The jacket is classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077997 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 18:10:08 +0000 JG 1077997@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love this outfit. The sparkle of the gold buttons livens up the expanse of dark fabric, creates a long vertical line, and bookends your hair. And navy and black together? Sophisticated, unexpected, and less harsh than all-black on the fair complected. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077945 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 17:25:16 +0000 Elizabeth P 1077945@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very sleek!&nbsp; I also love navy and black together, but have been hesitant to wear it without another piece (with both colours in it) to make it look purposeful.&nbsp; Now I see that isn't needed.&nbsp; I personally would prefer it with different buttons, but hey. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077835 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 16:04:24 +0000 AviaMariah 1077835@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>unfrumped - your post made me laugh because the reason I haven't worn this in the two years since buying it (besides being pregnant during that time) is the only way I could picture wearing it was with khaki's which would definitely look dated! &nbsp;Angie and this board opened my eyes to the beauty of black and blue worn together. &nbsp;:) </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077411 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 04:08:18 +0000 unfrumped 1077411@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>It works great to my eye because of the slim pants and booties. Sort of a riding habit look that has an innate appeal. I can see that if I wore this jacket with wide leg trousers, it would flop. I also think it helps that longer jackets are trending. Super styling! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077398 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 03:56:22 +0000 Suz 1077398@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! That navy is a gorgeous one on you. Vibrant. It works brilliantly with the black. And the gold buttons give is pizzazz and a bit of shine.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077358 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 03:01:27 +0000 Jaime 1077358@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So happy to come to this thread! I love this look, but am in some sort of jacket mind freeze lately. No way navy jackets are dated though, that is unacceptable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077317 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 02:25:08 +0000 Beth Ann 1077317@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it!&nbsp; And the gold buttons, even.&nbsp; It has a "menswear" to it that makes it seem new. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077268 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 01:44:56 +0000 Day Vies 1077268@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loving it! Navy jackets dated? (ptttth!) I'm glad I missed that conversation ... second only to cobalt navy blue is my favorite color. I adore this jacket with the gold buttons and have been looking for a similar jacket for myself. I have not been able to find it in a cut that I like and a price that I like. Your goggles are just fine this jacket with black is fabulous. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077262 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 01:41:52 +0000 Angie 1077262@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I vote Killer.

The fit of the jacket is great and I love the length of it. I'm not sure about the gold buttons but that's an easy change. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077165 Thu, 07 Nov 2013 00:06:13 +0000 El Cee 1077165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You look very sleek and sophisticated.

Still it fits you so nicely--looks really sharp. I wouldn't worry about whether it's trendy or not. Let's call it classic. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077128 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 23:42:01 +0000 MuseumGal 1077128@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Looks great! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077126 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 23:40:19 +0000 AviaMariah 1077126@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><span>"so conservative it's edgy" - I kind of like that. &nbsp;:)</p> <p></span> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077122 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 23:38:39 +0000 catgirl 1077122@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket, and I love black and blue.&nbsp; This is one of those "so conservative it's edgy" looks to my eye. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-black-blue-and-does-this-jacket-look-dated#post-1077120 Wed, 06 Nov 2013 23:37:22 +0000 AviaMariah 1077120@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm enjoying wearing a used-to-be-taboo-to-me color combo: navy &amp; black. &nbsp;In fact, DH helpfully informed me this morning that I didn't match. &nbsp;:) &nbsp;Wearing the trusty NYDJ ponte pants, black LS tee, Zara navy booties and this Liz Claiborne jacket that I found at a second hand store a few years ago. &nbsp;The jacket feel great on. &nbsp;And I like it. &nbsp;But I just want to make sure I'm not wearing "I found something great at a second hand store" goggles. &nbsp;I remember there was quite a discussion on the forum awhile back about navy jackets and whether they looked dated or not. &nbsp;Opinions? </p>
