Very clever Angie, thank you so much! A very rare good thing about having a very long torso </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-653263 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:41:07 +0000 Angie 653263@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You have a very long body - it's going to work either way! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-653262 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:40:16 +0000 Tanya 653262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much Angie! Do you think that length with work with skirts too, or is it only for pants? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-653260 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:38:02 +0000 Angie 653260@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer #2. Great pocket detailing. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-653254 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 14:24:18 +0000 Tanya 653254@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much Jeanne and Joy!</p> <p>Joy, I will stop by H&amp;M next time I am close by one. The ruffled peplum back sounds intriguing! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-653084 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 03:37:59 +0000 Anonymous 653084@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Express jacket best, as it seems more dressy for your cocktail functions. I could see all the other pieces on you too.<br /> Today I tried on a black tuxedoesque jacket at H&amp;M that was cute but the style wouldn't work for my needs. It was an ok length on me wearing a pencil skirt and had a peplum ruffled back. It would have to be worn over slim underlayers.</p> <p>I just looked at H&amp;M online and didn't see it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-652985 Sun, 24 Jun 2012 00:26:17 +0000 Jjsloane 652985@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I prefer the 1st jacket, but I rarely button mine anyway. I just like that style better in a tuxedo style for women. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-652963 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 23:13:08 +0000 Tanya 652963@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you very much ladies! Seems that #2 is more popular, and I personally prefer it as well. Now I would be curious to know if the length would work for skirts too ( I think it works for pants). I am adding the photos of the matching items, all that I really like. It would be cool to own the whole 4-piece suit </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-652960 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 23:03:26 +0000 Meredith1953 652960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Based on the pictures I prefer the jacket in #2. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-652949 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 22:38:53 +0000 Mo 652949@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like #2 better just from the pic, but also because it has the option of matching bottoms. Seems like the smarter choice to me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-652884 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 21:12:01 +0000 jayne 652884@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I loved 2...the pocket flaps added a touch of detail that I liked more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-652858 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 20:34:48 +0000 Alecia 652858@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Those are great. I can't tell the length difference between the two you posted too much. My initial reaction is to think that when I try to get something in between to work with more than one thing, it doesn't really work well for either. So I vote to try to get two lengths. Get the length you think you'd get the most wear out of first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-652846 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 20:10:29 +0000 Kari 652846@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oooh. Tanya, I like the idea of #2 for your figure a ton. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-652845 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 20:01:23 +0000 Tanya 652845@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Thank you for your input Anna and Diana! </p> <p>Ana, I would prefer two but I am not sure it would be realistic.</p> <p>Diana, I saw that white tuxedo jacket and am in love! It is on my wishlist, but I would prefer to get a black one first. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-652823 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 18:54:58 +0000 Diana 652823@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I remember correctly the BB Dakota one did not close, right? I think that makes it less versatile and maybe harder to wear with skirts. So I think the express might be a better bet if you were to get only one.<br /> I'm assuming from these choices that you are looking for all black, but I am kind of intrigued by the idea of a black and white tuxedo jacket.

One very cropped and one longer. If you can swing two budget wise I'd do that. I prefer the cropped one with skirts, but haven't tried it with dresses. Though I tend not to layer over dresses. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/thoughts-on-these-tuxedo-esque-jackets#post-652784 Sat, 23 Jun 2012 18:13:09 +0000 Tanya 652784@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I have a tuxedo jacket on my wish list for my cocktail capsule, but it would work for plenty of other occasions as well. Ideally, I would like two - cropped one to work with skirts/dresses and longer one/almost boyfriend style for pants. Practically, I might have to settle for one :)</p> <p>At DC YLF meeting last weekend we tried this burgundy one by BB Dakota:<br /> <a href="http://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/dc-ylf-meetup---a-few-photos-of-out-group-outing" rel="nofollow">http://youlookfab.com/welookfa.....oup-outing</a><br /> I have just found that is is available online in black too (#1). Also, Express just got this one (#2). The BB Dakota jacket is longer, will definitely work for pants, not so sure about skirts ( I am wearing it with a pencil skirt in the photo from the meeting). The Express jacket is a medium length jacket that could either work with both skirts and pants well or maybe not be ideal with either. Both are of similar price, although I will wait for the sale for either. Express one is probably better quality and there are options for matching bottoms (pants and pencil skirt) and a vest.</p> <p>What are your thoughts on these jackets/their lengths? Which one do you prefer? Do you think I should I get one jacket in medium length or try to look for two separate ones, long and cropped? </p>
