I don't know if they are called Tuxedo jackets or not. I'll post and ask.</p> <p>Not sure if this fits in the category of coveting, but after seeing the flowing, layering, silky fabrics in Angie and Greg's pictures from NYFW, I have been ordering pieces made to layer in that manner. I have a few days of playing dress up in my future and will photograph that too.<br /> I'm just so excited about the style right now, even thoug in reality those styles at NYFW are really for next fall. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting#post-129779 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:09:30 +0000 Angie 129779@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>And probably why you've given up on batwings, Ele :0). Armholes that are cut high are relatively slimming too. </p> <p>Fiona, I can't imagine that you're hard to fit for a jacket! I need to take you shopping. </p> <p>Julie, I want a classic, fitted tuxedo jacket, hip length, with perfect satin lapels. Nothing too cropped, too long or with patch pockets. And then of course, it has to fit my dainty shoulders. Not so easy, even when you're prepared to pay a little extra. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting#post-129778 Mon, 01 Mar 2010 07:02:57 +0000 Ele 129778@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>San, I love those boots! Now I've coveting them, too :)</p> <p>Re: high armholes. This is when a jacket or other tailored item is cut quite slim in the armhole and sleeve, to create a slimming and elongated look. If you're wearing something with sleeves now, trying sticking out your arm and grabbing the spare fabric in the armpit. Imagine if the side seam went higher up into the space: the sleeve opening would be smaller, and the sleeve would have to be cut slimmer to accommodate, yes? Think Dior's New Look!</p> <p>I LOVE super-slim sleeves so I'm all about this in tailoring. Nothing bothers me more than jackets and coats with loads of excess, baggy fabric in the upper arms. That's why I love my new jacket so much </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting#post-129422 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 17:21:50 +0000 cciele 129422@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Joy -- yes, Fryes go on sale. I got my Veronicas for more than half off.</p> <p>I'm very intrigued by the tux jacket trend, but I'm not much of a structured jacket gal so will content myself watching how others style theirs.</p> <p>I am coveting the perfect leather jacket, but unfortunately am not sure what that is for me yet! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/this-week-i-am-coveting#post-129375 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 14:42:23 +0000 londonkiwi (now back in NZ) 129375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My ideal tux jacket would look something like this - <a href="http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/63415" rel="nofollow">http://www.net-a-porter.com/product/63415</a> </p> <p>Jackets are tricky for me (there is a reason I only have one), but I think a jacket like this would be so timeless and see me through at least the next 15 years.
