I agree that it's probably the substantial, relatively stiff fabric that's giving you that feeling. I have that in a couple of jackets too, but pictures helped convince me that it was *feel* that was bulky, not *look. * </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770922 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 13:51:47 +0000 unfrumped 770922@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>For less casual, dark slim trousers, maybe more of a monochrome look with color in accessories. Ralph Lauren look but not too horsy. For those who can wear sparkle to work, or certainly for dressy casual, a thin knit neutral color lurex sweater or T. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770817 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 05:54:32 +0000 Asingh 770817@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The jacket looks good on you and that pop of red adds fun to the outfit. And no, the jacket doesn't make you look bigger! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770813 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 05:22:44 +0000 Sveta 770813@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Excuse me, bigger where? It is all in your head, girl! :-)<br /> I think it is a stunning jacket and the fit is great too. I want one too!!! And you thrifted it? Unbelievable! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770762 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 03:28:54 +0000 CocoLion 770762@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Very fab!

I look forward to seeing some other styling ideas. I don't think it makes you look bulky at all. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770653 Sat, 10 Nov 2012 00:32:53 +0000 Aida 770653@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>LOVE the jacket! Yes it is certainly a more rigid fabrication than you've been wearing, but that's part of why I love it so ^^ Less casual styling ideas: </p> <p>- slim trousers, printed blouse OR fine gauge tee, tall sleek boots (do you have any of those though? hmm)<br /> - all/almost the same shade pencil skirt, tights, oxfords, top<br /> - over a sheathe<br /> - might work with slouchy trousers and a very fitted top </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770485 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:23:41 +0000 Sara L. 770485@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see any added bulk either. I think it makes you look long and lean. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770483 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:20:27 +0000 ElleH 770483@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket &amp; it does not make you look bigger. I bought a Smythe jacket last year that I loved &amp; returned because hubby didn't like it. I wish I hadn't now but his dislike on an expensive item made me think that perhaps I didn't need it or have anywhere to wear it. I should have kept it.</p> <p>I think it would look great with riding boots unless you think that is too much of a costume. Also with skinny pants or jodhpurs but again maybe too costumey?</p> <p>Perhaps tall boots that aren't riding boots &amp; skinny pants that aren't jodhpurs would look less costumey. I think tall boots would look great. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770481 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:16:00 +0000 catgirl 770481@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>You all are so sweet! I am liking this more now... I think the issue is that this is heavier and less drapey than what I usually wear even my woven jackets an that makes it feel bulky but I can see that is really isn't. It is warm and comfy for sure. Will need to find some other styling options that aren't so casual. Any ideas? </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770478 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:10:12 +0000 amiable 770478@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Wow! Awesome jacket! Wish I could find one like it </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770475 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 20:03:13 +0000 unfrumped 770475@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the look! I love tweedy and tattersall wool jackets, and this one looks like a good fit and style for you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770465 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 19:39:28 +0000 Suz 770465@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Bulk? </p> <p>I am scratching my head at that one. You look streamlined and terrific to me. I love this outfit and would wear it in a heartbeat. A HEARTbeat, I say!! </p> <p>I wonder why it feels bulky, though? Might be worth analyzing a bit. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770447 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 19:02:03 +0000 Mo 770447@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love it! At first I just had to open the thread when I read you and equestrian in the same sentence This reminds me of my own Willow &amp; Clay that I love - and I'm about as equestrian style as you are. So there ya go - it can work, and does! I don't see any 'bigness' here by the way. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770436 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 18:55:33 +0000 A.Kiernan 770436@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm so in love with that jacket! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770409 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 18:22:59 +0000 Diana 770409@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the jacket! I also do not see any bulkiness. I have been looking for a cutaway riding jacket like that for ages - cannot afford the smythe, and everything else seems to be too long/low for me. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770408 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 18:21:36 +0000 rae 770408@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Eh? I think the cutaway is very slimming, actually. Super thrift find! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770401 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 18:05:46 +0000 Gaylene 770401@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't see the bulk, but how you feel in something when you put it on is just as important as how it looks in a picture. The jacket makes quite a statement because of its shape and pattern, so you might feel sleeker if you let it be the star and used Angie's column of color as a backdrop. And, for some reason, I'm not really liking the idea of scrunching on this particular jacket (and normally I'm a BIG fan of scrunching!)--it seems at odds with the dramatic lines of the jacket, somehow. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770390 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:49:33 +0000 rachylou 770390@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That's perfection. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770382 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:44:02 +0000 Raisin 770382@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Ooh, I like the little pattern peeking out of the sleeves! You're very small so it would be easy to be overwhelmed by a jacket, but I think this one fits great! It's a good length, and a little relaxed but not super boxy. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770379 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:41:33 +0000 TraceyLiz65 770379@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>A great thrifted find. Looks wonderful on you... does not add any bulk </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770375 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:34:40 +0000 Sona 770375@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>love the jacket. you look fab! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770373 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:32:31 +0000 JuneBug 770373@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Nice jacket! I do see why you think it makes you look bulky, but I don't think it's because of the jacket! I think it's because of the jeans that have scrunched up over your boots that lends a feel of non existant bulk! Have you tried the same top and jacket with skinnies that fold, or cropped pants/ leggings? Probably that would balance out these proportions visually. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-jacket-challenge-equestrian-style#post-770367 Fri, 09 Nov 2012 17:25:56 +0000 MsMary 770367@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think you look great!

It's cutaway and longer in back. It is a bulkier weight wool mix and I feel like it makes me look bigger than I am in the mirror. What do you think? </p> <p>Cabi riding jacket (thrifted)<br /> Gap skinnies<br /> Old red tank<br /> DV boots</p> <p>Off to spelling and a lunch meeting.... Feedback welcome! </p>
