I think it is supposed to be a BF blazer anyway. I don't know correct sleeve length but will be watching cos mine are too long also. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928979 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:51:19 +0000 Raisin 928979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love it styled like this!

Hard to believe it's the same jacket from the earlier post. The sleeve length is a touch short I think, but your tailor will advise I'm sure. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928935 Thu, 09 May 2013 20:05:07 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 928935@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Wow--fantastic look! I love those shoes on you, and the styling of the blazer is sublime. <br />Maybe a half inch longer on the sleeve? Should cover any long sleeved blouse that you would wear with it, I think.<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928902 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:21:59 +0000 Vicki 928902@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A change of one word can do remarkable things. That's the power of language. Excellent way to view this and the slightly new you. Love this. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928901 Thu, 09 May 2013 19:20:17 +0000 Anonymous 928901@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it. Can you actually roll the sleeves? Does it have a cute lining? Just some additional ideas ;)I love this minimal you. super clever with the bookending shoes. The length looks spot on as shown in #1, but I prefer mine a smidgen longer. </p> <p> Side note: I predict this jacket and the inspiration behind it, will take you on a whole new direction. I'm very excited for you.</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928882 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:54:44 +0000 rae 928882@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ This doesn't just work, it <i>works</i>! Sub trousers and a shell and this can go to work, easy. Menswear blazer FTW! https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928875 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:35:48 +0000 Thistle 928875@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes, yes, yes!!!&nbsp; Terrific styling!&nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928869 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:29:21 +0000 Scarlet 928869@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ I quite like it, especially the shoes with your hair. I didn't have time to comment on the blazer thread, but I am glad you are keeping it and the sleeve length looks good to me here. If anything err for longer rather than shorter, I would think. Do you wear jewelry? For some reason a gold necklace would look great here to me.<br /><br />ETA: had to read this thread to find out what a "slight epiphany" is https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928862 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:17:48 +0000 K. Period. 928862@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ *PLONK*&nbsp;<br /><br />Yes, Una, that is the first time you've made me faint. &nbsp;OMG you look amazing and the menswear vibe on this, so perfect, so delicious, so fabulous!!!<br /><br />(Folded sleeve length looks good&nbsp;to me,&nbsp;deferring to Angie's feedback, of course. &nbsp;Attached is picture from Brooks Brothers. &nbsp;See how this is riding just on the top of the upper nub, but below the wrist bone?) &nbsp;<b>ETA</b>: Updated based on re-looky looky. You look fab! <b>E(Again)TA</b>: So funny, I was thinking the Brooks Brothers version I posted looked a little short, but I was willing to go with it, as they showed even shorter. &nbsp;However, the other posters have me convinced now that my first impulse that it was just a little too short was right. Sigh. Of course, we are really splitting hairs here. Any competent tailor will get it right. &nbsp;:) &nbsp; https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928861 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:16:18 +0000 ironkurtin 928861@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ You look smashing!<br /> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928860 Thu, 09 May 2013 18:15:35 +0000 Anonymous 928860@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Yes!

Love it. It's sleek menswear. I think the length of the sleeves folded under looks about right, although I might go a smidge longer (of course...who the heck knows how much a smidge is???). I'll leave the length issue to those more knowledgeable. https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/theory-style-and-slight-epiphany#post-928826 Thu, 09 May 2013 17:37:40 +0000 catgirl 928826@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ Zap's picture of Kate Lanphear yesterday really helped me realize that styling the Theory blazer requires thinking of it as menswear, rather than a feminine suit.&nbsp; And that actually appeals to me, since as a few of you commented, it does have the vibe of a men's suit. <br /><br />So here's an attempt to wear it semi-casually with Gap skinnies and my old oxblood oxfords.&nbsp; I like the simple streamlined look and colors.&nbsp; Does it work?&nbsp; Also, I'm showing the sleeves folded under - is this proper length to alter?&nbsp; In reality I will scrunch whenever I can!<br /><br />THANKS!
