane</b>.

I rather like the cutout and find it adds interest. True, it does focus on the derrière but I’m ok with that! I do think fit is hard to determine while trying to take pictures but both colors are lovely on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2048970 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 18:05:38 +0000 Cardiff girl 2048970@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I agree that the camel is lovely from the front but what is that back about?It s like a window show casing one s bottom,very odd.The red looks good on you but a blazer has to be versatile so if it won’t work with all your work clothes that’s no good.The new red bag is gorgeous! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2048962 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 17:56:01 +0000 Vildy 2048962@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Yeah, the back design feature on the camel doesn't make any sense and is a jarring view.&nbsp;&nbsp; In menswear, they call the indentation below the shoulder "shoulder divots" and considered a sign of poor fit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2048953 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 17:43:17 +0000 Jane 2048953@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I am nodding with you on the camel colour. The back detail is too strange isn’t it - not for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2048952 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 17:41:52 +0000 Anonymous 2048952@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look beautiful from the front.&nbsp; I am afraid I would have to stare at the weird cutout in back though.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2048951 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 17:40:29 +0000 Anonymous 2048951@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the red a lot, and the bag! Not sure about the beige jacket. I think if the shape in back wasn't as squared I'd like it more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/smythe-blazers#post-2048948 Tue, 30 Jul 2019 17:37:10 +0000 Jane 2048948@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I had a quick look at Smythe jackets after work.</p> <p>I love the camel version to the front but I find the back slightly odd. Is this detailing signature to their style?</p> <p>I also liked the red but I am not sure how it will look with skirts and dresses rather than trousers. What I didn’t like about the red was how it was at the shoulders - there seemed to be an indent from the pressing. What do you think.</p> <p>Then what I wore to work with trainers for the commute (washed every weekend so always look neat!). Thrifted linen jacket, A McQueen scarf and trousers (rare for me but I like them in high summer as it means I don’t need to wear tights). New Furla bag is pretty similar in colour to red jacket.</p> <p>I would welcome your thoughts! </p>
