I like how it's a "classic with a twist" but the twist is pretty classic in its own right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-into-or-out-of-this-jacket/page/2#post-2044186 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 20:19:26 +0000 Bennett 2044186@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your at-home photo took me from "hmmmm", to "oh wow"!

I know what you mean about the styling of this jacket -- my other black leather jacket definitely has a less refined vibe. I like "tough" but more and more I need a sophisticated aspect to these kinds of pieces.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-into-or-out-of-this-jacket/page/2#post-2044082 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 16:23:00 +0000 kellygirl 2044082@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keep! It's perfect. What I love about it is the softness the brown brings in. My black moto with silver hardware looks so "hard" in comparison--I have a hard time wearing it because it has so much edge and looks even a little tough for me. Great fit and length too!

I was warm from being outside and I don’t have the AC cranked up, so this was a very hurried try on, just to see how the boots and jacket play together. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-into-or-out-of-this-jacket#post-2043832 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 00:55:42 +0000 kkards 2043832@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>i like it because it is mixed media...its a little statementy without being a STATEMENT...if that makes sense....if i wore short jackets in the fall/winter i'd think about this one...<br />i vote keep </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-into-or-out-of-this-jacket#post-2043798 Tue, 16 Jul 2019 00:02:12 +0000 Janet 2043798@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thanks, everyone! </p> <p>For me, the best way to figure it out is to bring it home and look at in the context of my wardrobe. A try-on session is probably in order. </p> <p>Notsaf you are astute. Both of those old Theory leather/tweed jackets are on the way out. I found a little faux fur wrap I forgot I had that can be the topper for my navy cocktail dress. I also gave my niece two blazers and a moto, and one other moto is going to my other niece. Two more are in the consignment bag. And another is in the holding zone. I’m feeling pickier about fit these days, and I’m side-eyeing another one that I said was a keeper, because the fit is not what it once was. The two black moto-ish jackets I have: one is slightly longer and has a bit more of an oversized, slouchier vibe. One is a Helmut Lang draped-front jacket that I adore but it is very outfit and occasion specific. So right now I have sort of a super casual black moto and a fancy black cropped leather jacket. I wear enough black that I don’t think three distinct looks in a black leather jacket are overkill, are they? </p> <p>My initial reaction to the brown suede accent and the small bit of animal print is positive. It’s not a big in-your-face swath of it, and I like that it’s an interesting texture mix while still being low-contrast. I am coming to realize I like a little bit of animal print, not to be covered in it. My reptile print skirt is the limit of my animal print tolerance, I think. So this fits into my preference well. </p> <p>The brown/black mix doesn’t bother me, and in fact kind of appeals to me. Brown is a neutral, after all, and I did just invest in black and brown reptile print boots. I think this will look good with my usual color palette of black, white, and shades of blue, green, and some red/burgundy.</p> <p>I do not have a huge affinity for pattern mixing, but I do like it in small amounts. I think this would mix with some of my patterns, but I will have to look to be sure. I can think of a few scarves that will probably play well with this.</p> <p>Thank you for all the food for thought! Great feedback. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-into-or-out-of-this-jacket#post-2043794 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 23:51:26 +0000 christy 2043794@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Well, queen of jackets - it suits you incredibly well! Is it worth adopting a “one in, one out” strategy? Replacing one of the jackets that doesn’t fit as well for this one that fits you beautifully? Or perhaps you edited enough that you don’t need to get rid of something to add this in?</p> <p>I agree with making sure it plays nicely with the rest of your closet, so I hope you took it home to try some outfit creation. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/talk-me-into-or-out-of-this-jacket#post-2043791 Mon, 15 Jul 2019 23:43:21 +0000 crst 2043791@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I absolutely love this jacket. I have an all black Bernardo moto and it is beautiful. This is the type of jacket I would be so excited to have, but I think Sal makes a great point. As much as I would adore the jacket, I would get bored pairing it with white all the time. That would limit its usage. But I like it to change around my clothes pairings often and am easily bored with the same combos. </p>
