How do you do it? I really like the more nipped in shapes of the first two blazers so I think it may be worth having a bit of shape put into your Smythe blazer. The more tailored shapes are stunning on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-tailored-equestrian#post-1753108 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 20:04:02 +0000 Sara L. 1753108@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great interpretations!&nbsp; I'm impressed that you have three jackets that can work with this ensemble.&nbsp; I really like the jacket in #1 and the colors.&nbsp; Outfit #2 is a great option with lighter colors - I really like the white top and bottoms.&nbsp; I like the jacket in #3 as is, but it really depends on whether you think you would get more wear out of it, if it was tailored. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-tailored-equestrian#post-1753085 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 18:55:40 +0000 Mirjana 1753085@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Tanya I didn't notice before, I think not to do anything with your jacket, I mean #3, it looks good as it is, I am afraid not to ruin it, </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-tailored-equestrian#post-1753037 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 16:33:46 +0000 Tanya 1753037@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really appreciate your kind input, everyone, thank you! I think that the first outfit is my favorite, too.</p> <p>I think the reason the Smythe blazer hasn't been worn much so far is the lifestyle- i is quite dressy while I usually dress fairly casually. But it is fun having a slightly more masculine piece for a change.&nbsp;&nbsp; I know that it is very different from equestrian jackets and my considerations of&nbsp; taking the waist in are not in attempt&nbsp;&nbsp; to go that way.&nbsp;&nbsp; It is simply the matter of fit.&nbsp;&nbsp; There seem to be different opinions about it and I need to think about it some more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-tailored-equestrian#post-1752993 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 14:54:19 +0000 Angie 1752993@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>#1 is Killer to the power of Killer</p> <p>There is no end to your perpetual fabness, Tanya.

I do like the fit of it currently, but it definitely is more of a 'boy' blazer than equestrian and given the sombre colour, I can see why this is not really a go to piece for you currently. I think a more feminine silhouette works better on you. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-tailored-equestrian#post-1752812 Tue, 22 Nov 2016 01:16:24 +0000 Karie 1752812@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>All of your outfits look great, and my favorite is #1. I think the waist on the Smythe blazer looks fine as is.&nbsp; </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-tailored-equestrian#post-1752787 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 23:47:55 +0000 Brooklyn 1752787@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>YLF Tanya. No 1 is my fave. I like the Smythe blazer as is. To my eye the fit issues that you describe are not apparent when you wear it open. Do you wear it closed much? I would only risk having it altered if you like to wear it closed and you really trust the tailor. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-tailored-equestrian#post-1752597 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 15:24:43 +0000 Bonnie 1752597@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Super cute outfits.

I would try that one with long flares too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-tailored-equestrian#post-1752425 Mon, 21 Nov 2016 02:20:45 +0000 UmmLila (Lisa) 1752425@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like the Smythe blazer a lot. I think the length is just right. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-x3-tailored-equestrian#post-1752345 Sun, 20 Nov 2016 21:42:04 +0000 Tanya 1752345@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here are a couple of different interpretations of the tailored equestrian ensemble, worn about two weeks ago when it was posted.&nbsp;&nbsp; I really want a proper Smythe plaid equestrian jacket, but it is not in a budget at a current time.&nbsp; My three versions of the ensemble were built around three different jackets all of which have some of the elements of the dream jacket but not all: <br />1. Jacket #1 is a burgundy ponte Gibson blazer in a proper equestrian cut with the peplum at the back<br />2. Jacket #2 is a plaid navy H&amp;M with suede elbow patches, tailored at the waist, but without the pretty peplum back,<br />3. Jacket #3 is my only Smythe, bought at huge dicount at the beginning of 2015.&nbsp; Even though it is a different cut from the one I wanted- it is called a " Boy Blazer" and it is pretty straight - I couldn't resist it at about ~ $100.&nbsp; I am wondering if I should have the waist taken in or leave it as is - what do you think?&nbsp; I have barely worn it and hope to remedy that this season.&nbsp; </p> <p>The outfits:</p> <p>1. The first equestrian outfit (#1-2) was based on jacket #1 and Angie's Capsule #2 in the blog post.&nbsp; It combines the jacket with a high neck Victorian H&amp;M blouse, black cropped ponte Halogen pants, pewter ET booties and black BR bag.&nbsp; It was worn on Friday 11/5&nbsp; for a day of shopping with my best friend who was visiting from Boston.&nbsp; I tried very hard not to buy anything, but the choker necklace at the end of the Finds followed me home :)</p> <p>2. The second outfit was based on jacket #2 and left outfit in the blog post photo.&nbsp; It combines the jacket with white boatneck AT sweater, white cropped C/E jeans, cognac Gap belt, cognac&nbsp; BR bag and tan Report booties. It was worn on Saturday 11/6 for a fun reunion brunch with my visitors as well as joint local friends.</p> <p>3. The final outfit was based on jacket #3 and right outfit in the blog post image.&nbsp; It combines the charcoal Smythe jacket with black striped BR turtleneck, black cropped BR Sloan pants, ET booties and cognac BR bag.&nbsp; It was pretty cool outside so I topped it all withe J. Crew black mixed-media cocoon coat.&nbsp; This was worn on Monday 11/7 to work. </p>
