I like the stylings, so try a few things and see how you feel about it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utility-jacket-havent-worn-yet#post-2021839 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 08:01:28 +0000 Gigi 2021839@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Sometimes when I have this problem, I try to alter the jacket with my hands as I'm looking in the mirror. If I think maybe the length is too long, I'll fold up the hem with my hand and see how that looks. If I think it's too boxy, I'll try to nip in the material with my hand at the back of the jacket and see what I think. If I think a particular design element is "off," I'll cover it up with my hand. That usually helps me pinpoint the problem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utility-jacket-havent-worn-yet#post-2021771 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 04:06:34 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2021771@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Maybe you were just ahead of the curve, and you needed to adjust to the idea. I say give it another try, now that we're seeing more of this style. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utility-jacket-havent-worn-yet#post-2021758 Wed, 24 Apr 2019 03:00:36 +0000 Jessikams 2021758@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m in the same boat! I bought a pink one last year but have barely worn it because it seems to make any outfit toooooo casual. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utility-jacket-havent-worn-yet#post-2021634 Tue, 23 Apr 2019 17:32:28 +0000 Angie 2021634@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Let's see it on!&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utility-jacket-havent-worn-yet#post-2021618 Tue, 23 Apr 2019 17:25:21 +0000 unfrumped 2021618@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think attention to proportions helps, and I also like to “ juxtapose” with more feminine items. I like with pencil skirts, or dresses, or pants that are tapered , or if wide, are higher waisted, and footwear more refined. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utility-jacket-havent-worn-yet#post-2021613 Tue, 23 Apr 2019 17:01:04 +0000 Liesbeth 2021613@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The color makes it far from boyish imo. So I wouldn’t worry too much about getting extra pieces, maybe you just need to get used to it? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utility-jacket-havent-worn-yet#post-2021607 Tue, 23 Apr 2019 16:22:17 +0000 Murph11 2021607@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Oh, I like it! I have an olive Loft jacket from last year, but it looks like your version is cropped, which I'd wear even more. I also picked up this cropped mustard Zara jacket late last summer and wear it all the time.</p> <p>I agree with RobinF... try a styling session and see what you come up with! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utility-jacket-havent-worn-yet#post-2021586 Tue, 23 Apr 2019 15:07:28 +0000 RobinF 2021586@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it! Color is great. Maybe you need to do a workshop kind of thing to try some different pieces? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/utility-jacket-havent-worn-yet#post-2021583 Tue, 23 Apr 2019 15:02:56 +0000 texstyle 2021583@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I bought one of these last year and have not yet worn it. I can't pinpoint exactly why - it *should* work for me. I love the color, it's casual, it's light weight for my warm climate, and it should work over a simple tee or other simple top. But something about it still makes me pause. Too boyish? Too boxy? I don't know. I'll have to give it a try with more jewelry and feminine accents I guess. I don't really even own a single floral top but I have a feeling it would be good under this jacket. </p>
