However the trench you ordered looks like an even better option, so I hope it works out. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-208139 Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:11:22 +0000 Angie 208139@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>That trench was on my NAS best picks list! It is divine. </p> <p>I do not prefer the look of the cascading cardigan under the cropped biker jacket, but I don't mind other types of longer tops peeking out from under it's hem. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-208083 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:58:54 +0000 Tanya 208083@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Loove that trench, and I think you made a great decision.</p> <p>On the moto jacket, it can be worn over longer pieces, but ones that are clearly tops: knitted shirts, blouses, tunics, or lightweight sweaters /cardis; and not ones that are sort of a final layer themselves like the cascading cardi. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-208074 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:46:15 +0000 bella 208074@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>that trench is absolutely swoon-worthy!

I also need a new down coat for winter. Sigh. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-208040 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:06:47 +0000 biscuitsmom 208040@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think also that you will get more use from the trench, however I think the short jacket would be great in the spring/fall before it gets too cold up here in the Northland. I do like it over a top, rather than the cascading cardi- I think that should be worn alone, or under a longer coat...Im sad to hear you're returning the jacket- it looked so cute on you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-208036 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:03:24 +0000 Queen Mum 208036@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>oh yes, that Nordies trench must find it's way into your wardrobe. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-208033 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 22:02:09 +0000 Anonymous 208033@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Without a regret, I'm packing up the jacket to send back to Macy's and will go for something longer.

Perhaps I should just go for a longer option ... </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207980 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:26:57 +0000 RandomThoughts (Andrea) 207980@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the first outfit with the jacket open. I'm not sure where you live, but I hardly ever zip up my jackets here in Seattle so I see no problem with this look from aesthetic or practical ends. </p> <p>If you live in a very cold climate where buttoning/zipping is necessary and you're worried about the look, I'd go for a longer option. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207979 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:24:37 +0000 greenglove 207979@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think that is a problem we encounter when the jacket is an outside vs. inside jacket. If it is to be worn outside you could wear a cropped sweater or light jacket underneath with a top that is not buttoned but longer in front. Or you could wear just a top that stands on its own like a sweet pea top.</p> <p>I think you might be wanting a more fitted moto-jacket. That one is very cute but the length and style of is an outside jacket. Many moto style jackets are worn more for fashion and will not be taken off. I always like to have a top on underneath that can stand on its own no matter what. I am probably confusing you more. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207976 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:23:49 +0000 Queen Mum 207976@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>If I personally were needing a jacket over the cascading cardi, I think I would pull out my long coat. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207975 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:21:36 +0000 Jen 207975@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I really like it over the cascading cardi and with the gray boots. The button/ sipped up look works I think, but I really like the casualness of the open cascadey styling. And I seriously lust over those boots. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207973 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:19:47 +0000 kellygirl 207973@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love the jacket on you. Not sure about the "peeking" issue. I certainly do it all of the time. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207961 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:09:47 +0000 Anonymous 207961@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So, just wear it over one top? </p> <p>Isn't it supposed to be a jacket that you wear outside and take it off inside, therefore one's outfit should be complete without it?</p> <p>I'm confused. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207960 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:09:42 +0000 Queen Mum 207960@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I think it's fine to wear the cropped jacket over the longer tops, but I don't think I"m crazy about it over the cascading cardigan. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207959 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:09:34 +0000 Lynne 207959@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I like it open over the cascading cardi; I think you wear it well. How does it 'feel'? I love your grey boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207958 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:09:18 +0000 shannon 207958@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm not sure I would wear it either way myself. Opened works better than closed though. I bought a faux leather jacket too and I've been wondering if it's going to fit into my wardrobe as well. I'm pretty sure that if I wore a sweater I would wear my longer coats/jackets. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207954 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 20:04:08 +0000 chewyspaghetti 207954@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I don't think there really is a secret, other than getting a cropped jacket and wearing it over tops rather than a layering piece- the pictures show it over a cascading cardi and a boyfriend cardi. That's not the way I would wear it. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/yay-or-nay-faux-leather-jacket#post-207950 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 19:51:28 +0000 Anonymous 207950@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Here's the deal: I love the look of these jackets, so I bought one. However, most of my wardrobe consists of longer tops and, as a result, my tops peek (okay, more than peek) out the bottom of the jackets.</p> <p>So, I ask you: is this acceptable? Open? Closed? Neither? What's the secret to wearing the moto and bomber jackets with longer tops?</p> <p>Open with cascading cardigan (it looked silly closed):<br /> <a href="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/mrsanniep/clothes6.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i1011.photobucket.com/a.....othes6.jpg</a></p> <p>Closed with more form fitting top underneath:<br /> <a href="http://i1011.photobucket.com/albums/af239/mrsanniep/clothes5.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://i1011.photobucket.com/a.....othes5.jpg</a></p> <p>Alternatively, if you think the jacket is not flattering altogether, let me know that, too! </p>
